Subject:
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS), Units 1, 2, and 3 Docket Numbers 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 License Amendment Request to Update Pressure-Temperature Limit Curves License Amendment Request (LAR) No. 2012-10 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy) proposes to amend Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for ONS Units 1, 2, and 3. This LAR proposes to replace the current ONS Units 1, 2, and 3 pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curves in Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.3 with new P-T limit curves applicable to 54 effective full power years (EFPY). Also, changes are proposed to the operational requirements for unit heatup and cooldown in TS Tables 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2. The low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) requirements, which are based on P-T limits, will also be applicable to 54 EFPY. No changes are required to LTOP requirements.
The P-T limits for ONS Units 1, 2, and 3 reactor pressure vessels were developed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, using the analytical methods and flaw acceptance criteria of ASME Code Section Xl, Appendix G and AREVA Topical Report BAW-10046A, Revision 2. The reference temperature for nil-ductility transition (RTNDT) values of the reactor vessel beltline welds (Linde 80 welds) were determined using methods provided in Topical Report BAW-2308, "Initial RTNDT of Linde 80 Weld Materials," Revisions 1-A and 2-A, rather than the methodology described within Topical Report BAW-1 0046A, Revision 2, which was used to evaluate the other beltline components.
Exemptions from 10 CFR 50.61, "Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements" were required to allow use of the alternate initial RTNDT values provided in BAW-2308, Revisions 1-A and 2-A. The NRC approved exemptions for ONS from these requirements by letter dated April 26, 2012. The projected fluence values at 54 EFPY are based on Topical Report BAW-2241 P-A, Revision 2, which adheres to the guidance contained in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence." An evaluation of the proposed change is provided in the Enclosure

SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION This License Amendment Request (LAR) proposes to replace the current Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) Units 1, 2, and 3 pressure/temperature (P-T) limit curves in Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.3 with new P-T limit curves applicable to 54 effective full power years (EFPY). Also, changes are proposed to the operational requirements for unit heatup and cooldown in TS Tables 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2. The low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) requirements, which are based on P-T limits, will also be applicable to 54 EFPY. No changes are required to LTOP requirements.
The P-T limits for ONS Units 1, 2, and 3 reactor pressure vessels were developed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, using the analytical methods and flaw acceptance criteria of ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G and AREVA Topical Report BAW-1 0046A, Revision 2. The reference temperature for nil-ductility transition (RTNDT) values of the reactor vessel beltline welds (Linde 80 welds) were determined using methods provided in Topical Report BAW-2308, "Initial RTNDT of Linde 80 Weld Materials," Revisions 1-A and 2-A, rather than the methodology described within Topical Report BAW-1 0046A, Revision 2, which was used to evaluate the other beltline components.
Exemptions from 10 CFR 50.61, "Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements" were required to allow use of the alternate initial RTNDT values provided in BAW-2308, Revisions 1-A and 2-A. The NRC approved exemptions for ONS from these requirements by letter dated April 26, 2012. The projected fluence values at 54 EFPY are based on Topical Report BAW-2241 P-A, Revision 2, which adheres to the guidance contained in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence.".An evaluation of the proposed change is provided in Section 3.0. The marked up and revised TS pages are provided in Attachments 1 and 2, respectively.
Enclosure 2, AREVA Topical Report ANP-3127, "Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, & 3 Pressure-Temperature Limits at 54 EFPY, January 2013," provides the technical basis for the proposed change.The current 33 EFPY P-T limit curves are projected to expire in March 2014. Duke Energy requests approval of the proposed LAR by January 31, 2014, effective immediately on issuance with implementation within 60 days. There are no new commitments being made as a result of this proposed change.2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
2.1 Background
The proposed amendment extends the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB) Technical Specification Pressure-Temperature (P-T) operating limits of Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3 (ONS-1, ONS-2 and ONS-3) from 33 EFPY to 54 EFPY. The proposed P-T limits are established in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G. These P-T limits are generated for normal operation heatup, normal operation cooldown, inservice leak and hydrostatic (ISLH) test conditions, and reactor core operations.
These limits are expressed in the form of curves of allowable pressure versus temperature.
The uncorrected P-T limits for the three Enclosure 1 -Evaluation of Proposed Change License Amendment Request No. 2012-10 February 22, 2012 Page 2 ONS units were determined for 54 effective full power years (EFPY) of operation.
Pressure correction factors were determined between the pressure sensor locations (pressure tap in the Decay Heat Removal System (DHRS) drop line and two pressure taps in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) hot leg) and various regions of the reactor vessel. The TS pressure-temperature operating limits applicable to ONS-1, ONS-2, and ONS-3 are developed for 54 EFPY of reactor operation.
In addition, the minimum temperature for core criticality is determined to satisfy the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G.The ability of the reactor pressure vessel to resist fracture is the primary factor in ensuring the safety of the primary system in light water-cooled reactors.
