These notices of enforcement discretion (NOEDs) provided a 72-hour extension to the 12-hour CT specified in Required Action C.l (i.e., "Be in MODE 3"). This extension enabled each site to avoid a TS-required shutdown while implementing short-term repair and restoration activities for an emergent issue impacting SLC system operability.

EGC has utilized the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.1 74, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment In Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," to develop the technical basis for this LAR. The EGC analysis demonstrates, with reasonable assurance, that the proposed LAR satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.1 74 and Regulatory Guide 1.1 77, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk- lnformed Decision-making: Technical Specifications." The proposed LAR meets the intent of very small risk increases, consistent with the NRC1s Safety Goal Policy Statement.

==1.0 DESCRIPTION==
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requests an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS) Units 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed amendment revises Technical Specification (TS) 3.1.7, "Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system," by extend ing the Completion Time (CT) associated with Condition B (i.e., Two SLC subsystems inoperable) from 8 hours to 72 hours. LSCS TS LCO 3.1.7 requires the operability of two SLC subsystems when the reactor is in Modes 1 and 2. In Modes 1 and 2, the SLC system satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.62, "Requirements for reduction of risk from anticipated transients without scram (ATWS) events for light-water-cooled nuclear power plants," and "10 CFR 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," Criterion (GDC) 26, "Reactivity control system redundancy and
 
capability." By letter dated August 26, 2008 (Reference 1), EGC requested an amendment to the LSCS TS regarding the adoption of an alternate source term (AST) methodology. The NRC is currently reviewing the proposed license amendment. Upon approval and implementation of the proposed AST license amendment, LSCS TS LCO 3.1.7 will also require the operability of the SLC system in Mode 3 to ensure compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident
 
source term." TS 3.1.7, Condition B and the associated Required Action B.1 address the inoperability of both SLC subsystems. Specifically, Required Action B.1 requires restoration of one SLC subsystem to operable status, with a CT of eight hours. If Required Action B.1 cannot be satisfied within the CT, Condition C and associated Required Action C.1 require the reactor to be in Mode 3 within 12 hours. The current CT for Required Action B.1 is based on the low probability of a design basis accident or transient occurring, concurrent with the failure of the control rods to shut down the reactor. Consistent with this current basis, the proposed TS CT change is based upon a risk-informed assessment that evaluates the probability and consequences of transients, accidents, and severe accidents, including the design basis accident and transients occurring concurrent with control rod insertion failure. EGC has utilized the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment In Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," to develop the risk assessment for this proposed change. The EGC assessment demonstrates, with reasonable assurance, that the proposed license amendment satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174 and Regulatory Guide 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decision-making: Technical Specifications."  The proposed license amendment meets the intent of very small risk increases, consistent with the NRC's Safety Goal Policy Statement. In addition to evaluating the risk impact, EGC has evaluated the proposed change to determine whether the impact of the change is consistent with the intent of the defense-in-depth philosophy and the principle that sufficient safety margins are maintained (i.e., consistent with the requirements of RG 1.177, Section C, "Regulatory Position," paragraph 2.2, "Traditional Engineering Considerations").
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 3 of 19 EGC has also determined that the EGC Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) maintenance, update processes, and technical capability evaluations provide a robust basis for concluding
 
that the EGC PRA is suitable for use in risk-informed licensing actions. EGC conducted a PRA technical adequacy evaluation, consistent with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for
 
Risk-Informed Activities," Revision 1. 2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE The proposed amendment revises the CT for LSCS TS 3.1.7, Required Action B.1 from eight hours to 72 hours. 3.0 BACKGROUND The SLC system is designed to provide the capability of bringing the reactor, at any time in a fuel cycle, from full power and minimum control rod inventory to a subcritical condition with the reactor in the most reactive, xenon free state without taking credit for control rod movement.
The SLC system satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.62, "Requirements for reduction of risk from anticipated transients without scram (ATWS) events for light-water-cooled nuclear power plants." LSCS TS LCO 3.1.7 requires the operability of two SLC subsystems when the reactor is in Modes 1 and 2. TS 3.1.7, Condition B and the associated Required Action B.1 address the inoperability of both SLC subsystems. Specifically, Required Action B.1 requires restoration of one SLC subsystem to operable status, with a CT of eight hours. If Required Action B.1 cannot be satisfied within the CT, Condition C and associated Required Action C.1 requires the reactor to be in Mode 3 within 12 hours. In October 2006 and January 2007, EGC requested Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs) for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) Unit 1 and Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS) Unit 2, respectively, to allow sufficient time for the repair of minor SLC system tank leaks. The NRC granted these NOEDs, allowing an additional 72 hours to the original 12-hour CT for TS 3.1.7, Required Action C.1 (i.e., "Be in MODE 3") for the emergent dual-train inoperability of the SLC systems (References 2 and 3). The purpose of this proposed LAR is to adopt a permanent, risk-informed CT extension for LSCS TS 3.1.7, Required Action B.1, thus minimizing the potential for thermal transients associated with placing LSCS Units 1 and 2 in Mode 3. The integrity of the reactor vessel and other components of the primary system of a nuclear plant can be adversely affected by the number of thermal transients that they are subjected to during their lifetime. As each additional thermal transient can affect this integrity, it is prudent to avoid such transients. 4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS The proposed change is consistent with the principle that adequate defense-in-depth is maintained, that sufficient safety margins are maintained, and that increases in risk are very small and meet the acceptance guidelines in RG 1.74, RG 1.77, and the NRC's Safety Goal Policy Statement. This consistency is described below, as well as in Attachment 4.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 4 of 19 4.1 System Description The SLC system consists of a boron solution storage tank, two positive displacement pumps, two explosive valves that are provided in parallel for redundancy, and associated piping and valves used to transfer borated water from the storage tank to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The borated solution is discharged near the bottom of the core shroud, where it then mixes with the cooling water rising through the core. A smaller tank containing demineralized water is provided for testing purposes. The performance objective of the SLC system is to provide an alternative to the highly reliable control rod drive (CRD) scram system for reactivity control. The SLC system is designed to bring the reactor from rated power to a cold shutdown condition at any time in core life. The negative reactivity reduces reactor power from rated to zero level and allows cooling the nuclear system to room temperature, with the control rods remaining withdrawn in the rated power pattern. It includes the reactivity gains that result from complete decay of the rated power xenon inventory. It also includes the positive reactivity effects from eliminating steam voids, changing water density from hot to cold, reduced Doppler effect in uranium, reducing neutron leakage from boiling to cold, and decreasing control rod worth as the moderator cools. In order to provide adequate shutdown margin, the minimum average concentration of 45% enriched boron in the reactor, after operation of the SLC System, is 660 ppm. This shutdown margin calculation is performed on a cycle specific basis. Sodium pentaborate is injected into the reactor based on the required boron concentration of 660 ppm in the reactor coolant including recirculation loops, at 68°F and normal reactor water level. The concentration injected is increased by 25% to allow for imperfect mixing and leakage. An additional 250 ppm is provided to accommodate dilution by the Residual Heat Removal system in the shutdown cooling mode. In Reference 1, EGC requested an amendment to the LSCS TS regarding the adoption of an alternate source term (AST) methodology. The NRC is currently reviewing the proposed license amendment. As part of the proposed AST methodology, EGC will use the SLC system to inject sodium pentaborate into the RPV following a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in order to maintain suppression pool pH above 7 (i.e., in order to ensure against re-evolution of elemental iodine). Upon approval and implementation of the proposed AST license amendment, the SLC system will also be required to be operable in Mode 3 to ensure that offsite doses remain within 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term," limits following a LOCA involving significant fission product releases. The SLC system is manually initiated from t he main control room, as directed by the emergency operating procedures, if and when the operator determines the reactor cannot be shut down, or kept shut down, with the control rods. The SLC system is used in the event that not enough control rods can be inserted to accomplish shutdown and cooldown in the normal manner.
4.2 Defense-in-Depth The control rods are the primary reactivity control system for the reactors at LSCS. In conjunction with the Reactor Protection System (RPS), the control rods provide the means for reliable control of reactivity changes to ensure that, under conditions of ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 5 of 19 normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded. Operability of the control rods is governed by TS 3.1.3, "Control Rod OPERABILITY," and the control rods are demonstrated operable by the performance of TS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 3.1.3.1 through 3.1.3.5. This Specification, along with TS 3.1.4, "Control Rod Scram Times," TS 3.1.5, "Control Rod Scram Accumulators," and TS 3.1.6, "Rod Pattern Control," ensure that the performance of the control rods in the event of a Design Basis Accident (DBA) or transient meets the assumptions used in the safety analyses. Scram reliability is ensured by a number of design and operational features:  Two sources of scram energy (accumulator and reactor pressure) provide a complementary motive force for each control rod drive whenever the reactor is
 
operating. Each control rod drive mechanism has its own scram valves and scram pilot valves. Alternatively each drive mechanism may have a single pilot valve with dual solenoid operated pilot assemblies in place of two scram pilot valves. With either scram pilot valve configuration, only one drive can be affected if a scram valve fails to open. Two pilot solenoids are provided for each drive. Both pilot solenoids must be de-energized to initiate a scram of that drive mechanism. The reactor protection system and the control rod drive Hydraulic Control Units are designed so that the scram signal and mode of operation override all others. The control rod drive collet assembly and index tube are designed so they will not restrain or prevent control rod insertion during scram. The scram discharge volume is monitored for accumulated water and will scram the reactor before the volume is reduced to a point that could interfere with a scram. The alternate rod insertion (ARI) system provides an alternate means of exhausting the scram air header and closing the vent and drain valves of the scram discharge volume, thereby providing an additional reactor scram mechanism which is diverse, redundant and independent of the reactor protection system. In addition to the ARI system, the ATWS Recirculating Pump Trip (RPT) system provides an additional means for rapid power reduction. The ATWS-RPT system initiates a recirculation pump trip, adding negative reactivity, following events in which a scram does not, but should occur, to lessen the effects of an ATWS event. Turbine stop valve closure or turbine control valve fast closure operational transients will initiate a reactor scram and a recirculation pump trip in time to maintain the reactor core within the thermal hydraulic safety limit. As noted above, operability of the trip function of the control rods is demonstrated by specific SRs. For the control rod scram function to fail when a valid signal is sent, a diverse number of failures would have to occur in order in prevent the scram valves from
 
opening. The proposed change to the SLC CT does not affect the redundancy, independence, and diversity of the RPS and ARI systems, as well as the RPT. These systems and instrumentation remain operable to mitigate the consequences of any previously analyzed accident. In addition to the TS 3.1.3 requirements for control rod operability, ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 6 of 19 the EGC Work Management and Maintenance Rule (i.e., 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)) programs provide controls and assessments to minimize the probability of simultaneous outages of redundant trains and ensure system reliability. The proposed SLC CT extension does not involve any change to plant equipment or system design functions. This proposed TS CT extension does not change the design function of the SLC system and does not affect the system's ability to perform its design function. As such, the proposed change complies with the defense-in-depth principles described in RG 1.174, paragraph 2.2.1.1 and RG 1.177, paragraph 2.2.1. These principles, and the impact of the proposed change on each, are described below. A reasonable balance is preserved between prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation. The proposed SLC CT extension does not affect the ability of the SLC system, or any other system, to prevent core damage, prevent containment failure, or mitigate the consequences of an accident. The proposed change has only a very small impact on risk. The proposed change does not compensate for this risk impact with an assumption of improved containment integrity, nor does this proposed change degrade containment integrity and compensate with an assumption of improved core
 
damage prevention. Over-reliance on programmatic activities to compensate for weaknesses in plant design is avoided. Plant design for both the primary (i.e., RPS and ARI/RPT) and alternate (i.e., SLC) reactivity control systems at LSCS is robust. The proposed SLC CT extension does not require, nor rely upon programmatic activities to compensate for weaknesses in plant design. The dual-channel RPS, in concert with the control rods, ensures reliable and automatic control of reactivity changes to ensure that fuel design limits are not exceeded. The scram system is designed so that the scram signal overrides all other operating signals. Upon loss of either instrument air or electrical power, the scram valves will fail open. Hence, failure of the valves' air system or electric system will produce, rather than prevent, a scram. System redundancy, independence, and diversity are maintained commensurate with the expected frequency and consequences of challenges to the system. The redundancy, independence, and diversity of the RPS, the control rods, and the control rod drive system are not affected during the extended 72-hour SLC CT.
Entry into the dual-train SLC CT will be assessed and managed in accordance with the EGC Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP). Additional redundancy for reactivity control is established by the LSCS Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). The EOPs describe the actions and criteria for manual addition of boron into the reactor coolant system, should RPS, the control rods, the control rod drive system, and the SLC be unable to perform the specifed design functions.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 7 of 19  Defenses against potential common cause failures are maintained and the potential for introduction of new common cause failure mechanisms is
 
assessed. The extended SLC CT does not change the design function of the SLC system. Therefore, the proposed change does not affect existing common cause failure mechanisms. In addition, the operating environment and operating parameters for the SLC system, the RPS system, the control rods, and the control rod drive system remain constant; therefore, new common cause failures modes are not expected.
Therefore, no new potential common cause failure mechanisms have been introduced by the proposed change. Independence of barriers is not degraded. The extended CT does not provide a mechanism that degrades the independence of fission product barriers, (i.e., fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system, or
 
containment). Defenses against human errors are maintained. The risk assessment for the extended SLC CT does not credit, nor require new operator actions. Therefore, the proposed change does not impact defense-in-depth
 
against human error. 4.3 Safety Margin Assessment The proposed SLC CT extension does not involve a reduction in the margin of safety. The margin of safety is established through the design of the plant structures, systems, and components, the parameters within which the plant is operated, and the setpoints for the actuation of equipment relied upon to respond to an event. The proposed amendment does not modify the safety limits or setpoints at which protective actions are initiated. Safety margins applicable to the SLC system include pump capacity, boron concentration, boron enrichment, and system response timing. Since this proposed TS amendment does not change the SLC system design, but only extends a CT, safety margins are not challenged. 4.4 Risk Assessment The CT is defined as part of the limiting condition for operation (LCO), and is intended to allow sufficient time to repair failed equipment while minimizing the risk associated with the loss of the component function. An extension of the CT increases the unavailability of a component due to the increased time the component is out-of-service for maintenance. The CT risk is reflected in the core damage frequency (CDF) and the large early release frequency (LERF) by adjusting the component unavailability due to
 
maintenance. The proposed CT extension for the dual-train inoperability of the LSCS SLC system provides additional time to complete test and maintenance activities while at power, potentially reducing the number of forced outages related to compliance with the existing
 