The three areas of the reactor pressure vessel addressed in the present report are the beltline shell region, the reactor coolant nozzles, and the closure head flange region.A method for guarding against brittle fracture in reactor pressure vessels is described in Appendix G of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components." This method utilizes fracture mechanics concepts and the reference temperature for nil-ductility transition (RTNDT). The RTNDT is defined as the greater of the drop weight nil-ductility transition temperature (per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E208) or the temperature at which the material exhibits 50 ft-lbs absorbed energy and 35 mils lateral expansion minus 601F.The RTNDT of a given material is used to index that material to a reference stress intensity factor curve (K 1 c). The Kjc curve appears in Appendix G of ASME Code Section XI. When a given material is indexed to the K 1 , curve, allowable stress intensity factors can be obtained for this material as a function of temperature.
Plant operating limits can then be determined using these allowable stress intensity factors.The beltline region of the reactor vessel is the most highly exposed to neutron irradiation.
The general effects of fast neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of low-alloy ferritic steels such as SA-302, Grade B, modified and SA-508, Class 2 forging material used in the fabrication of the ONS Units reactor vessels and inlet and outlet nozzles, are well characterized and documented in the literature.
The effects of irradiation on these steels include an increase in the yield and ultimate strengths and a decrease in ductility.
The most significant effect, however, is an increase in the temperature associated with the transition from brittle to ductile fracture and a reduction in the Charpy upper-shelf energy value.Pressure-temperature limits for the ONS Units reactor vessels are developed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, utilizing the analytical methods and flaw acceptance criteria of AREVA Topical Report BAW-10046A, Revision 2, "Methods of Compliance with Fracture Toughness and Operational Requirements of 10CFR Appendix G," dated June 1986, and ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G.The ONS-1 reactor vessel contains both axially and circumferentially oriented welds. Therefore, the P-T limits for ONS-1 are based on the postulation of both axial and circumferential flaws in the most limiting axial and circumferential welds. Since ONS-2 and ONS-3 reactor vessels do not contain any axial welds in their beltline regions, axial flaws are postulated in the most limiting forging materials of these reactor vessels.
Enclosure 1 -Evaluation of Proposed Change License Amendment Request No. 2012-10 February 22, 2012 Page 3 2.2 Technical Specification Change Description The new proposed P-T limits will be applicable to 54 EFPY and will ensure that all RCS components will be able to withstand the effects of transient loads due to system temperature and pressure changes without their functions or performance being impaired.
These loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and startup and shutdown operations.
The Low Temperature Overpressurization Protection (LTOP) pressure limit (adjusted for location and instrument uncertainty) at 54 EFPY that bounds all three ONS Units is 540 psig (ONS-1).The 54 EFPY LTOP limiting pressure remains above the current Pressurizer Power-Operated Relief Valve (PORV) setpoint of 535 psig. Therefore, the current PORV low-pressure setpoint (535 psig) remains acceptable for plant operation to 54 EFPY for all three ONS units.The minimum 54 EFPY LTOP enable temperature that bounds all three ONS Units with instrument uncertainty is 276.81F (ONS-3). This value is lower than the current operationally imposed LTOP enable temperature of 3251F at 33 EFPY. Therefore, the current operationally imposed LTOP temperature of 325 0 F remains acceptable for plant operation to 54 EFPY for all three ONS units.The proposed change is as follows: TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.3 currently provides the P-T limits for RCS Normal Operational Heatup Limitations, RCS Normal Operational Cooldown Limitations, and RCS Leak and Hydrostatic Test Heatup and Cooldown Limitations applicable to the first 33 EFPY in Figures 3.4.3-1, 3.4.3-2 & 3.4.3-3 respectively for ONS-1, in Figures 3.4.3-4, 3.4.3-5, & 3.4.3-6 respectively for ONS-2, and in Figures 3.4.3-7, 3.4.3-8, & 3.4.3-9 respectively for ONS-3. The proposed change would replace the existing P-T limits for 33 EFPY with P-T limits for 54 EFPY.Also, changes to the operational requirements for unit heatup and cooldown in TS Tables 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2 are proposed.
These changes are supported by the new 54 EFPY P-T limits. The proposed changes are depicted in the TS markup and retype provided in Attachments 1 and 2.3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION The current P-T limit curves will expire at 33 EFPY. AREVA NP was contracted to update the P-T Limit Curves and LTOP analysis to 54 EFPY based on current ASME methods and regulatory requirements.