CT.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 8 of 19 EGC completed a risk assessment for LSCS using the full power internal events, Level 1 CDF model and the associated Level 2 LERF model. This risk assessment is provided in Attachment 4. The risk assessment was performed in accordance with the requirements in RG 1.174, RG 1.177, and RG 1.200, Revision 1. The results of these risk assessments are discussed below. 4.4.1 Regulatory Standards The RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines for a permanent TS change specify that the delta ()CDF and the LERF associated with the change should be less than specified acceptable values, which are dependent on the baseline CDF and LERF. These specified acceptable values are presented for two ranges of risk impacts, those described as "small changes" and those described as "very small changes."  EGC utilized the acceptance guidelines for "very small changes" in the risk assessment for the proposed LSCS TS change. The RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines prescribe that the risk metrics of CDF and LERF be less than 1.0E-06/yr and 1.0E-07/yr, respectively, to establish a very small risk increase with no additional compensatory measures required. RG 1.174 also specifies guidelines for consideration of external events, and stipulates that external events can be evaluated in either a qualitative or
 
quantitative manner. RG 1.177 identifies a three-tiered approach for the evaluation of the risk associated with a proposed TS change. Tier 1, PRA Capability and Insights Tier 1 is an evaluation of the plant-specific risk associated with the proposed TS change, as shown by the change in CDF and incremental conditional core damage probability (ICCDP). Where applicable, containment performance should be evaluated on the basis of an analysis of LERF and incremental conditional large early release probability (ICLERP). The acceptance guidelines given in RG 1.177 for determining an acceptable TS change is that the ICCDP and the ICLERP associated with the change should be less than 5E-07 and 5E-08, respectively. Tier 2, Avoidance of Risk Significant Plant Configuration Tier 2 identifies and evaluates, with respect to defense-in-depth, any potential risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations associated with the proposed change. As such, procedures should provide reasonable assurance that risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations will not occur when equipment associated with the proposed TS change is out-of-service.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 9 of 19  Tier 3, Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management Tier 3 provides for the establishment of an overall CRMP and confirmation that its insights are incorporated into the decision-making process before taking equipment out-of-service prior to or during the CT. Compared with Tier 2, Tier 3 provides additional coverage based on any additional risk significant configurations that may be encountered during maintenance scheduling over extended periods of plant operation. Tier 3 guidance can be satisfied by the Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)), which requires a licensee to assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from activities such as surveillance, testing, and corrective and preventive maintenance. RG 1.200, Revision 1 describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision-making for light-water reactors. This guidance is intended to be consistent with the NRC's PRA Policy Statement and more detailed guidance in RG 1.174. RG 1.200, Revision 1 endorses Addendum B of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Standard RA-S-2002, "Standard for Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," Addenda RA-Sa-2003, and Addenda RA-Sb-2005, as applicable to full power internal event (FPIE) PRA
 
models. Since that time, the new ASME/American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standard RA-Sa-2009, "Addenda to RA-S-2008, Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," has been released. Although this standard is presently issued and endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2, neither of these documents adds further requirements that impact the results of the SLC CT risk assessment. 4.4.2 Tier 1: PRA Capability and Insights As stated in RG 1.177, Tier 1 is an evaluation of the impact of the proposed TS change on CDF, ICCDP, and, when appropriate LERF and ICLERP considering PRA validity, and PRA insights and findings. Table 4.4.2-1 below provides the plant-specific risk associated with the proposed LSCS TS change using the FPIE PRA models and based on the risk metrics of CDF, ICCDP, LERF, and ICLERP.

(1) (1) _________________________________ (1) In accordance with RG 1.174, paragraph 2.2.5.5, "Comparisons with Acceptance Guidelines," EGC performed a qualitative assessment of external event risk associated with the proposed LSCS SLC CT extension (i.e., as described below and in Appendix A of Attachment 4) to demonstrate that the changes in risk remain within the acceptance guidelines. The base results of the risk assessment, as summarized in Table 4.4.2-1 above indicate that the CDF, ICCDP, LERF, and ICLERP risk metric values for the proposed change are below the acceptance guidelines as defined in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177. This analysis demonstrates that the proposed TS change satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, and therefore meets the intent of very small risk increases consistent with the NRC's Safety Goal Policy Statement. As part of the risk assessments, EGC performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the maximum allowable CT prior to exceeding the "very small" acceptance criteria. For this sensitivity, ICCDP and ICLERP were set to their maximum allowable values in RG 1.177, and the CT NEW allowable was calculated. ICLERP was determined to be the bounding parameter, and a CT NEW value of 295 hours was calculated. This value represents significant margin, relative to the proposed CT extension. The LSCS risk assessment also includes a qualitative assessment of external event risks in accordance with RG 1.174, paragraph 2.2.5.5, "Comparisons with Acceptance Guidelines." This qualitative external events assessment used the external event analyses in the LaSalle Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (RMIEP) study as a starting point. EGC submitted the results of the RMIEP study to the NRC in 1994 as the basis for the LaSalle Individual Plant Examination (IPE)/ Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) submittal. Each of the RMIEP external event evaluations were reviewed as part of the submittal and compared to the requirements of NUREG-1407, "Procedural and Submittal Guidance for the Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 11 of 19 Vulnerabilities," dated June 1991. The NRC transmitted a Safety Evaluation for the LaSalle IPE/IPEEE submittal in 1996. The qualitative external events assessment is described in Appendix A of  , and summarized below. Internal Fires The impact on the internal fires risk profile due to the proposed change was evaluated using the following information sources:  NUREG/CR-6850 , "EPRI Report 1011989, 'Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities'," September 2005  NUREG/CR-4832, Vol. 1, "Analysis of the LaSalle Unit 2 Nuclear Power Plant: Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (RMIEP)," July 1992  LS-PSA-021.06, "LaSalle Unit 2 FPRA Summary and Quantification Report," Rev. 0, December 2008  Boiling Water Reactor Owners' Group (BWROG), "Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07," October 16, 2007 (i.e., Appendix C of Attachments 4 and 5) The assessment concluded that fire hazards can be appropriately screened as non-significant contributors to the risk assessment of the proposed SLC CT because of the low frequency of a fire coupled with a failure to scram.
Seismic The impact on the seismic risk profile for LSCS, due to the proposed change was evaluated using the following information sources:  NUREG/CR-4832, Vol. 1, "Analysis of the LaSalle Unit 2 Nuclear Power Plant: Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (RMIEP)," July 1992  NUREG-1150, "Severe Accident Risks:  An Assessment for Five U.S. Nuclear Power Plants," December 1990 The assessment concluded that the seismic hazard can be appropriately screened as a non-significant contributor to the risk assessment of the proposed change.
Other External Hazards Other external event risks such as external floods, severe weather, high winds or tornados, transportation accidents, nearby facility accidents, turbine missiles, and other miscellaneous external hazards were also considered in the LSCS IPEEE analysis. The LSCS site characteristics and design meet all the applicable criteria of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," (SRP). No significant quantitative contribution from these external events was identified by the LSCS IPEEE evaluations. As such, other ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 12 of 19 external hazards are appropriately screened as non-significant contributors to the risk assessment of the proposed CT. Consistent with the ASME PRA Standard, quantitative parametric uncertainty analyses for both CDF and LERF were evaluated to determine if the point estimates calculated by the PRA model appropriately represent the means for the risk metrics that were evaluated. The results of these analyses are
 
summarized in Appendix B of Attachment 4. The parametric uncertainty analysis supports the use of the point estimate to represent the mean for the calculation of the changes in the risk metrics for the extended CT. An assessment of modeling uncertainties is also documented in Appendix B of  . This assessment includes LSCS-specific modeling uncertainty evaluations for the PRA Base Case and an examination of the specific cutsets that affect the change in the CDF risk metric associated with the change in the SLC CT extension. The results of the modeling uncertainty assessments do not change the conclusions of this risk assessment for the proposed SLC CT
 
changes. 4.4.3 Tier 2, Avoidance of Risk Significant Plant Configurations Tier 2 requires an examination of the need to impose additional restrictions when operating under the proposed CT in order to avoid risk-significant equipment outage configurations. Consistent with the guidance in Regulatory Position C.2.3 of RG 1.177, and as part of the LSCS risk assessment (i.e., Attachment 4), EGC performed an evaluation of equipment according to its contribution to plant risk while the equipment covered by the proposed CT change is out of service for test or maintenance (i.e., site-specific modeling uncertainty evaluations for the PRA base case and an examination of the specific cutsets that affect the change in the CDF risk metric associated with the change in the SLC CT extension). This evaluation is provided in Attachment 4, Appendix B, "Uncertainty Analysis," section B.2, "Model Uncertainties Associated with SLC System Out of Service."
This evaluation indicates that the scram system hardware failure is the most important contributor to the CDF assessment for the SLC system out-of-service case. Entry into the dual-train SLC CT will be assessed and managed in accordance with the EGC CRMP. The CRMP will assess the emergent condition, including the impact of any additional out-of-service equipment. With both SLC subsystems unavailable, the LSCS on-line risk would be depicted as "Orange," based on the deterministic assessment portion of the CRMP. In this condition, station procedures require senior m anagement review and approval to remove equipment from service, as well as implementation of compensatory measures to reduce risk, including contingency plans.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 13 of 19 4.4.4 Tier 3, Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management Tier 3 requires a proceduralized process to assess the risk associated with both planned and unplanned work activities. The objective of the third tier is to ensure that the risk impact of out-of-service equipment is evaluated prior to performing any maintenance activity. As stated in Section 2.3 of RG 1.177, "a viable program would be one that is able to uncover risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations in a timely manner during normal plant operation."  The third-tier requirement is an extension of the second-tier requirement, but addresses the limitation of not being able to identify all possible risk-significant plant configurations in the Tier 2 evaluation. EGC has developed and implemented a CRMP at LSCS. The CRMP is governed by station procedures that ensure the risk impact of out-of-service equipment is appropriately evaluated prior to performing any maintenance activity. These procedures require an integrated review to uncover risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations in a timely manner both during the work management process and for emergent conditions during normal plant operation. Appropriate consideration is given to equipment unavailability, operational activities like testing or load dispatching, and weather conditions.
LSCS currently has the capability to perform a configuration dependent assessment of the overall impact on risk of proposed plant configurations prior to, and during, the performance of maintenance activities that remove equipment from service. Risk is re-assessed if an equipment failure/malfunction or emergent condition produces a plant configuration that has not been previously assessed. For planned maintenance activities, an assessment of the overall risk of the activity on plant safety is currently performed prior to scheduled work. The assessment includes the following considerations. Maintenance activities that affect redundant and diverse structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that provide backup for the same function are
 
minimized. The potential for planned activities to cause a plant transient are reviewed, and work on SSCs that are important in mitigating the transient are avoided. Work is not scheduled that is highly likely to exceed a TS or Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Completion Time requiring a plant shutdown. For Maintenance Rule high risk significant SSCs, the impact of the planned activity on the unavailability performance criteria is evaluated. A quantitative risk assessment is performed for those SSCs modeled in the LSCS PRA model to ensure that the activity does not pose any unacceptable risk. This evaluation is performed using the impact on both CDF and LERF. The results of the risk assessment are classified by a color code based on the increased risk of the activity. As postu lated risk for the activity increases, appropriate actions are required and implemented. Emergent work is reviewed by shift operations to ensure that the work does not invalidate the assumptions ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 14 of 19 made during the work management process. EGC's PRA risk management procedure defines the requirements for ensuring that the PRA model used to evaluate on-line maintenance activities is an accurate model of the current plant design and operational characteristics. Plant modifications and procedure changes are monitored, assessed, and dispositioned. Evaluation of changes in plant configuration or PRA model features are dispositioned by implementing PRA model changes or by the qualitative assessment of the impact of the change on the PRA assessment tool. Changes that have potential risk impact are recorded in an update requirements evaluations (URE) log for consideration in the next periodic PRA model update. The reliability and availability of the SLC system, RPS, control rods, control rod drives, and the ARI system are monitor ed under the Maintenance Rule Program. If the pre-established reliability or availability performance criteria is exceeded for an instrumentation component, that component is considered for 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants," paragraph (a)(1) actions, requiring increased management attention and goal setting in order to restore performance (i.e., reliability and availability) to an acceptable level. The performance criteria are risk-informed, and therefore are a means to manage the overall risk profile of the plant. An accumulation of large core damage probabilities over time is precluded by the performance criteria. Evaluation of changes in plant configuration or PRA model features are dispositioned by implementing PRA model changes or by qualitatively assessing the impact of the changes on the CRMP assessment tool. Procedures exist for the control and application of CRMP assessment tools. 4.4.5 Technical Adequacy and Quality of PRA Model As stated in Section 1.0 above, RG 1.200, Revision 1 describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used as an input in regulatory decision-
 
making. With respect to the risk assessment for the proposed SLC CT extension, EGC has documented this determination of PRA quality in Attachment 4. Table 2-1 of  provides a "RG 1.200 Analysis Actions Roadmap."  This roadmap cross references the required RG 1.200 actions to the applicable sections in the attachment that address the actions, which are summarized below. EGC employs a multi-faceted approach to establishing and maintaining the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating EGC nuclear generation sites. This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. The EGC risk management process for maintaining and updating the PRA ensures that the PRA model remains an accurate reflection of the as-built and as-operated plants. This process is defined in the EGC Risk Management ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 15 of 19 program, which consists of a governing procedure (i.e., ER-AA-600, "Risk Management") and subordinate Technical & Reference Material (T&RM) documents. EGC T&RM ER-AA-600-1015, "FPIE PRA Model Update" delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the full power internal events PRA models at all operating EGC nuclear generation sites. The overall EGC Risk Management program , including ER-AA-600-1015, defines the process for implementing regularly scheduled and interim PRA model updates, for tracking issues identified as potentially affecting the PRA models (e.g., changes in the plant, errors or limitations identified in the model, industry operating experience), and for controlling the model and associated computer files. 5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration According to 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," paragraph (c), a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of an accident previously evaluated; (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) has evaluated the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2 using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 and has determined that the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration. EGC is providing the following information to support a finding of no significant hazards consideration. (1) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated? Response:  No. The proposed amendment revises Technical Specification (TS) 3.1.7, "Standby Liquid Control (SLC) System," to extend the completion time (CT) associated with Condition B (i.e., "Two SLC subsystems inoperable.") from eight hours to 72
 
hours. The proposed change is based on a risk-informed evaluation performed in accordance with Regulatory Guides (RG) 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions On Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," and RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decision-making: Technical Specifications."
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 16 of 19 The proposed amendment modifies an existing CT for a dual-train SLC system inoperability. The condition evaluated, the action requirements, and the associated CT do not impact any initiating conditions for any accident previously evaluated. The proposed amendment does not increase postulated frequencies or the analyzed consequences of an Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS).
Requirements associated with 10 CFR 50.62 will continue to be met. In addition, the proposed amendment does not increase postulated frequencies or the analyzed consequences of a large-break loss-of-coolant accident for which the SLC system will be used for pH control (i.e., upon NRC approval of an August 26, 2008 proposed LSCS license amendment regarding the adoption of an alternate source term methodology). The extended CT provides additional time to implement actions in response to a dual-train SLC system inoperability, while also minimizing the risk associated with continued operation. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. (2) Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated? Response:  No. The proposed amendment revises TS 3.1.7 to extend the CT associated with Condition B from eight hours to 72 hours. The proposed amendment does not involve any change to plant equipment or system design functions. This proposed TS amendment does not change the design function of the SLC system and does not affect the system's ability to perform its design function. The SLC system provides a method to bring the reactor, at any time in a fuel cycle, from full power and minimum control rod inventory to a subcritical condition with the reactor in the most reactive xenon free state without taking credit for control rod movement. Required actions and surveillance requirements are sufficient to ensure that the SLC system functions are maintained. No new accident initiators are introduced by this amendment. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated. (3) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety? Response:  No. The proposed amendment revises TS 3.1.7 to extend the CT associated with Condition B from eight hours to 72 hours. The proposed amendment does not involve any change to plant equipment or system design functions. The margin of safety is established through the design of the plant structures, systems, and components, the parameters within which the plant is operated, and the setpoints for the actuation of equipment relied upon to respond to an event.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 17 of 19 Safety margins applicable to the SLC system include pump capacity, boron concentration, boron enrichment, and system response timing. The proposed amendment does not modify these safety margins or the point at which SLC is manually initiated, nor does it affect the system's ability to perform its design function. In addition, the proposed change complies with the intent of the defense-in-depth philosophy and the principle that sufficient safety margins are maintained, consistent with RG 1.177 requirements (i.e., Section C, "Regulatory Position," paragraph 2.2, "Traditional Engineering Considerations"). Based on the above analysis, EGC concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified. 5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50.62, "Requirements for reduction of risk from anticipated transients without scram (ATWS) events for light-water-cooled nuclear power plants" 10 CFR 50.62 (c)(4) states that boiling water reactors are required to have a standby liquid control (SLC) system with the capability of injecting, into the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), a borated water solution with a flow rate, boron concentration, and boron-10 enrichment that would be necessary to ensure that the resulting reactivity control is at least equivalent to that resulting from injection of 86 gallons per minute of 13 weight percent sodium pentaborate decahydrate solution at the natural boron-10 isotope abundance into a 251-inch inside diameter reactor pressure vessel for a given core design. Furthermore, the SLC system and its injection location must be designed to perform its function in a reliable manner. The proposed change will not impact the ability of the LSCS SLC system to ensure compliance with these requirements.
10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term" 10 CFR 50.67.b(1) provided guidance to licensees with respect to revision of the licensee's current accident source term in design basis radiological consequence analyses. Specifically, the regulation states that in order to revise the accident source term, a licensee shall apply for a license amendment under 10 CFR 50.90 and that the application shall contain an evaluation of the consequences of applicable design basis accidents previously analyzed in the safety analysis report. By letter dated August 26, 2008, EGC requested an amendment to the LSCS TS regarding the adoption of an alternate source term (AST) methodology. The NRC is currently reviewing the proposed license amendment. As part of the proposed AST methodology, EGC will use the SLC system to inject sodium pentaborate into the RPV following a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in order to maintain suppression pool pH above 7 (i.e., in order to ensure against re-evolution of elemental iodine). As such, the SLC will be required to be operable in Mode 3 to ensure that offsite doses remain within the limits of 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term" following a LOCA involving significant fission product releases. Additional redundancy for the injection of boron into the reactor coolant system is established by the LSCS Emergency Operating ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 18 of 19 Procedures (EOPs). The EOPs describe the actions and criteria for manual addition of boron into the reactor coolant water cleanup system, should RPS, the control rods, the control rod drive system, and the SLC system be unable to perform the specifed design functions. Therefore, the proposed SLC CT extension will not impact the ability of LSCS to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67. 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," Criterion (GDC) 26, "Reactivity control system redundancy and capability" GDC 26 requires the provision of two independent reactivity control systems of different design principles. While one of the systems shall use control rods, the second reactivity control system shall be capable of reliably controlling the rate of reactivity changes resulting from planned, normal power changes (including xenon burnout) to assure acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded. The proposed change will not impact the ability of the LSCS SLC system to ensure compliance with this requirement. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis" RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decision-making:
Technical Specifications" RG 1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities," Revision 1 Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," specifies risk-informed acceptance guidelines for a permanent TS change. These acceptance guidelines are presented for two ranges of risk impacts, those described as "small changes" and those described as "very small changes."  The RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines prescribe that the risk metrics of delta () CDF and LERF be less than 1.0E-06/yr and 1.0E-07/yr, respectively, to establish a very small risk increase with no additional compensatory measures required. RG 1.174, paragraph 2.2.5.5, "Comparisons with Acceptance Guidelines," also specifies guidelines for consideration of external events, and stipulates that external events can be evaluated in either a qualitative or quantitative manner.
RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decision-making: Technical Specifications," identifies a three-tiered approach for the evaluation of the risk associated with a proposed TS change. RG 1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities," Revision 1 describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision-making for light-water reactors. The proposed change complies with the acceptance guidelines and requirements of RG 1.174, RG 1.177, and RG 1.200 to demonstrate a very small change in risk.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Amendment Page 19 of 19 Regulatory Summary  Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the NRC's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
 
==6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION==
EGC has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation."  However, the proposed amendment does not involve: (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22, "Criterion for categorical exclusion; identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion or otherwise not requiring environmental review,"
paragraph (c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

the volume and temperature of the borated solution in the
 
storage tank), thereby ensuring the SLC System OPERABILITY
 
without disturbing normal plant operation. These
 
Surveillances ensure the proper borated solution and
 
temperature, including the temperature (using the local
 
indicator) of the pump suction piping up to the storage tank
 
outlet valves, are maintained. Maintaining a minimum

REQUIREMENTS should be alternated such that both complete flow paths are
 
tested every 48 months, at alternating 24 month intervals.
 
The Surveillance may be performed in separate steps to
 
prevent injecting boron into the RPV. An acceptable method
 
for verifying flow from the pump to the RPV is to pump
 
demineralized water from a test tank through one SLC
 
subsystem and into the RPV. The 24 month Frequency is based
 
on the need to perform this Surveillance under the
 
conditions that apply during a plant outage and the
 
potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance
 
were performed with the reactor at power. Operating
 
experience has shown these components usually pass the
 
Surveillance test when performed at the 24 month Frequency;
 
therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from
 
a reliability standpoint.
 
Demonstrating that all heat traced piping in the flow path
 
between the boron solution storage tank and the storage tank
 
outlet valves to the injection pumps is unblocked ensures
 
that there is a functioning flow path for injecting the
 
sodium pentaborate solution. An acceptable method for
 
verifying that the suction piping up to the storage tank
 
outlet valves is unblocked is to verify flow from the
 
storage tank to the test tank. Upon completion of this
 
verification, the pump suction piping between the storage
 
tank outlet valve and pump suction must be drained and
 
flushed with demineralized water, since the piping is not
 
heat traced. The 24 month Frequency is acceptable since
 
there is a low probability that the subject piping will be
 
blocked due to precipitation of the boron from solution in
 
the heat traced piping. This is especially true in light of
 
the daily temperature verification of this piping required
 
by SR 3.1.7.3. However, if, in performing SR 3.1.7.3, it is
 
determined that the temperature of this piping has fallen
 
below the specified minimum, SR 3.1.7.9 must be performed
 
once within 24 hours after the piping temperature is
 
restored within the limits of Figure 3.1.7-2.

==1.0  INTRODUCTION==
 
===1.1 PURPOSE===
 
The purpose of this analysis is to assess the acceptability, from a risk perspective, of a change to the LaSalle Technical Specification (TS) for the Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system to increase the Completion Time (CT), sometimes called the allowed outage time (AOT), from 8 hours to 72 hours when both SLC subsystems (i.e., both trains) are inoperable. An extension will provide flexibility during power operation in the performance of corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and surveillance testing of SLC system components that would cause the system to be inoperable. Consistent with the NRC's approach to risk-informed regulation, Exelon Generating Company (EGC), has identified a particular TS requirement that is very restrictive in its nature and, if relaxed, has a minimal impact on the safety of the plant. The LaSalle analysis is consistent with similar analyses being conducted for all EGC Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) plants that currently have an 8 hour CT for the SLC system.   
 
===1.2 BACKGROUND===
 
====1.2.1 Technical====
 
Specification Changes Since the mid-1980s, the NRC has been reviewing and granting improvements to TS that are based, at least in part, on probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) insights. In its final policy statement on TS im provements of July 22, 1993, the NRC stated that it . . .
  . . . expects that licensees, in preparing their Technical S pecification related submittals, will utilize any plant-s pecific PSA or risk survey and any available literature on risk insights and PSAs. . . Similarl y, the NRC staff will also employ risk insights and PSAs in evaluating Technical Specifications related submittals. Further, as a part of the Commission's ongoing program of improving Technical Specifications, it will continue to consider methods to make better use of risk and reliability in formation for defining future generic Technical Specificat ion requirements.
The NRC reiterated this point when it issued the revision to 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical Specifications," in July 1995. In August 1995, the NRC adopted a final policy statement on the use of PRA methods in nuclear regulat ory activities that encouraged greater use of PRA to improve safety decision-making and regulatory efficiency. The PRA policy statement included t he following points:
: 1. The use of PRA technology shou ld be increased in all regulatory matters to the extent supported by t he state of the art in PRA methods and data and in a manner that comp lements the NRC's deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 3 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
: 2. PRA and associated analyses (e.g., sensitivity studies, uncertainty analyses, and importance measures) should be used in regulatory matters, where practical within the bounds of the state of the art, to reduce unnecessary conservatism a ssociated with current regulatory requirements. 3. PRA evaluations in support of r egulatory decisions should be as realistic as practicable and approp riate supporting data should be publicly available for review. 
 
The movement of the NRC to more risk-informed regulation has led to the NRC identifying Regulatory Guides and associated processes by which licensees can submit changes to the plant design basis including Technical Specifications. Regulatory Guides 1.174 [Ref. 2] and 1.177 [Ref. 3] bot h provide processes to incorporate PRA input for decision makers regarding a Technical Specification modification.
 
LaSalle, other EGC plants, and numerous other commercial nuclear plants in the industry have used these risk-informed gui delines to support both permanent and one-time CT extensions for EDGs, Emergen cy Service Water, and other systems. 
 
====1.2.2 Exelon====
SLC Experiences
 
In October 2006 (Quad Cities) and January 2007 (Dresden), EG C requested Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs) for SLC System Tank leaks allowing an additional 72 hours to the original 8-hour co mpletion time required for a dual-train inoperability. These NOEDs were approved by the NRC. An extended CT would preempt the need for such NOEDs.   
 
1.3 SLC TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
 
The proposed TS change involves extending the completion time for TS 3.1.7 Condition B from 8 hours (current TS) to 72 hours (pr oposed TS). Condition B is the situation where both SLC subsystems are inoperable. Technical Specification requirements for other SLC conditions will remain unchanged.
For LaSalle, the TS Condition B applies to Modes 1 and 2 for reactivity control. Consideration of TS applicability for Modes 1, 2, and 3 for pH control is not addressed in this report.   
 
===1.4 REGULATORY===
GUIDES
 
Three Regulatory Guides provide primary inputs to the evaluation of a Technical Specification change. Their relevance is discussed in this section.     
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 4 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
 
====1.4.1 Regulatory====
Guide 1.174
 
Regulatory Guide 1.174 [Ref. 2] specifie s an approach and acceptance guidelines for use of PRA in risk informed activities. RG 1.174 outlines PRA related acceptance guidelines for use of PRA metrics of Core Damage Frequency (CDF) and Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) for the evaluat ion of permanent TS changes. The guidelines given in RG 1.174 for determini ng what constitutes an acceptable permanent change specify that the CDF and the LERF associated with the change should be less than specified values, which are dependent on the baseli ne CDF and LERF, respectively. These specified values of CDF and LERF are given in RG 1.174 Figures 3 and 4, respectively. These values are presented for two ranges of risk impacts, those described as "small chang es" and those described as "very small changes". The acceptance guidelines for "very small changes" are utilized in this risk assessment. 
 
Based on the LS06C (i.e., LaSalle PRA mode l from the 2006 PRA up date, Revision C)  baseline internal events CDF of 4.0E-6/yr and LERF of 3.0E-7/yr for LaSalle, the RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines prescr ibed that the risk metrics of CDF and LERF be less than 1.0E-06/yr and 1.0E-07/yr, respectively, to establish a very small risk increase with no additional compensator y measures required. 
 
RG 1.174 also specifies guidelines for consider ation of external even ts. External events can be evaluated in either a qualitative or quantitative manner.
 
====1.4.2 Regulatory====
Guide 1.177
 
Regulatory Guide 1.174 [Ref. 2] specifie s an approach and acceptance guidelines for the evaluation of plant licensing basis chang es. RG 1.177 identifies a three-tiered approach for the evaluation of the risk asso ciated with a proposed TS change as identified below. Tier 1 is an evaluation of the pl ant-specific risk associated with the proposed TS change, as shown by the change in core damage frequency (CDF) and incremental conditional core damage probability (ICCDP).
Where applicable, contai nment performance s hould be evaluated on the basis of an analysis of large early release frequency (LERF) and incremental conditional large early release frequency (ICLERP). The acceptance guidelines given in RG 1.177 for determining an acceptable TS change is that the ICCDP and the ICLERP associated with the change should be less than 5E-07 and 5E-08, respectively. Tier 2 identifies and evaluates, with respect to defense-in-depth, any potential risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations associated with the proposed change. The licensee should provide reasonable assurance that risk-significant plant equipment outage configurations will LaSalle SLC CT Extension 5 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 not occur when equipment associated with the proposed TS change is out-of-service. Tier 3 provides for the establishm ent of an overall configuration risk management program (CRM P) and confirmation that its insights are incorporated into the decision-making process before taking equipment out-of-service prior to or during the CT. Compared with Tier 2, Tier 3 provides additional coverage based on any additional risk significant configurations that may be encount ered during maintenance scheduling over extended periods of plant operati on. Tier 3 guidance can be satisfied by the Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.
65(a)(4)), which requires a licensee to assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from activities such as surveillance, testing, and corrective and preventive maintenance.
 
This risk analysis supports the Tier 1 element of RG 1.177, specifically the acceptance guidelines for ICCDP and ICLERP for permanent changes associated with changing a Technical Specification Completion Time.
Other portions of the LAR submittal will address Tier 2 and Tier 3 elements. 
 
====1.4.3 Regulatory====
Guide 1.200, Revision 1
 
Regulatory Guide 1.200, Rev. 1 [Ref 1
], describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confiden ce in the results, su ch that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision-making for lig ht-water reactors. This guidance is intended to be consistent with the NRC's PRA Policy Statement and more detailed guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.174.
 
It is noted that RG 1.200 Rev. 1 endor ses Addendum B of t he ASME PRA Standard
[Ref. 5] applicable to full power internal even t (FPIE) PRA models. Since that time, the new ASME/ANS Combined PRA Standard [Ref.
26] has been released. Although the Combined Standard is presently issued and endor sed by RG 1.200 Revision 2 [Ref. 27], neither of these document revisions impact this analysis. 
 
====1.4.4 Acceptance====
Criteria
 
Based on the guidance provi ded in Regulatory Guides 1.174 and 1.177, the following quantitative PRA related acceptance criteria are utilized in this risk analysis:  CDF < 1.0E-06/yr  LERF < 1.0E-07/yr  ICCDP <  5.0E-07  ICLERP <  5.0E-08
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 6 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
 
===1.5 SCOPE===
 
This section addresses the requi rements of RG 1.200, Rev. 1 Section 3.2 which directs to licensee to define the treatment of the scope of risk contribut ors (i.e., intern al initiating events, external initiating events, and modes of power oper ation at the time of the initiator). Discussion of these risk contributors are as follows:
Full Power Internal Events (FPIE)
- The LaSalle LS06C PRA model used for this analysis includes a full range of internal initiating events (including internal flooding) for at-power configurations. The SLC system is credited in the PRA for criticality control.
The FPIE model is further discussed in Section 1.6. Low Power Operation - The FPIE assessment is judged to adequately capture risk contributors associated wit h low power plant operations. The FPIE analysis assumes that the plant is at full power at the time of any internal events transient, manual shutdown, or accident initiating event. 
 