The new P-T limit curves have been adjusted based on pressure differential between point of system pressure measurement and the point in the reactor vessel that establishes the controlling unadjusted pressure limits. The P-T limit curves do not include margins for instrument error.The basis for the proposed change is provided in AREVA Topical Report ANP-3127, Revision 1,"Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, & 3 Pressure-Temperature Limits at 54 EFPY," January 2013. The Topical Report, which is provided in Enclosure 2, provides the methodology for determining the new P-T limits, provides an evaluation of the adjusted reference temperatures for each ONS unit, describes the essential analytical parameters used in the preparation of ONS-1, 2, and 3 P-T limits, and provides the technical basis for the P-T limits. The P-T limits were developed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, using the analytical methods and flaw acceptance criteria of ASME Code Section Xl, Appendix G and AREVA Topical Enclosure 1 -Evaluation of Proposed Change License Amendment Request No. 2012-10 February 22, 2012 Page 4 Report BAW-10046A, Revision 2. The reference temperature for nil-ductility transition (RTNDT)values of the reactor vessel beltline welds (Linde 80 welds) were determined using methods provided in Topical Report BAW-2308, "Initial RTNDTmofLinde 80 Weld Materials," Revisions 1-A and 2-A, rather than the methodology described within Topical Report BAW-1 0046A, Revision 2, which was used to evaluate the other beltline components.
Exemptions from 10 CFR 50.61,"Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements" were required to allow use of the alternate initial RTNDT values provided in BAW-2308, Revisions 1-A and 2-A. The NRC approved exemptions for ONS from these requirements by letter dated April 26, 2012. The projected fluence values at 54 EFPY are based on Topical Report BAW-2241 P-A, Revision 2, which adheres to the guidance contained in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence."
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Significant
Hazards Consideration Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below: 1) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
No. The proposed amendment replaces the current Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS)Units 1, 2, and 3 pressure/temperature'(P-T) limit curves applicable to 33 effective full power years (EFPY) in Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.3 with new P-T limit curves applicable to 54 EFPY. The proposed changes also revise the Reactor Coolant System heatup and cooldown rates and allowable reactor coolant pump combinations of TS Tables 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2. The pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curves in the TSs were conservatively generated in accordance with fracture toughness requirements of ASME Code Section Xl, Appendix G, and the minimum pressure and temperature requirements as listed in Table 1 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G. The proposed changes do not impact the capability of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (i.e., no change in operating pressure, materials, seismic loading, etc.).Therefore, the proposed changes do not increase the potential for the occurrence of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The changes do not modify the reactor coolant system pressure boundary, nor make any physical changes to the facility design, material, or construction standards.
The probability of any design basis accident (DBA) is not affected by this change, nor are the consequences of any DBA affected by this change. The proposed P-T limits, heatup and cooldown rates and allowable operating reactor coolant pump combinations are not considered to be an initiator or contributor to any accident analysis addressed in the ONS Updated Final Safety Analyses Report (UFSAR).The proposed changes will not impact assumptions and conditions previously used in the radiological consequence evaluations nor affect the mitigation of these consequences due to an accident described in the UFSAR. Also, the proposed Enclosure 1 -Evaluation of Proposed Change License Amendment Request No. 2012-10 February 22, 2012 Page 5 changes will not impact a plant system such that previously analyzed SSCs might be more likely to fail. The initiating conditions and assumptions for accidents described in the UFSAR r6main as analyzed.Therefore, the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased.
- 2) Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No. The requirements for P-T limit curves have been in place since the beginning of plant operation.
The revised curves are based on a later edition to Section Xl of the ASME Code that incorporates current industry standards for P-T curves. The revised curves are based on reactor vessel irradiation damage predictions using Regulatory Guide 1.99 methodology.
No new failure modes are identified nor are any SSCs required to be operated outside the design bases. Therefore, the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any kind of accident previously evaluated is not created.3) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?No. The proposed P-T curves continue to maintain the safety margins of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, by defining the limits of operation which prevent non-ductile failure of the reactor pressure vessel. Analyses have demonstrated that the fracture toughness requirements are satisfied and that conservative operating restrictions are maintained for the purpose of low temperature overpressure protection.
The P-T limit curves provide assurance that the RCS pressure boundary will behave in a ductile manner and that the probability of a rapidly propagating fracture is minimized.
Therefore, this request does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.4.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements" 10 CFR 50, Appendix G requires P-T limits and minimum temperature requirements be established for the reactor pressure vessel. These limits are defined by the various plant operating conditions, whether or not fuel is in the vessel, whether or not the core is critical, and the reactor vessel pressure.
The operating conditions include, but are not limited to, hydrostatic pressure and leak testing and normal operation including anticipated operational occurrences.
The regulation also requires the P-T limits be at least as conservative as the limits obtained by following the methods of analysis and margins contained in the ASME Code, Section Xl, Appendix G.
Enclosure 1 -Evaluation of Proposed Change License Amendment Request No. 2012-10 February 22, 2012 Page 6 Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, "Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials" Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.99, Revision 2, contains methodologies for determining the change in RTNDT resulting from neutron radiation.
The use of the RG provides an acceptable means of ensuring the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G are satisfied.
The RG also indicates that other methodologies could be used for complying with the specified portions of the regulation.
American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against Failure" As indicated in the description for 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, above, the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications and Operating License meet the requirements of the ASME Code, Section Xl, Appendix G as modified by the NRC-accepted ASME Code Cases N-588 and N-640.4.3 Precedence