This analytic approach results in conservative accident progression timings and systemic success criteria compared to what may otherwise be applicable to an initiator occurring at low power. As such, low power risk impacts are not discussed furthe r in this risk assessment. Shutdown / Refueling
- In consideration of s hutdown and refueling modes (i.e., Modes 3, 4, and 5), the SLC TS does not apply. As such, shutdown risk impacts are not discussed further in this risk assessment. Internal Fires - An interim fire PRA is ava ilable for LaSalle. The LaSalle Interim Fire PRA [Re
: f. 10], the LaSalle RMIEP study [Ref. 11], and a BWROG assessment [Ref. 19] are used to provide qualitative and semi-quantitative insights to the analysi s (refer to Se ction 3.4.1). Seismic - Consistent with most sites, LaS alle does not currently maintain a Seismic PRA. A qualitative assessment is performed in this analysis (refer to Section 3.2) based on insi ghts from the LaSalle RMIEP study
[Ref. 11] and other industry studies. Other External Events - Other external event risks were assessed in the LaSalle RMIEP study [Ref. 11] and LaSalle IPEEE and found to be insignificant risk contributor s (refer to Section 3.4.3).

===1.6 LASALLE===
PRA MODEL
 
This section addresses the r equirements of Section 3.1 of RG 1.200, Rev. 1 which directs the licensee to ident ify the portions of the PRA used in the analysis. 
 
The PRA analysis for the TS change uses the LaSalle Unit 2 LS06C full power internal events Level 1 Core Damage Frequency (CDF) model and the associated Level 2 Large
 
Early Release Frequency (LERF) model to calculate the risk metrics. 
 
This risk assessment applies to both LaSalle Un it 1 and LaSalle Unit 2. Both units are very similar and the risk impact of this TS change is minor such t hat use of the LS06C Unit 2 PRA model to reflect the risk impact of this TS on either unit is reasonable and acceptable. Unit 2 is considered the "base" model for the 2006C update. The Unit 1 model is created by converting the Unit 2 model. Table 1-1 shows the CDF and LERF risk metrics for both units.
 
Table 1-1 COMPARISON OF UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 RISK METRICS (FULL POWER INTERNAL EVENTS MODEL)
Risk Metric Unit 1 Unit 2 Percent Difference CDF 3.9724E-6 3.9846E-6  LERF 2.9694E-7 2.9694E-7 The CDF and LERF for both units are essentially identical. As such, the use of the LS06C Unit 2 PRA model to reflect the risk im pact of this TS change on either unit is reasonable and acceptable. 
 
This analysis is specific to the SLC S ystem and therefore the SLC system fault tree model is the only portion of the LS06C PRA model modified for this risk application. The LaSalle SLC system is a manually in itiated system with enr iched boron used to allow a single SLC pump to meet the 10 CFR 50.62 requirements for ATWS response. The PRA analysis involved identifying the system and components or maintenance activities modeled in the PRA which are most appropriate for use in setting both subsystems of SLC to be inoperable. As di scussed later in Section 3.1, the model parameter 2SYPM-SLA-SLBM--, "SBLC A AND SBLC B IN COINCIDENT MAINTENANCE", was selected as an appropria te parameter to adj ust to make the entire SLC system unavailable in the PRA (to reflect SLC inoperable and entry into TS 3.1.7, Condition B).
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 8 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 No other aspect of the LS06C PRA model required adjustment for this risk application.
The entire LS06C PRA model is quantified for this assessment using the "average maintenance" PRA model (i.e., no portions of the at-power internal events LS06C model were excluded or zeroed out of the quantification).

Section 3.1 LaSalle SLC CT Extension 10 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 3.0  TIER 1 RISK ANALYSIS
 
This section evaluates the plant-specific risk associated with the proposed TS change, based on the risk metrics of CDF, ICCDP, LERF, and ICLERP.
3.1  KEY ASSUMPTIONS
 
The following inputs and general assumptions ar e used estimating the plant risk due to the proposed SLC System CT extension. a. The SLC System CT is assumed to increase from its current duration of 8 hours to a proposed duration of 72 hours. b. The base analysis in this risk assessment assumes one entry per year into the proposed CT. The duration of t he proposed CT is assumed to be adequate for performing the majority of corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and surveillanc e testing on-line.
A historical analysis of unavailability data dati ng back to 2004 show s that the SLC system outages for the entire five year period were at most, 62.95 hours (for Unit 2, Train B). Average yearly unavailabilities for Unit 1, Trains A and B were 4.4 hours and 12.3 hours re spectively, and 6.3 hours and 12.6 hours for Unit 2, Trains A and B respectively. Thus, any impact from
 
extending the CT is assumed to be negligible, and it is conservatively assumed that the outage will not be entered more than once a year. Additionally, Configuration Risk Management at LaSalle is governed by the Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)). A sens itivity analysis of the FPIE risk associated with entering the CT was performed, and showed that the SLC system outage could be taken out of service for up to 295 hours before the very small risk increase metrics of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 are exceeded. This represents a significant margin compared to the proposed 72 hour CT. As stated above, the historical analysis of unavailability data shows that the SLC system does not exceed this ceiling value. 
: c. This risk assessment does not cred it the averted risk due to a forced shutdown that would be required due to exceeding the existing CT.
: d. The model manipulations were perfo rmed on the Unit 2 model. The results for Unit 1 are expected to generate essentially identical results.

===3.2 INTERNAL===
EVENTS The LaSalle 2006C PRA model 1 [Ref. 4] was examined to determine which PRA basic event to modify to reflect the unavailability of both SLC subsystems. The applicable basic event for the 2006C PRA model was identified as 2SYPM-SLA-SLBM--, "SBLC A AND SBLC B IN COINCIDENT MAINTENANCE.
"  This event is appropriate because it fails both SLC subsystems and no other equipment in the model.
 
Event 2SYPM-SLA-SLBM-- was set to a bi nary logic value of "TRUE" (using a quantification flag file) and t he entire LS06C model was r equantified using the same PRA software codes and revisions as used fo r the base LS06C model [Ref. 4]. These configuration specific CDF and LERF val ues are used in conjunction with the base LS06C values to calculate the risk impacts of the pr oposed TS change.
The calculations of CDF, ICCDP, LERF and ICLERP for the CT change are determined as shown below.
The CDF to be compared to the RG 1.174 a cceptance guidelines is given by (as defined by [Ref. 21]):
CDF = CDF NEW - CDF BASE  [Equation 3-1]
CDF is the difference between the annual av erage CDF with the CT extended and the CDF with the current CT. The CDF has units of "per reactor year."
In the above equation, CDF NEW is equal to:
CDF NEW = CTSLC-OOS
* CDFSLC-OOS  + [(1-CTSLC-OOS )
* CDF BASE] [Equation 3-2]
Where:
 
CDFSLC-OOS = the annual average CDF ca lculated with both SLC subsystems out of service (2SYPM-SLA-SLBM-- set to True) 
 
CDF BASE = baseline annual average CDF with average unavailability for all equipment. This is the CDF resu lt of the LS06C baseline PRA.
CT H OOS SLC= the new extended CT as an annual unavailability (i.e., 72 hours / 8760 hours/yr = 8.2E-03 yr)
 
CTSLC-OOS = the new extended CT as a probability (i.e., 72 hours / 8760 hours = 8.2E-03)
 
1  The LS06C baseline model used in the calculations contains the average maintenance associated with system trains.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 12 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
 
The ICCDP associated with the SLC System being out of service using the new CT is given by:
ICCDP (2) = (CDF SLC-OOS - CDFBASE) x CT H OOS SLC [Equation 3-3]
Risk significance relative to LERF and ICLERP(2) is determined using equations of the same form as noted above for CDF and ICCDP.
The relevant input parameter s for the base quantification of this risk analysis are summarized in Table 3.2-1. The corresponding base risk metric re sults for this risk analysis (based on quantification of the LS06C model and us e of the above equations) are provided in Table 3.2-2.

===3.3 RESULTS===
COMPARISON TO ACCEPTANCE GUIDELINES 
 
As can be seen from Table 3.2-2, the base results of the ri sk assessment indicate that the CDF, ICCDP, LERF, and ICLERP risk metric values are below the acceptance guidelines as defined in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177.
In addition quantitative sensitivity cases for model uncertainties ar e provided in Appendix B. 
 
This analysis demonstrates that the proposed TS change satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, and therefore meets the intent of very small risk increases consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
 
A sensitivity analysis was performed to det ermine the maximum allowable CT before exceeding the acceptance cr iteria for very small risk increases. For this sensitivity, ICCDP and ICLERP were set to their maximum allowable values in RG 1.177, and the CT NEW allowable was calculated. ICLE RP was determined to be the bounding parameter, and a CTNEW of 295 hours was calculated.
This represents a significant margin compared to the proposed 72 hour CT.

===3.4 EXTERNAL===
EVENTS
 
A qualitative assessment of external event risks is provided. Further details are found in Appendix A.
 
====3.4.1 Internal====
Fires
 
The impact on the internal fires risk profile due to the proposed CT is evaluated using
 
the following information sources:  LaSalle RMIEP study [Ref. 11]  NUREG/CR-6850 [Ref. 18]  LaSalle Interim FPRA [Ref. 10]  BWROG Assessment of Fire-Induc ed Failure to Scram [Ref. 19]
 
The internal fires risk impact assessment is discussed in Appendix A.4. The assessment concluded that fire hazar ds can be appropriately screened as non-significant contributors to the risk assessm ent of the proposed CT because of the low frequency of a fire coupled wi th a failure to scram.
 
====3.4.2 Seismic====
 
ECG does not currently maintain a seismic PRA for LaSalle. The impact on the seismic risk profile due to the proposed CT is evalua ted using the following information source s:  LaSalle RMIEP study [Ref. 11]  NUREG-1150 [Ref. 23]
The seismic risk impact assessment is discussed in Appendix A.3. The assessment concluded that seismic risk can be appropriately screened as a non-significant contributor to the risk assessment of the proposed CT.
 
====3.4.3 Other====
External Hazards
 
Other external event risks such as external floods, severe weather, high winds or tornados, transportation accidents, nearby facility accidents, turbine missiles, and other miscellaneous external hazards were also considered in the IPEEE analysis. The LaSalle site characteristics and design m eet all the applicable criteria of the NRC Standard Review Plan (SRP).
No significant quantitativ e contribution from these external events was identified by IPEEE evaluations (refer to Appendix A.2). 
 
As such, other external hazards are appropriately screened as non-significant contributors to the risk assessment of the proposed CT.

===3.5 UNCERTAINTY===
ASSESSMENT
 
====3.5.1 Parametric====
Uncertainty Consistent with the ASME PRA Standard, quantitative param etric uncertainty analyses for both CDF and LERF are evaluated to determi ne if the point estimates calculated by the PRA model appropriately represent the mean. The results of these analyses are summarized in Appendix B.2.
 
The parametric uncertainty analysis shown in Appendix B.2 supports the use of the point estimate to represent the mean for the calculation of t he changes in the risk metrics for the extended CT. 
 
====3.5.2 Modeling====
Uncertainty
 
An assessment of modeling uncertainty is documented in Sections B.1 and B.2. The results of these modeling uncertainty assessments judged not to change the conclusions of this risk assessment for t he proposed SLC CT change as they do not directly impact the SLC system or ATWS scenarios.
 
Section B.1 provides the LaSalle specif ic modeling uncertainty evaluations for the Base Case.
Section B.2 provides an ex amination of the specific cutsets that affect the change in the CDF risk metric associated with the change in the SLC CT.
 
The results of these modeling uncertainty assessments do not change the conclusions of this risk assessment for the proposed SLC CT change.
3.6 RISK
 
==SUMMARY==
 
As discussed above and as summarized in Tabl e 3.6-1, the FPIE quantitative evaluation results are well below the risk acceptanc e guidelines of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177.
External events evaluations are discussed in Appendix A and do not change the results or conclusions of this risk assessment. As such, this risk evaluation demonstrates that the proposed TS change can be made with a very small risk increase.

===4.0 TECHNICAL===
ADEQUACY OF PRA MODEL The 2006C update to the LaSalle Unit 2 PR A model (LS06C) is the most recent evaluation of the risk profile at LaSalle for FPIE challenges. The LaSalle PRA modeling is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common cause events. The PRA model quantification process
 
used for the LaSalle PRA is based on the ev ent tree / fault tree me thodology, which is a well-known methodology in the industry.
 
EGC employs a multi-faceted approach to es tablishing and maintain ing the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating EGC nuclear generation sites. This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. The following information describes this approach as it applies to the LaSalle PRA.
 
4.1 PRA QUALITY OVERVIEW
 
The quality of the LaSalle FPIE PRA is impo rtant in making risk-informed decisions.
The importance of the PRA quality derives from NRC Policy Statements as implemented by RGs 1.174 and 1.177, rule ma king and oversight processes. These can be briefly summarized as follows usi ng the words of the NRC Policy Statement (1995):
: 1. "The use of PRA technology shou ld be increased in all regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art-and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy."
: 2. "PRA-should be used in regulatory matters-to reduce unnecessary conservatism-"
: 3. "PRA evaluations in support of regulatory decisions should be-realistic-and appropriate supporting data should be publicly available for reviews."
: 4. "The Commission's safety goals-and subsidiary numerical objectives are to be used with appropriate cons ideration of uncertainties in making regulatory judgments-"
: 5. "Implementation of the [PRA] policy statement will improve the regulatory process in three ways:
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 18 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Foremost, through safety decisio n making enhanced by the use of PRA insights; Through more efficient use of agency resources; and Through a reduction in unnecessary burdens on licensees."
 
PRA quality is an essential aspect of risk-informed regulatory decision making. In this context, PRA quality can be interpreted to have five essential elements:  Scope (Section 4.2):
The scope (i.e., completene ss) of the FPIE PRA. The scope is interpreted to address the following aspects:  Challenges to plant oper ation (Initiating Events):  Internal Events (including Internal Floods)  External Hazards  Fires  Plant Operational states:  Full Power  Low Power  Shutdown  The metrics used in the quantification:  Level 1 PRA - CDF  Level 2 PRA - LERF  Level 3 PRA - Health Effects  Fidelity (Section 4.3):
The fidelity of the PRA to the as-built, as-operated plant. Standards (Section 4.4):
ASME PRA Standard [Ref. 5] as endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.200 [Ref. 1]. Peer Review (Section 4.5):
An independent PRA peer review provides a method to examine the PRA process by a group of expert
: s. In some cases, a PRA self-assessment us ing the availabl e PRA Standards endorsed by the NRC can be used to replace or supplement this peer
 
review. Appropriate Quality (Section 4.6):
The quality of the PRA needs to be commensurate with its applic ation. In other word s, the needed quality is defined by the applicat ion requirements.
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 19 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
 
===4.2 SCOPE===
 
The LaSalle PRA is a full power, internal events (FPIE) PRA that addresses both CDF and Large LERF. The quantitative insights from the FPIE PRA are directly applicable to the SLC CT Extension PRA application. Th is scope is judged to be adequate to support the SLC CT PRA application.
 
Because not all PRA standards are available to define the appropriate elements of PRA quality for all applications, the NRC has adopted a phased implementation approach.
This phased approach uses available PRA tools and their quantitat ive results where standards are available and endorsed by the NRC. Where standards are not yet available or endorsed, this approach uses qualitative insights or bounding approaches as needed.
 
The quality assessment performed in this se ction confirms the adequacy of the FPIE PRA. This assessment does not address the risk implications associated with low power or shutdown operat ion or with external events (including fire).
 
===4.3 FIDELITY===
PRA MAINTENANCE AND UPDATE
 
The EGC risk management process for mainta ining and updating the PRA ensures that the PRA model remains an accurate reflection of the as-built and as-operated plants.
This process is defined in the EGC Risk Management program, which consists of a governing procedure (ER-AA-600, " Risk Management") and subordinate implementation procedures. EGC proc edure ER-AA-600-1015, "FPIE PRA Model Update" delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the full power internal events PRA models at all operating EGC nuclear generation sites. The overall EGC Risk Management program, including ER-AA-600-1015, defines the process for implementing regularly scheduled and interi m PRA model updates, for tracking issues identified as potentially affe cting the PRA models (e.g., due to changes in the plant, errors or limitations identified in the model, industry operating experience), and for controlling the model and associated computer files. To ensure t hat the current PRA model remains an accurate reflection of t he as-built, as-operated plants, the following activities are routinely performed:  Design changes and procedure changes are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model. New engineering calculations and revi sions to existing calculations are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model. Maintenance unavailabilities are captured, and their impact on CDF is trended. Plant specific initiating event freq uencies, failure rates, and maintenance unavailabilities are updated approxim ately every four years.
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 20 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 In addition to these activities, EGC risk management procedures provide the guidance for particular risk management and PRA quality and maintenance activities. This guidance includes:  Documentation of the PRA model , PRA products, and bases documents. The approach for controlling electronic storage of Risk Management (RM) products including PRA update info rmation, PRA models, and PRA applications. Guidelines for updating the full pow er, internal events PRA models for EGC nuclear generation sites. Guidance for use of quantitative and qualitative risk models in support of the On-Line Work Control Process Program for risk evaluations for maintenance tasks (corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, minor maintenance, surveillance test s and modifications) on systems, structures, and component s (SSCs) within the sc ope of the Maintenance Rule (10CFR50.65 (a)(4)).
 
In accordance with this guidance, regularly scheduled PRA model updates nominally occur on a four year cycle; shorter interv als may be required if plant changes, procedure enhancements, or model changes result in significant risk metric changes. 
 
===4.4 STANDARDS===
 
The ASME PRA Standard [Ref.
5] provides the basis for assessing the adequacy of the LaSalle PRA as endorsed by the NRC in RG 1.
200, Rev 1 [Ref. 1]. The predecessor to the ASME PRA Standard was NEI 00-02 which identified the critical internal events PRA elements and their attributes necessary for a quality PRA.
 
4.5 PEER REVIEW AND PRA SELF-ASSESSMENT 
 
There are three principal ways of incorporating the necessa ry quality into the PRA in addition to the maintenance and update pr ocess. These are the following:
A thorough and detailed investig ation of open issues and the implementation of their resolution in the PRA. Table 4-1 includes the continuing investigations by EGC of plant modifications and changes that could influence the risk spectrum. A PRA Peer Review to allow i ndependent reviewers from outside to examine the model and documentati on. The ASME PRA Standard [Ref.
5] specifies that a PRA Peer Review be performed on the PRA. The use of the ASME PRA Standard to define the criteria to be used in establishing the quality of individual PRA elements.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 21 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Several assessments of technical capabili ty have been made and continue to be planned for the LaSalle PRA model. A chr onological list of th e assessments performed includes the following:  An independent PRA peer review was conducted under the auspices of the BWR Owners' Group in July 2000, following the Industry PRA Peer Review process. [Ref. 6]  This peer review included an assessment of the PRA model maintenance and update process. During 2005 and 2006, the LaSalle PRA model results were evaluated in the BWR Owners' Group PRA cross-comparisons study performed in support of implementation of the mi tigating systems performance indicator (MSPI) process. No significant iss ues resulted from this comparison. A summary of the disposition of the BWROG PRA Peer Review facts and observations (F&Os) for the LaSalle PRA model was documented as part of the statement of PRA capability for MSPI in the LaSalle MSPI Basis Document [Ref. 7]. As noted in that document, there were no significance level A F&Os from the 2000 peer review, and all significance level B F&Os were addressed and closed out with t he completion of the current model of record in 2006. In 2006, a self-assessment analysis was performed using Addenda B of the ASME PRA Standard [Ref. 5] and RG 1.200, Rev. 1 [Ref. 1] in preparation of the LaSalle 2006 periodic update of the PRA. [Ref. 28]. A PRA Peer Review [Ref. 8] of the LaSalle PRA was performed during April 2008 against ASME RA-Sb-2005.
The results of the PRA Peer Review indicated that only a small number of the supporting requirements (SRs) were "Not Met", 20 of a total of 313. This included 8 related to uncertainty SRs that have since been resolved by implementation of a response based on NUREG-1855. The SRs identified from the peer review as not meeting C apability Category II are summarized in Table 4-2 along with an assessment of the impact for this application.   
 
4.5.1 PRA Peer Review Overview
 
As noted above, the LaSalle PRA has been subjected to two separate PRA Peer Reviews (2000 and 2008). The results of th ese peer reviews have been fed back into the PRA model and documentati on. Open items from the revi ews that could affect the SLC CT are summarized in Table 4-2 (Supporting Requirements) and Table 4-3 (Findings).
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 22 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 4.5.2 Self-Assessment Overview
 
A Self-Assessment (Gap Analys is) of the LaSalle PRA model was completed in 2006.
This "gap analysis" was performed using t he ASME PRA Standard (ASME RA-Sb-2005)
[Ref. 5] and RG 1.200, Rev.
1 [Ref. 1]. This self-asse ssment was performed to support planning of the LaSalle 2006 periodic update of the PRA. Potential gaps to Capability Category II of the ASME PRA Standard were identified. PRA updating requirements evaluation (URE) entries were logged into the EGC model update tracking database to track the gaps for resolutions. All identified gaps were addressed in the 2006 PRA update except for two minor item s maintained for future c onsideration (one item is a documentation enhancement to the PRA System Notebooks and the other item is a suggested enhancement to the DW pneumatics fault tree logic).
 
PRA input can be used in applications despite t he fact that the PRA does not meet all of ASME PRA Standard Supporting Requirements. This is well recognized by the NRC and is explicitly stated in the ASME PRA Standard and RG 1.174. RG 1.174 states the following in Section 2.2.6:
 
There are, however, some applications that, becaus e of the nat ure of the proposed change, have a limited impact on risk, and this is reflected in the impact on the elements of the risk model.
 
The proposed SLC CT Extension PRA application may not require more than Capability Category I for some SRs. It is also a cknowledged that for PRAs with SRs ranked as "Not Met," the PRA may be used for PRA ap plications but may require additional justification and support to allow their use. Finally, it is judged that no PRA has Capability Category III for all of its SRs, nor is this currently expected as part of the NRC PRA Quality Program.
 
===4.6 APPROPRIATE===
PRA QUALITY
 
The PRA is used within its limitations to augm ent the deterministic criteria for plant operation. This is confirmed by the PRA Peer Review and the PRA Self-Assessment.
As indicated previously, RG 1.200 also requir es that additional in formation be provided as part of the License Amendment Reques t (LAR) submittal to demonstrate the technical adequacy of the PRA model used fo r the risk assessment. Each of these items (plant changes not yet incorporated in to the PRA model, consistency with applicable PRA Standards, relev ant peer review findings, and the identification of key assumptions) is discussed below. 
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 23 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009
 
====4.6.1 Plant====
Changes Not Yet In corporated into the PRA Model A PRA updating requirements ev aluation (URE) is EGC's PRA model update tracking database). These UREs are created for all iss ues that are identifie d with a potential to impact the PRA model. The URE database incl udes the identification of those plant changes that could impact the PRA model. A review of the current open items in the URE database associated with pl ant changes for LaSalle as well as items related to SLC or ATWS modeling is summarized in Table 4-1 along with an assessment of the impact for this application.
 
The results of the assessment documented in Table 4-1 show that none of the plant changes have any measurable impact on the SLC CT extension request.
 
====4.6.2 Consistency====
with Applicable PRA Standards This subsection addresses the following:
PRA Peer Review Supporting Requirements not meeting Capability Category II.
PRA Peer Review Findings
 
As indicated above, a formal PRA peer re view using the ASME PRA Standard (ASME RA-Sb-2005) was performed in April 2008 and the final peer review report issued in July 2008 [Ref. 8]. The SRs identif ied from the peer review as not meeting Capability Category II are summarized in Table 4-2 along with an assessment of the impact for this application.
 
The self-assessment provides the connec tion between the PR A and the ASME PRA Standard by also considering the PRA Peer Review comments. 
 
The results of the 2008 LaSalle PRA Peer Revi ew are also used to identify the relevant peer review findings regarding the PRA mode l that would influence the assessment of the risk metrics for the SLC CT extension application. The Findi ngs from the 2008 peer review are summarized in Table 4-3 along with an assessment of the impact for this application. 
 
In summary, none of the plant changes, the open SRs indentified from the peer review, or the 2008 Peer Review findings have a measurable impact on the SLC CT extension request.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 24 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2008-0001 LOA-FP-101/201, Revision 8, was revised and now includes an Attachment C. Attachment C contains a listing of all manual operator actions t hat are credited during fire scenarios. This list of manual operator actions contains insightful information regarding use of ECCS system based on a spatial relationship, rather than a "divisional" relationship. These actions should be reviewed during the next internal events PRA update and definitely during the fire PRA update for enhancements to the HRA. No immediate action required. Impact on internal events PRA likely non-significant.
These actions are all fire related and do not affect the FPIE
 
model. These actions are related to ECCS credit, and have a non-significant impact on ATWS scenarios. Further discussion of fire-induced ATWS and random scram coupled with a fire challenge are discussed in
 
Appendix A. LS2008-0002 During review of Revision 7 of LOA-RP-101/201 it was noted that the automatic scram based on the OPRMs is now enabled. This does not impact the PRA model because modeling of RPS is generic in nature.
However, the RPS System Notebook should be updated to reflect this change. This is only a documentation issue. Documentation issue. No Impact LaSalle SLC CT Extension 25 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2008-0003 LPGP-PSTG-01S14, Plant Specific Technical Guidelines - Section 14 LGA Related Hard Cards, Revision 2, add several new hard cards including:
Anticipate ADS  Inhibit ADS and ECCS Prevent Injection  Override ECCS not needed for RPV Injection  Trip Recirc Pumps  Verify DG and ECCS Starts  Open SRVs to Control Reactor Pressure Additionally, the hard card for Preventing ECCS injection now permits closing the RHR injection valves rather than just putting the RHR pumps in Pull to Lock. This will allow suppression pool cooling to operate, while in an ATWS condition. These changes should be reviewed for impact on the HRA. A typical aspect of PRA updates to consider new procedural changes; these have no obvious significant impact on the risk profile. These hard cards would have a non-significant impact on associated HEPs in the model. Some
 
of the HEPs are driven by short time window diagnosis error (not execution errors); other HEPs are simple execution actions which these hard cards would not significantly impact the overall HEP. No Impact LS2008-0004 There are new steps for securing large turbine building floods in Revision 19 of LOA-FLD-001. Additionally, there are new steps for securing the reactor building ventilation (VR) check dampers that may cause them to be more leak tight and potentially credit them in the PRA model again. No significant impact on risk profile. The VR check dampers are not flood barriers and physically cannot stop flood progression.
Physically securing closed the VR check dampers may slow flood progression between the RB and TB but will not stop flood propagation. No Impact LaSalle SLC CT Extension 26 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2008-0005 There are new steps (i.e. operator actions) for using the fire protection hose system to mitigate a release of fission products in Revision 2 of LOA-FP-001. This is a commitment to B.5.b. This should be reviewed further to determine what credit, if any, could be taken in the PRA for these new actions. No significant impact on LERF sequences.
Minimal (if any) operator action credit for such an action would be taken in the
 
PRA given the hazardous environment. No Impact LS2009-0001 It noted during the review of this procedure change, that the steps have been re-ordered to focus on RPV level/pressure control. This likely has a small impact on the PRA. However, this procedure revision paperwork also contains walkdown implementation and timing notes that may be useful for the next PRA update or Fire PRA development. Changes in timing notes could affect HEP values associated with RPV level and pressure control RPV level and pressure control HEPs are minor contributors to the ATWS scenarios affected by this application. Minimal
 
impact. LS2009-0007 During the 2nd quarter 2009 procedure review, it was identified that LOA-EH-101/201 has been revised. This revision includes new instructions for coping with a stuck open turbine bypass valve. Additionally, the setpoint for the MSIV closure signal based on main steam line low pressure has been revised from 866 psig to 854 psig. This new setpoint needs to be updated in the MS-MC PRA system notebook, Table
 
2-3. Changes in procedures may change HRA values associated with TBVs. TBV HEPs are not  contributors to this application. No impact.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 27 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2009-0008 During the 2nd quarter 2009 procedure review, it was identified that LOP-SA-01, Revision 12 may include changes that could impact the PRA. Specifically, this procedure change incorporates three ECs (344407, 344408, and 344409). These ECs changed the power supply for the control power. This will impact the documentation in the PRA system notebook. Additionally, during the next PRA update, the system operation and dependencies should re-reviewed for possible impact to the model. Minor changes anticipated to Modeling of Station Air Compressors.
Failure of the station air compressor as a support system would not impact the ATWS scenarios affected by this application. Impacts on the initiating event frequency may increase overall CDF and LERF, but would not impact the risk insights already determined by this analysis. LS2009-0009 During the 1st quarter 2009 procedure review, it was noted that the minimum steam cooling reactor water level (MSCRWL) has changed from -185 to -183 due to the use of ATRIUM fuel in this fuel cycle. LGA-001 and LGA-010 have been revised to reflect this change. Timings derived from MAAP calculations would not significantly change based on this correction. HRA values will likely remain unchanged. HEPs are not modified by this change. No impact. LS2009-0010 The RMCS modification is a major change to the rod control system and how rod movements are controlled and monitored. Although this modification does not directly impact the PRA, the impact to operator actions and reactivity control during ATWS should be reviewed at the next periodic update.
Potentially alters HEPs associated with ATWS scenarios. RMCS is not a factor in assessing the ATWS failure contributors.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 28 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2009-0014 In reviewing operator actions and associated documentation, it was discovered that basic event 2MSOP-AT-LVL-H-- needs clarification. HRA NB, section 3.33 states that 2MSOP-AT-LVL-H-- is the probability that level is required to be lowered to below the level 1 setpoint during an ATWS. If this is the case, this is not really an operator action. However, per discussions with Vince Andersen, this is the success (not failure) that the operator lowers level below level 1. If this were true I would expect the probability to be (1-failure probability) or 0.885.
Likely only a documentation issue. However, modeling should also be reviewed. This guaranteed failure appears in many high value cutsets associated with this application. This modeled event is appropriately included in the
 
model. A lower HEP would decrease the associated risk metrics, making this analysis conservative in nature. LS2009-0021 Per drawings 1E-2-4000LD and 1E-2-4000LJ, the power supplies for the SBLC squib injection valves (2C41-F004A and 2C41-F004B) are 235X-1 and 236X-2, respectively; not 235Y-1 and 236Y-2 as modeled under gates SLC-EOV-A and SLC-EOV-B. This was also verified by the data in Passport.
This modeling issue addresses very
 
specific dependencies. Given the symmetries in the model, CDF and LERF will likely not change numerically, but the cutsets associated with this
 
issue will be changed. SLC is already assumed out of service for this application. Any increased dependencies associated with SLC would not impact the risk metrics evaluated. LS2009-0024 During development of the Summer 2009 revision to the LS MSPI Bases document to revise the MSPI EDG mission time to 6 hrs it was discovered that the EDG fuel oil transfer pumps are not explicitly modeled in the PRA fault tree logic. Based on review of the fuel oil pump importance in the Clinton PRA, it is estimated here that the impact to the LS CDF would be an increase of approximately 5%. Fuel oil pumps have no impact on ATWS scenarios such as those examined for this application.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 29 C467090020-8750-5/8/2009 Table 4-1 IMPACT OF PLANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LASALLE PRA MODEL URE Number Plant change Impact on the LS PRA Impact on the Application LS2009-0028 Revisions 14 and 12 were issued to LOA-DC-101 and LOA-DC-201 respectively. These revisions involve revising the instructions for a loss of DC Bus 111Y/211Y to ensure that the CW system and main condenser remain available as a heat sink in response to the transient. Any changes to the model would be expected to be a very small decrease in CDF. Loss of DC scenarios are negligible contributors to this application. LS2009-0029 Revisions 17 and 19 to LOA-FX-101 and LOA-FX-201 respectively could potentially impact the LaSalle Fire PRA. The procedure changes revise operator actions in response to a fire in the control room or AEER. Review for impact on the HRA. Changes to the PRA are expected to be
 
minimal. However, there may be some efficiencies in the operator actions. Fire scenarios are negligible contributors to the application. See Appendix A. LS2009-0030 Revisions 12 and 10 to LOA-RH-101 and LOA-RH-201 respectively could potentially impact the LaSalle PRA. These procedure revision involve changes to instructions for SDC and recovering from a loss of SDC. Minor impact on SDC modeling. ATWS scenarios are not impacted by loss of SDC. LS2009-0032 C353390 will add an auto-start feature to the Service Water System. The modification will add a new selector switch to the control room control board, which will allow the operators to choose which service water pump they want to auto-start in the event no service water pumps are running (i.e., standby pump). If a pump is in standby and an event occurs that trips all the running pumps AND an undervoltage condition does not exist, the pump in standby will automatically start. This modification also adds a pull to lock position to the service water pump control switches. This new modification will potentially decrease the initiating event frequency of the loss of service water event. This modification will also impact operator actions taken due to a service water flooding scenario (i.e., tripping all service water pumps). However, the overall impact on CDF and LERF due to this modification is expected to be small. Loss of Service Water and Service Water floods are negligible contributors to ATWS scenarios.

These should be consistent as either the FTR common cause failure (CCF) mode is applicable in both versions of the fault tree or in neither version of the fault tree. Part of the reason for excluding the FTR CCF events may be related to calculating IE frequencies not consistent with operating experience. This is an indication that the FTR data used in the assessment may be too conservative. More recent generic data (e.g. from NUREG/CR-6928) for closed cooling water systems such as reactor building closed cooling water (RBCCW) and turbine building closed cooling water (TBCCW) is about an order of magnitude lower than that used in the current LaSalle analysis. Non-significant impact on ATWS sequences or SLC System IE-D3-01 The Summary Notebook includes information that attempts to identify the key sources of uncertainty in the initiating event analysis. However, with the changes to eliminate "key" from the supporting requirement (SR) definition, this SR cannot be considered met. Refer to impact discussion in Table 4-2 for SR QU-E4. AS-A9-01 The use of MAAP to develop short-term timing for HRA calculations in ATWS sequences is not judged appropriate by the review team. The timing should be based on a more realistic analysis. If it is decided to continue to use MAAP for ATWS, explain your rationale for doing so and discuss any limitations of the analysis. Minimal Impact. Decreased timings for HRA would result in higher HEPs for Short Term SLC. The effects of such changes are already evaluated in Sensitivity Cases performed for the PRA
 
Update. Additionally, SLC is being taken out of service for this application. HRA failures would result in cutsets that would be compressed out of the quantification.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 37 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Table 4-3 IMPACT OF OPEN SIGNIFICANT PRA PEER REVIEW FINDINGS  FOR THE LASALLE PRA MODEL "Finding" F&O Issue Description Impact on the Application AS-B2-01 The modeling of Station Blackout assumes that, following recovery of offsite power, sufficient mitigating systems will be available to prevent core damage. The availability of mitigating systems should be explicitly considered in the event tree modeling. Non-significant impact. The change in the base CDF resulting from such modeling refinement would be <1%. SC-A6-02 The success criteria notebook discusses ATWS ASME Service Level C pressure requirements based on NEDE 24222. This does not account for safety relief valve (SRV) changes made at the plant. The correct evaluation for the current LaSalle configuration is documented in GE-NE-A1300384-25-01, Rev 1, which requires a greater number of operable SRVs than is currently modeled in the PRA.
Primarily a documentation issue. Non-significant impact on PRA results. HR-A1-01 This requirement is probably met during the review to determine the pre-initiator HEPs, however, there is no list or documentation showing the procedures.
Similarly for HR-A2, the documentation does not provide evidence of the procedures reviewed. It just says procedures were reviewed. Documentation issue. No impact. HR-B1-01 There does not appear to be any screening list or discussion except for dependency. The identification process is described in the HRA notebook section 2.3.2 and information located in the system notebooks (general response from utility). This requirement is not met as per the Capability category II requirements of the ASME Standard. Documentation issue. No impact. DA-C1-01 Plant specific data is used to calculate unavailability for most plant systems/components in LS-PSA-010, although generic data is used for the diesel generator ventilation (VD) and emergency core cooling system ventilation (VY) systems, which is not permitted per this SR. Non-significant impact. Unavailabilities in the LaSalle PRA are based on plant-specific data except in the case of two ventilation system fan trains (that are based on engineering judgment).
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 38 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Table 4-3 IMPACT OF OPEN SIGNIFICANT PRA PEER REVIEW FINDINGS  FOR THE LASALLE PRA MODEL "Finding" F&O Issue Description Impact on the Application DA-C8-01 Basic events used to model the standby status of various plant systems use a mixture of plant-specific operational data and engineering judgment. For the Plant Service Water system and several other systems, standby estimates have been determined from procedures and operating data (see Appendix G
 
of LS-PSA-010). For other components, assumptions are used (e.g., 50% probability of either of two pumps in a system is in standby). So, overall the LaSalle has some Category II attributes and some Category I attributes. Refer to impact discussion in Table 4-2.QU-C1-01 Section 5.3 of t he LS-PSA-004 note book discusses the HEP dependency analysis. The model was quantified using 0.1 values for all HEPs to identify dependent HEP combinations. Recovery rules were then developed for each of these combinations.
However, for the base model quantification, not all of the events identified in the above process are set to 0.1 prior to application of the recovery rules. (Table 5.2-1 lists the events set to screening values, some of which are 0.01 and 0.005.) As a result it is possible that some of the dependent HEP combinations are truncated out of the master cutset list prior to recovery. Non-significant impact on ATWS sequences or SLC System QU-E4-01 The changes to this SR as identified by the NRC via a Federal Register Notice in July of 2007 indicate that for all sources of uncertainty identified in QU-E1 and QU-E2, respectively, IDENTIFY how the PRA model is affected. Refer to impact discussion in Table 4-2.QU-F4-01 Documentation for the characterization of the sources of model uncertainty and related assumptions (as identified in QU-E4) was not provided since the most recent requirements for QU-E4 were not met. Refer to impact discussion in Table 4-2.LE-F3-01 This requirement is not met since the SR is tied back to items identified in QU-E2 and QU-E4. Since QU-E2 and QU-E4 are not met yet, this SR is also not met. Refer to impact discussion in Table 4-2.
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 39 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 4.7 GENERAL CONCLUSION REGARDING PRA CAPABILITY
 
The LaSalle PRA maintenance and update processes and technical capability evaluations provide a robust basis for concluding that the PRA is suitable for use in risk-informed licensing actions, specifically in su pport of the requested extended CT for the SLC system.
 
Previously identified gaps to specific r equirements in the ASME PRA Standard have been reviewed to determine which gaps might merit application-specific sensitivity studies in the presentation of the applicatio n results. No gaps were identified as needing specific sensitivity studies for this SLC CT extension request.

==SUMMARY==
AND CONCLUSIONS 
 
===5.1 SCOPE===
INVESTIGATED
 
This analysis evaluates the acceptability, fr om a risk perspective, of a change to the LaSalle TS for the SLC system to increase the CT from 8 hours to 72 hours when both SLC subsystems (i.e., both trains) are inoperable. 
 
The analysis examines a range of risk contributors as follows:
The LaSalle Unit 2 Full Power Internal Events (FPIE) PRA model is used to quantitatively address risk impacts. The FPIE assessment is judged to adequately capture risk contributors associated with low power plant operation. The Interim Fire PRA model and other fire studies (e.g., NUREG/CR-6850) are used to provide qualitative and se mi-quantitative insights, determining that fire hazards are n egligible contributors. Seismic risk contributors are determi ned to be negligible bas ed on qualitative insights from the LaSalle RMIEP study. Other External Event risks were found to be negligible contributors based on the LaSalle RMIEP st udy and the IPEEE. 
 
5.2  PRA QUALITY
 
The PRA quality has been assessed and determined to be adequate for this risk application, as follows:
 
Scope - The LaSalle PRA modeling is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common cause events. The PRA has the necessary scope to appropriately assess the pertinent risk contributors.
Fidelity - The LaSalle PRA model (LS06C) is the most recent evaluation of the risk profile at LaSalle for FPIE challenges. The PRA reflects the as-built, as-operated plant.
Standards
- The PRA has been reviewed against the ASME PRA Standard the PRA elements are shown to have the necessary attributes to assess risk for this application.
Peer Review - The PRA has recently received a Peer Review. Based on the Peer Review results, the PRA is found to have the necessary attributes to assess risk for this application. Appropriate Quality
- The PRA quality is found to be commensurate with that needed to assess risk for this application.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension 41 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 5.3  QUANTITATIVE RESULTS VS. ACCEPTANCE GUIDELINES
 
As shown in Table 5.3-1 below, the base result s of the risk assessment indicate that the CDF, ICCDP, LERF, and ICLERP risk metric values are below the acceptance guidelines as defined in the corresponding risk significance guidelines from RG 1.174 and RG 1.177. 
 
This analysis demonstrates that the proposed TS change satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, and therefore meets the intent of very small risk increases consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
 
Table 5.3-1 RISK ASSESSMENT BASE RESULTS Risk Metric Value Acceptance Guidelines CDF 3.6E-08/yr <1.0E-06/yr ICCDP  3.6E-08 <5.0E-07 LERF 1.2E-08/yr <1.0E-07/yr ICLERP 1.2E-08 <5.0E-08
 
==5.4  CONCLUSION==
S
 
This analysis demonstrates the acceptability, fr om a risk perspective, of a change to the LaSalle Technical Spec ification (TS) for the Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system to increase the Completion Time (CT) from 8 hours to 72 hours when both SLC subsystems (i.e., both trains) are inoperable. 
 
This analysis demonstrates that the proposed TS change satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177. This meets the intent of very small risk increases consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
 
Additionally, a PRA technical adequacy eval uation was performed consistent with the requirements of ASME PRA Standard, Addendum B and RG 1.200, Revision 1. This included a process to identify potential sources of model uncertainty and related assumptions associated with this application. Th is resulted in the identification of issues that could both decrease and increase the ca lculated risk metrics. None of these identified sources of uncertainty were signi ficant enough to change the conclusions from the risk assessment results presented here.

LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-1 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Appendix A External Event Assessment A.1  INTRODUCTION
 
This appendix discusses the external event s assessment in support of the LaSalle SLC System CT extension risk assessment. This appendix uses as the star ting point of this assessment the external event analyses in the LaSalle Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (R MIEP) study (NUREG/
CR-4832) [Ref. A-1].
 
EGC submitted the results of the RMIEP study to the NRC in 1994 as the basis for the LaSalle IPE/IPEEE Submittal. Each of the RMIEP external event evaluations were reviewed as part of the submittal and compared to the requirements of NUREG-1407.
[Ref. A-6]  The NRC transmitted to EGC on in 1996 their Staff Evaluation Report of the LaSalle IPE/IPEEE Submittal. No other LaSalle external event PSA models or analysis were developed by Exelon.
 
A.2  EXTERNAL EVENT SCREENING ASSESSMENT
 
The purpose of this portion of the assessment is to screen the spectrum of external event challenges to determine which external event hazards should be explicitly addressed as part of the LaSalle SLC System CT extension risk assessment.  
 
Volume 7 of NUREG/CR-4832 provides the LaS alle RMIEP external event screening analysis. The screening assessment appropriately begins with the comprehensive list of potential external event hazards pr ovided in the PRA Procedures Guide, NUREG/CR-2300. [Ref. A-7] Consistent with NUREG/CR-2300, the screening assessment employed the following criteria to eliminate external event challenges from further consideration: 1. The event is of equal or lesse r damage potential than the events for which the plant is designed, or 2. The event has a significantly lower mean frequency of occurrence than other events with similar uncertainties and could not result in worse
 
consequences than those events, or 3. The event cannot occur close enough to the plant to affect it, or 4. The event is included in the definition of another event
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-2 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Although not listed explicitly as one of the screening criteria , the RMIEP screening assessment does incorporate (as evidenced in the Table 3.2-1 of Volume 7) the following criterion employed in the NUREG/C R-4550 study:  "The event is slow in developing and there is sufficient time to elimi nate the source of the threat or to provide an adequate response."  This criterion is also considered appropriate.
 
The following external events were identifi ed for further assessment in the LaSalle RMIEP study:  Seismic  Internal Fires  Aircraft Impact  Extreme Winds and Tornadoes  Transportation/Toxic C hemicals/Explosions  Turbine Generated Missiles  External Flooding
 
Seismic Discussed here in Section A.3.
 
Internal Fires
 
Discussed here in Section A.4.
 
Aircraft Impact
 
Section 3.4.2 of Volume 7 of the RMIEP study provides a bounding assessment of the aircraft impact hazard. The assessment approach is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-5042, Evaluation of External Hazard s to Nuclear Power Plants in the United States.  [Ref. A-8]  
 
The LaSalle RMIEP bounding assessment conservatively assumes that any impact to a Category I structure sufficient to cause back face scabbing of an exterior wall results in a core damage probability of 1.0. The resulting bounding core damage frequency was estimated at 4.84E-07/yr.
 
The LaSalle RMIEP bounding assessment did not include the diesel generator building in the assessment because it is much smaller than the other key buildings and it is shielded on two sides by other buildings.
Using the RMIEP-calcul ated reactor building aircraft impact CDF contribution of 3.93E
-07/yr (obtained from Table 3.4-5 of LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-3 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 NUREG/CR-4832 Volume 7), the contribution from an aircraft impact on the diesel generator building is estimated here as follows:
 
3.93E-07/yr  x  0.20  x  0.
50  x  1.00  =  3.93E-08/yr where:
0.20  =  DG Bldg. area / Rx Bldg. ar ea (based on review of plant drawings) 0.50  =  2 of the 4 compass directi ons are protected by other buildings 1.00  =  Per the RMIEP assumptions, the CCDP is 1.0
 
Incorporating the DG building into the RMIEP bounding assessment framework results in a conservative CDF estimate of 5.23E-07/yr due to aircraft impacts.
 
If it is assumed here that an aircraft impact su fficient to result in back face scabbing of building exterior walls does not conservatively result in a CCDP of 1.0 (as assumed in the RMIEP framework), but rat her a more reasonable value on the order of 0.1 or less, the aircraft impact induced CDF is estimated in the mid to lower E-8/
yr range. Such an estimate is approximately 1% of the LaSalle LS06C CDF. Explicit quantification of such accidents would not provide any significant quant itative or qualitative information to this assessment; therefore, such sequences are appropriately excluded from further analysis.
 
Other External Hazards
 
The other external hazards are assessed to be non-significant contributors to plant risk:  Extreme Winds / Tornadoes:  The RMIEP study estimated the CDF from extreme wind and tornado hazards at a medium value of 3E-08/yr (mean value of 7.5E-8/yr if lognormal di stribution and EF=10 assumed). The majority of this estimate is due to tornado induced dual unit loss of offsite power (DLOOP) with failure to recove r offsite power. Severe weather induced DLOOP sequences are already modeled in the LS06C PRA. Offsite / Transportation Hazards:  Bounding assessments in the RMIEP study dispositioned such hazards as non-significant risk contributors. Turbine Missiles:  A bounding assessment in the RMIEP study dispositioned turbine missiles as a non-significant risk contributor. Extreme Floods:
All safety-related structures on the LaSalle site are at a grade elevation of at least 710' mean sea level (MSL). The probable maximum flood elevation at the site (inc luding coincident wave effects) is 522.5' (MSL). The probable maximum precipitation (based on
 
conservative assumptions) results in a water level elevation at the site of 710.3' MSL. The RMIEP study conclu ded that external flood hazards are a non-significant risk contributor.
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-4 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Explicit treatment of these other external hazards is not necessary for most PSA applications (including the SLC System CT extension risk assessment) and would not provide additional risk-informed insights for decision making.
 
A.3  SEISMIC ASSESSMENT
 
There is no currently mainta ined quantitative Seismic PRA for LaSalle. The following section discusses seismic ATWS insight s from the LaSalle RMIEP study and NUREG-1150. 
 
A.3.1 RMIEP Seismic Overview
 
The RMIEP study analyzed LaSalle seismic risk employing the methodology sponsored by the U.S. NRC under the Seismic Safety Margin Research Program (SSMRP) and developed by Lawrence Livermore National Labor atory (LLNL). The key elements of the LaSalle RMIEP seismic risk analysis are: 1. Development of the seismic hazard at the LaSalle site including the effect of local site conditions. 2. Comparisons of the best estima te seismic response of structures, components, and piping systems with des ign values for the purposes of specifying median responses in the seismic risk calculations. 3. Investigation of the effects of hydrodynamic loads on seismic risk. 4. Development of building and co mponent fragilities for important structures and components. 5. Development of the system models (e.g., event and fault trees). 6. Estimation of the seismically induced CDF.
 
The RMIEP study includes plant specific fragilities for the reactor internals, the SBLC pumps and the SBLC tanks (as well as fo r other plant specific equipment and structures). The RMIEP study showed that seismic-induced ATWS is a non-significant contributor (<1%) to the plant seismic CDF.
 
A.3.2  Peach Bottom NUREG-1150 Seismic Overview
 
The NUREG/CR-4551 study completed an update of the NUREG-1150 severe accident analysis for five nuclear power plants, including the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. It is assumed that this analysis is generically appropriate for all BWRs due to the similarity of systems. 
 
This analysis addressed both internal and external events, including seismic initiators.
Peach Bottom utilized the Seismic Margins Analysis as part of the Individual Plant Examination for External Events (IPEEE).
LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-5 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 The NUREG/CR-4551 Peach Bottom seismic analysis screened seismic-induced ATWS accident sequences as non-significant contri butors (<1%) to the plant seismic CDF.
Based on the Peach Bottom results, I is judged that seismic-induced ATWS accident sequences are similarly non-significant contributors to the LaSalle plant seismic CDF.
 
A.3.3 Seismic Risk Impact Conclusion
 
Based on the preceding discussions, it is co ncluded that the risk of a seismically induced ATWS is non-significant and does not impact the decision-making for the
 
proposed LaSalle SLC CT extension.
A.4  INTERNAL FIRES ASSESSMENT
 
This internal fire assessment is based on the extensive work performed for the LaSalle RMIEP study and an Interim LaSalle Fire PRA (FPRA) model developed in 2008.
 
A.4.1 RMIEP Internal Fires Overview
 
The internal fires LaSalle RMIEP study is a detailed analysis that, like the seismic analysis, uses quantification and model elements (e.g., system fault trees, event tree structures, random failure rates, common cause failures, etc.) consistent with those employed in the internal events portion of the RMEIP study. The LaSalle RMIEP internal fires study was performed duri ng the same time fr ame as the NUREG-1150 studies [Ref. A-9] and the Fire Risk Scoping Study. [Ref. A-10]
 
The RMIEP internal events study models were used to support sequence quantification. This ensured that the fire sequence quantifications included plant-specific line-up, reliability, and human pre-accident reliability data. Plant walkdowns were performed to document plant-specific combustible loading, suitability of fire severity factors, locations of critical equipment, locations of fire dampers, suitability of doors and other fire barriers, effectiveness of fire detection and suppression systems, and other component specific attributes. Plant-specific cable location data were used to spatially identify control and power cables pa ssing through or powering components in the various fire areas.
 
The key elements of the LaSalle RMIEP internal fires a ssessment are consistent with current FPRA structures and include: 1. Fire hazard analysis 2. Fire growth and propagation
: 3. Fire suppression
: 4. Accident sequence deve lopment and quantification
 
LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-6 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 The RMIEP study showed that fire-induced ATWS is a non-significant contributor (<1%)
to the plant fire CDF.
 
A.4.2  NUREG/CR-6850 Screening
 
NUREG/CR-6850, Volume 2, Sect ion 2.5.1 (page 2-7) [Ref. A-3] provides the following directions for selecting components and accident scenarios to be examined in an internal fire PRA: "The types of sequences that could generally be eliminated from the PRA include the following-Sequences associated with events that, while it is possible that the fire could cause the event, a low-frequency argument can be justified. For ex ample, it can often be easily demonstrated that anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) sequences do not need to be treated in the Fire PRA because fire-induced failures will almost certainly remove power from the control
 
rods (resulting in a trip), rather than cause a "failure-to-scram" condition. Additionally, fire frequencies multiplied by the independent failure-to-scram probability can usually be argued to be small
 
contributors to fire risk."
As can be seen from the NUREG/CR-6850 excerpt above, fire-induced ATWS contributors are generally acknowledged as non-significant contributors to the fire risk profile.
A.4.3  LaSalle Interim Fire PRA
 
The current LaSalle FPRA [Ref. A-4] is an interim implementation of NUREG/CR-6850; that is, not all tasks identified in NUREG/CR-6850 are ye t completely addressed or implemented due to the changing state-of-the-ar t of industry at th e time of the 2008-2009 LaSalle FPRA development. 
 
NUREG/CR-6850 task limitations and other pr ecautions regarding the 2008-2009 FPRA upgrade for LaSalle are as follows:  Multiple Spurious Operation (MSO) Review (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2) - MSOs are reviewed and considered; however, an expert panel is not used. At the time of the 2008 LaS alle FPRA the BWR Owners' Group was developing a generic list of MSOs to be considered. At future updates the list should be reviewed and incorporated as necessary. Instrumentation Review (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2) - The new requirements of NUREG/CR-6850 regarding the explicit identification and modeling of instrumentation r equired to support PRA credited operator actions is not addressed. T he industry treatment for this task is still being developed.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-7 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009  The Balance of Plant (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2) - The BO P is not fully treated. BOP support syst em failure is conservatively assumed. Additional modeling c ould be conducted to reduce the fire CDF due to this assumption if time and funding is available in future updates. Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2) -
LERF is not considered. LERF is expected to be addressed in future
 
updates. Limited Analysis Iterations (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 9-12) - The process of conducting a FPRA is it erative, identifying conservative assumptions and high risk compar tments and performing analyses to refine the assumptions and reduce those compartment risks. The ability to conduct iterations is limited based on resources. The
 
scenarios developed for the 2008-2009 LaSalle FPRA may benefit from further refinement as necessary for application or for future updates. Multi-Compartment Review (NURE G/CR-6850 Task 11) - This subtask reviews the fire analysis compartm ent boundaries to ensure they are sufficiently robust to prevent the sp read of fire between FPRA analysis compartments or that such pr opagations are adequately addressed by the developed scenarios. The design and plant layout of LaSalle make fire propagation to multiple compartm ents unlikely compared to the fire risk in individual compartments.
RMIEP [A-1] performed a multi-compartment analysis that can be us ed along with the results of the 2008-2009 FPRA as necessary. Seismic Fire Interactions (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 13) - This task reviews previous assessments to identify any specific interaction between suppression system and cr edited components or adverse impact of fire protection system interactions that should be accounted for in the FPRA. The results of RMIEP [A-1] are considered appropriate for the LaSalle FPRA. Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 15) - This task explores the impacts of possi ble variation of input parameters used in the development of the model and the inputs to the analysis on the FPRA results. This task is not currently addressed because the industry is still developing an appropriate methodology. 
 
Some limitations of these items are:  Item 1(MSO), represents a source of additional fire CDF contribution (i.e., if the BWROG MSO list incl udes MSOs not addressed in this update). Item 2 (Instrumentation Review) r epresents a potential additional fire CDF contribution that cannot be esti mated at this time since the LaSalle SLC CT Extension A-8 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 methodology is not established. Items 3 (BOP) and 8 (Uncertainty) are potential sources of conservatism in the results. Item 4 (LERF) is a future scope issue not affecting the fire CDF model. Items 5 (Iterations) and 6 (Multi-compartment) represent modeling assumptions that should be reviewed with each FPRA application to determine their applicability and/or potential impact on the decision. Item 7 (Seismic) is a FPRA application completeness issue for which the methodology is not yet established.
Given the above, the 2008-2009 LaSalle Unit 1 and Unit 2 FPRA models are judged to provide a meaningful representat ion of fire CDF contributor s, and is appropriate for use in risk-informed decision-making, to the extent that these lim itations are recognized and addressed in each application, as appropriate. The model is, however, "interim" due to the stated limitations.
 
Based on the interim LaSalle Fire PRA, t he likelihood of a fire-induced ATWS scenario is approximately 5E-8/yr, this is approximately 1% of the internal events likelihood of an ATWS event. As such, like the LaSalle RMIEP study the LaSalle interim FPRA shows that fire-induced ATWS is a non-significant contributor to t he plant risk profile.
A.4.4  BWROG Position on Fire-Induced Failure to Scram
 
Fire scenarios that could threaten the func tion of the reactor protection system have been addressed in a BWROG assessment (ref er to Appendix C) of NRC Information Notice 2007-07. [Ref. A-5]
The assessment outlines the types of scenarios in which a fire could energize a circuit through a "
hot short" that woul d compromise scram capabilities. The assessment also indicates t hat there are multiple actions that would have to occur in conjunction to the very spec ific fire scenarios for function to be lost.
 
The assessment concluded that these scenarios are of low-likelihood, low safety-significance, and have multiple layers of de fense-in-depth which would either prevent the condition, or adequately mitigate it.
 
A.4.5 Fire Risk Impact Conclusion
 
Based on the preceding discussions, it is concluded that fire induced ATWS is a non-significant contributor to the plant risk profile, and thus does not impact the decision-making of the proposed LaSalle SLC CT extension.

B.1 MODEL UNCERTAINTIES
 
==SUMMARY==
 
Postulated modeling uncertainties are identified through a systematic structured process. Table B-1 summarizes the candidate model uncertainties and their impacts on the CDF and LERF risk metrics for LaSalle. Four modeling uncertainties that are considered important model uncertainty are identified in Table B-2. 
 
It is noted that none of these cases evaluates modeling issues associated with the SLC system or ATWS sequences.

LaSalle SLC CT Extension B-5 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 B.2 MODEL UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH SLCS OUT OF SERVICE To determine the relative importance of individual contributors for this SLC CT extension, the focus needs to be on the results of the CDF assessment for the SLC system out of service. To obt ain insights regarding this change to the base case results, the first step is to take the out-of-serv ice case cutsets and remove the base case cutsets. This is done in CAFTA through the del ete term function of the cutset editor. The result of this process is a list of cutsets that are unique to the SLC out-of-service case and do not appear in the base case. These cutsets can be used to determine information regarding significant accident sequences or cutsets that determine the change in risk metrics, i.e., drive the delta-CDF assessment. 
 
Table B-3 presents the top ten cutsets for the delta-CDF assessment. Table B-4 presents the importance measures associated with the delta-CDF assessment.
 
Tables B-3 and B-4 show that the Scram syste m hardware failure is the most important contributor for the SLC system out-of-service case. The top ten cutsets are primarily mechanical failures of the RPS system. Some cutsets also include high probability HEPs associated with RPS failur e, but all include the mechanica l failure of RPS. Of the events appearing in Table B-4 with F-V val ues greater than 2E-2, RPS failure events are the only basic events other than initiators. This is due to the fact that the cutsets associated with the SLC system out-of-service are again predominantly single failures of the Scram system leading to core dam age. The other basic events are HEPs and other events associated with Scram system failure.
 
It can be concluded that the SLC out-of-serv ice case CDF is dominated by failures of the Scram system. The basic events used to model the Scram system failures are already considered in the base uncertainty a ssessment. Similarly, the LERF results are dominated by failures of the Scram system for the SLC out-of-service case. The LERF results provide similar insights to the CDF results insights.
 
Because of the large potential impact of the mechanical failu re to scram probability on the assessment of the risk metrics for this application, it is prudent to perform a sensitivity recognizing the uncertainty in the mechanical common cause failure to scram probability. 
 
This sensitivity is performed by incl uding the 95% upper bound on the common cause mechanical scram failure probability in bot h the base case and the case with the SLC system set to TRUE. 
 
The results of the sensitivity case are shown in Table B-5.
LaSalle SLC CT Extension B-6 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis , it is found that t he acceptance criteria are all met even for this extreme assumption regarding the common cause mechanical scram failure probability.

LaSalle SLC CT Extension B-47 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 B.3 PARAMETRIC UNCERTAINTY
 
Consistent with the ASME PRA Standard, quantitative param etric uncertainty analyses for both CDF and LERF have been performed and are summarized in this section. The
 
results of the uncertainty analysis for the proposed CT are compared with the results of the uncertainty analysis performe d for the 2006C PRA Update.
 
The parametric uncertainty analyses are perfo rmed using Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis is performed using the EPRI R&R workstation UNCERT software.
 
B.3.1 Core Damage Frequency (CDF) Para metric Uncertainty Distribution
 
The resulting uncertainty distribution fo r the proposed CT conf iguration (i.e., CDF SLC-OOS) calculated by UNCERT Version 2.3a for CDF is shown in Figure B-1. It summarizes:    Distribution statistics (e.g
., mean, error factor, etc.)  Probability density chart of the CDF
 
The approximate error factor (or range factor) for the proposed CT is 3.1, as compared to the error factor of th e LS06C Model of 2.1. 
 
One of the critical aspects of the parametric uncertainty assessments is the desire to ensure that the point estimate calculati on performed with the base PRA model (i.e., using CAFTA) produces a point estimate result that is not too dissi milar from the true mean calculation when the correlation effect is accounted for. Table B-6 provides this comparison for the proposed CT model (i.e., CDFSLC-OOS):  Table B-6 PARAMETER UNCERTAINTY COMPARISON FOR CDF WITH SLC OUT OF SERVICE CDF Parameter CDF SLC-OOS Result Code Point Estimate 8.32E-6/yr CAFTA Uncertainty Mean 8.36E-6/yr UNCERT  4.0E-8/yr (0.5%) -
 
This difference represents a very small per turbation on the point estimate CDF.
Therefore, it is concluded that the point estimate CDF calculated by CAFTA can be used to represent the mean CT CDF.

The same process as used for CDF is also used for LERF. The resulting uncertainty distribution calculated by UNCERT Version 2.3a for LERF is shown in Figure B-2. The figure summarizes the following:    Distribution statistics (e.g
., mean, error factor, etc.)  Probability density chart of the LERF
 
The approximate error factor (or range factor) for the proposed CT for the LERF uncertainty distribution is 5.6 (calculat ed using SQR(95%/5%)), as compared to the error factor of 2.9 for the LS06C model.
 
Table B-7 provides a comparis on of the PRA LERF point estimate and the propagated uncertainty mean for the proposed CT case (i.e., LERFSLC-OOS):  Table B-7 PARAMETER UNCERTAINTY COMPARISON FOR LERF WITH SLC OUT OF SERVICE LERF Parameter LERF SLC-OOS  Result Code Point Estimate 1.78E-6/yr CAFTA Uncertainty Mean 1.78E-6/yr UNCERT  0.00/yr --
 
The propagated uncertainty mean for LERFSLC-OOS is the identical, to two decimal places, as the point estimate value. Therefor e, it is concluded that the point estimate LERF calculated by CAFTA can be used to represent the mean CT LERF.

LaSalle SLC CT Extension C-1 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Appendix C BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 1.0) Summary: 2.0) Description of Issue: BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 This assessment addresses the condition described by the NRC in NRC Information Notice 2007-07 and in the inspection report referenced therein. The overall assessment of the condition described in NRC Information Notice 2007-07 by the BWROG is that it represents a condition with a low likelihood of occurrence, with low safety significance and with multiple layers of defense-in-depth currently in place each with the capability to either prevent the condition from occurring or to effectively mitigate the effects of the occurrence without consequence. It is the position of the BWROG that all BWRs should have a manual operator action tied to their post-fire safe shutdown procedures instructing the operator to implement the requirements of EO-113 should the fire impact the ability to scram. This manual operator action should be endorsed by the NRC for use in both M.G. 1 and 2 areas, as well as, III.G.3 and IIII areas. The evaluation provided in this paper and the limited likelihood of occurrence of the condition are considered to be sufficient justification for concluding that this manual operator action is both feasible and reliable. It is recommended that each BWR review this assessment and assure that their plant specific conditions are consistent with the measures described herein. As a minimum, each licensee should assure that the EOP action to implement the requirements of EO-113 is linked to their post-fire safe shutdown procedures. NRC Information Notice 2007-07 postulates a condition where two (2) hot shorts could result in the failure of one of four control rods groups to insert during a manual scram from the Control Room. The IN further postulates that with the reactor in this condition the operator rapidly depressurizes the reactor and re-floods the reactor with cold water using a low pressure system. The IN further states: "By design, the negative reactivity, added by all four rod groups during a scram, provides adequate shutdown margin to offset the positive void and temperature reactivity
[that] would have been added to the vessel [during such a shutdown sequence]". 3.0) Scram System Design Description
: Typically, the Reactor Protection System (RPS) for a BWR consists of two (2) Trip Systems (A and B), each containing two Trip Channels (Al, A2, Bl, B2) of sensors and logic. The four channels contain automatic scram logic for the monitored parameters listed below, each of which has at least one input to each of the logic channels: Scram Discharge Volume Water Level LaSalle SLC CT Extension C-2 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 Main Steam Line Isolation Valve Position Turbine Stop Valve Position Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure Reactor Vessel Water Level Main Steam line Radiation " Neutron Monitoring System Primary Containment Pressure Reactor Vessel Pressure The RPS automatic trip logic requires at least one channel in each trip system to be tripped in order to cause a scram. This is referred to as one-out-of-two-taken-twice trip logic. The two RPS Trip Systems are independently powered from their respective RPS Buses. The trip channels (Al, A2, Bl, 132) associated with each Trip System (A, B) operate the automatic scram Trip Logic Relays (K14 A-H). The RPS auto scram logic string is sometimes referred to as "trip actuator" or "actuation" logic because the output of the logic is what actually causes the control rods to scram by de-energizing the pilot scram solenoid valves. The RPS circuits are a fail-safe design in that the circuits are normally energized, and the loss of power, including the loss of offsite power, will initiate the scram. Once the scram has occurred, re-energization of the RPS logic will not, in and of itself, cause the control rod movement necessary to re-establish reactor criticality. 4.0) Evaluation
: The evaluation performed is divided into two sections. The first section performs a circuit analysis of the scram circuitry. This portion of the evaluation examines the scram circuitry in an effort to determine the set of hot shorts that, should they occur, have the potential to prevent one or more rod groups from inserting. The first section also addresses the significance of the postulated condition and the features currently in place with the capability to prevent or mitigate the effects of the condition. The second section addresses the implications for Appendix R Compliance given the required circuit design for this important safety system and given the potential ramifications of the hot shorts postulated in the first section. 4.1) Circuit Analysis: Figures 1 through 4 attached to this paper shows portions of the scram circuitry for a typical BWR. Three (3) separate cases involving up to two hot shorts are discussed in this paper. LaSalle SLC CT Extension C-3 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 Case I: (Refer to Figure 1) BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 Case I attempted to identify the condition described in IN 2007-07. IN 2007-07 concluded that two (2) hot shorts were required to prevent a single rod group from scramming. The BWROG, however, was unable to identify any circuitry where two (2) fire-induced hot shorts would prevent one of four scram rod groups from inserting. The BWROG identified that a single hot short in either of the divisionalized trip logics can prevent the scram of a single rod group. This finding is different than the conclusion in IN 2007-07. The finding of the BWROG assessment is a direct consequence of the 1 out of 2 taken twice logic used in the design for the scram function. The single hot short with the potential for preventing the scramming of a single rod group could occur in either the Trip System A or B Relay Panel. [Refer to Figure 1 attached for a description of the location of the subject hot short, labeled as "Hot Short I".] The hot short must occur prior to the operator scramming the reactor. The location of the hot short shown in Figure 1 would be either in one of the Trip System Relay Panels or in a raceway carrying the circuit from the Trip System Relay Panel to the Scram Pilot Solenoid Valves. (Note: For some licensees, the relay panels are located in separate relay rooms outside of the main control room.) For the hot short in this case to affect the reactivity function, it must remain in effect until such time when the operator depressurizes the reactor and begins re-flooding with a low pressure system. The Emergency Operating Procedures for a BWR instruct the operator not to depressurize the reactor until reactor level reaches the top of active fuel. In a typical BWR, it will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes of boil-off for reactor level to decrease to the top of active fuel. Industry and NRC cable fire testing have shown that hot shorts last for only a few minutes prior to shorting to ground. [EPRI Testing determined the maximum duration of a hot short was 11.3 minutes. CAROLFIRE Testing determined that the maximum duration of a hot short was 7.6 minutes.] Therefore, it appears unlikely that the required hot short could last for a sufficient amount of time that the impacted control rod group would fail to insert prior to the time when the EOPs directed the operator to depressurize the reactor. Case 11: (Refer to Figure 2) Case II is one of two cases identified where two (2) fire-induced hot shorts could prevent a full scram. (Note: No conditions were identified where two (2) fire-induced hot shorts were required to prevent a single rod group from scramming.) LaSalle SL C CT Extension C-4 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 Refer to Figure 2 attached for the case where two (2) fire-induced hot shorts could prevent a full scram. This case postulates a condition where two hot shorts just below the manual scam switches for two trip channels can prevent a full scram. The postulated hot shorts could occur in either the main control room operating bench board or in a raceway carrying the trip circuit to one of the Trip System Relay Panels. The hot short will keep the K15 relays from de-energizing and this will subsequently keep the K14 relays energized. By keeping the K14 relays energized, as shown in Figure 1, none of the rod groups will de-energize and none will insert. Figure 2 shows the location of the two individual hot shorts. One affects the K15B relay and one affects the K15D relay. The K15 relays are de-energized by actuating the manual scram switches in the Control Room on the main control board. Keeping the K15 relays energized by the hot shots shown in Figure 2, will keep the K14 relays energized, as shown in Figures 3. Keeping the K14 relays energized, as shown in Figure 3, will prevent rod group insertion, as shown in Figure 1. For this case, however, there are numerous other inputs into the scram logic that can override the effects of the hot short affecting the K15 relays. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for the additional input signals to the scram function. For example, as shown on Figure 4, closure of the MSIVs or reactor level reaching the +13" level will override the effects of the hot shorts affecting the K15 relays and result in a de-energization of the K 14 relays and full rod insertion. Therefore, it appears unlikely that the required hot shorts, even if they were to co-exist, could prevent the scram and cause the reactivity transient described in the IN. This is true because the effect of the hot short would be overriddened by the reduction in reactor level that would be necessary before the operator would take the action to depressurize the reactor prior to making up with a low pressure system. Case III: (Refer to Figure 3) (Limited to the Trip System Relay Panels) Case III is similar to Case II. Hot shorts are postulated in the locations shown in Figure 3, the K14 relays will again remain energized. The energization of the K14 relays will prevent the scram for all rod groups. For this case to occur, the fire must sufficiently damage two separate circuits and the fire induced damage must occur on each circuit simultaneously. Industry and NRC cable fire testing have shown that hot shorts last for only a few minutes prior to shorting to ground. [EPRI Testing determined the maximum duration of a hot short was 11.3 minutes. CAROLFIRE Testing determined that the maximum duration of a hot short was 7.6 minutes.] LaSalle SLC CT Extension C-5 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 Therefore, it appears unlikely that the required hot shorts would co-exist given that the time required for fire damage to the individual cables and fire propagation between relay compartments to occur. For all of the cases discussed above, regardless of the number of fire-induced hot shorts postulated, the required hot short configuration must occur prior to the operator scramming the unit. For those configurations requiring more than a single hot short, the two hot shorts must exist coincidentally. The hot short configurations must remain in effect until such time when the operator depressurizes the reactor and begins re-flooding with a low pressure system. The Emergency Operating Procedures for a BWR instruct the operator not to depressurize the reactor until reactor level reaches the top of active fuel. Additionally, the scenario described in the IN represents a condition more severe than many BWRs would experience due to the availability of additional safe shutdown system capability. Many BWRs also have high pressure systems available for alternative shutdown at their remote shutdown panel. For a BWR with a high pressure system safe shutdown capability, the time available prior to the need to reduce pressure reactor pressure for injection with either a low pressure system or for shutdown cooling would be extended by a number of hours. Finally, operators for all BWRs are trained on the use of the Emergency Operating Procedures. EO-113 for each BWR provides clear direction to the to either remove RPS power or the vent the SCRAM air header to achieve a full scram. 4.2) Implications for Appendix R Compliance
: For all plants the main operating bench board is in the main control room. At some plants, the relay panels are located in the main control room. In other plants the relay panels are located in a relay room separate from the main control room. For these latter set of plants, some classify the relay room as 1II.G.3 areas and some classify the relay room as III. G. I and 2 areas. This issue, therefore, has implications for redundant safe shutdown under Appendix R Section III.G. l and 2 and for alternative and dedicated safe shutdown under the requirements of Appendix R Section 111.G.3 and 11I.L. With respect to Case 1, it is clear that none of the methods available under III.G.2 would be effective in preventing the condition. Protection of the subject circuits with a 3 hour fire rated barrier, with a one hour fire rated barrier with automatic suppression and detection or by separation of 20 feet with automatic suppression and detection and no intervening combustibles, would not prevent the occurrence of this event. Additionally, even if the relay panels for each of the four channels are located in separate control/relay room in separate fire areas, the condition could still occur and 3-hour fire rated barriers LaSalle SLC CT Extension C-6 C467090020-8750-12/28/2009 BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 for each of these postulated fire areas would be ineffective in preventing the occurrence of the condition. The condition postulated in Case I can only be mitigated by the use of a manual operator action consistent with the manual operator actions currently invoked under Emergency Operating Procedure, EO-113. The conditions described for Cases II and III are similar. Neither of these cases represents a condition that is prevented by the type of redundant train separation invoked under Appendix R, since the postulated hot shorts occur within a single division. Therefore, the provision of Appendix R cannot be used to address the conditions described in this paper. Re-design of the scram circuitry is not a viable option without compromising the design function of this important safety function. In addition to the features of the RPS system described above, the Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI) system (vents SCRAM air header), Backup Scram Solenoids (vents SCRAM air header), and Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system (inserts sodium pentaborate) provide additional redundant means to achieve reactor shutdown. For areas such as the main Control Room and the Relay Rooms, however, similar fire-induced impacts could be postulated. This paper has highlighted one example of an area where verbatim compliance with the requirements of Appendix R is insufficient in preventing fire induced damage from potentially impacting safe shutdown. The BWROG believes that this case and, potentially, other like it are the reason why from the initial issuance of Appendix R that certain conditions were considered to be initial boundary conditions for the Appendix R Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Analysis. Assuming that the reactor is scrammed was one of those initial boundary conditions given for the Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Analysis. NRC Generic letter 86-10 in the Response to Question 3.8.4, Control Room Fire Considerations, endorsed the assumption of a reactor trip prior to evacuating the Control Room. Based on this and on the fail-safe nature of the reactor protection system, many licensees assumed and the NRC accepted that a reactor trip was an initial boundary condition for the start of the post-fire safe shutdown analysis, i.e. the plant is scrammed prior to the scram circuitry being damaged by the fire. Although the BWROG believes that the prior industry position related to the scram is correct and its use provides for a safe plant design, the BWROG also recognizes that fires have some limited potential to impact the scram capability. As a precaution, it is the position of the BWROG that all BWRs should have a manual operator action tied to their post-fire safe shutdown procedures instructing the operator to implement the requirements of EO-113 should the fire impact the ability to scram. This manual operator action should be endorsed by the NRC for use in both III.G. I and III.G.2 areas, as well as, III.G.3 and III.L areas. The evaluation provided in this paper and the limited likelihood of occurrence of the condition are considered to be sufficient justification for the feasibility and reliability of this manual operator action.

: Thomas A. Gorman, PE, SFPE Gary S. Birmingham BWROG Assessment of NRC Information Notice 2007-07 Given the unlikely set of circumstances required for this condition to occur and to remain in effect until such time that it could pose a beyond design basis concern to the reactor, the risk associated with this issue is judged to be low. Given the fact that there are multiple barriers (circuit failure characteristics, design features, procedural guidance and rigorous operator training) in place to prevent the occurrence of this condition, the safety significance of this issue is also judged to be very low. This assessment addresses the condition described by the NRC in NRC Information Notice 2007-07 and in the inspection report referenced therein. The overall assessment of the condition described in NRC Information Notice 2007-07 by the BWROG is that it represents a condition with a low likelihood of occurrence, with low safety significance and with multiple layers of defense-in-depth currently in place each with the capability to either prevent the condition from occurring or to effectively mitigate the effects of the occurrence without consequence. It is the position of the BWROG that all BWRs should have a manual operator action tied to their post-fire safe shutdown procedures instructing the operator to implement the requirements of EO-113 should the fire impact the ability to scram. This manual operator action should be endorsed by the NRC for use in both III.G. l and 2 areas, as well as, III.G.3 and IILL areas. The evaluation provided in this paper and the limited likelihood of occurrence of the condition are considered to be sufficient justification for concluding that this manual operator action is both feasible and reliable. It is recommended that each BWR review this assessment and assure that their plant specific conditions are consistent with the measures described herein. As a minimum, each licensee should assure that the EOP action to implement the requirements of EO-113 is linked to their post-fire safe shutdown procedures. Prepared by: Thomas A.
