The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) finds that PPL Susquehanna, LLC, in its September 7, 2006, submittal, identified the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance as follows:1.The regulations in 10 CFR Part 50, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," Section 50.55a(f)(4) establish the effective Code edition and addenda to be used by licensees for performing inservice testing (IST) requirements of pumps and valves which are classified as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.2.The regulations of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) establish the effective Code edition and addendato be used by licensees for performing inservice inspection requirements of components (including supports) which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class MC, and Class CC. 3.Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Progam," Regulatory Position C.3, states, in part, that examinations should be conducted prior to initiating a Type A test, and during two other refueling outages before the next Type A test if the interval for the Type A test has been extended to 10 years. 4.NUREG-1482, "Guidelines for Inservice Testing Programs at Nuclear Power Plants," provides recommendations that licensees may follow in developing and implementing inservice testing programs and includes the positions from Generic Letter (GL) 89-04, "Guidance on Developing Acceptable Inservice Testing Programs."
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1Background
SSES 1 and 2 are General Electric Boiling-Water Reactor (BWR) designs, BWR-6 with a Mark IIprimary containment. The containment vessel consists of a reinforced concrete cylindrical suppression chamber and a cone-shaped drywell structure. The entire structure rests on a concrete foundation mat. The containment vessel is penetrated by access openings, process piping, and electrical penetrations. The integrity of the penetrations is verified through Type B and Type C local leak rate tests (LLRT), and the overall integrity of the containment vessel is verified through an integrated leak rate test (ILRT). These tests are performed to verify the leak-tight characteristics of the containment vessel at the design-basis accident pressure.3.1PPL's Proposed Change to TS 5.5.6 The proposed change revises TS 5.5.6.b to indicate that the IST Program will include testingfrequencies that are non-standard frequencies utilized in the IST Program in which the provisions of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.2 are applicable. TS 5.5.6.b is revised to state:The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the above required Frequencies and othernormal and accelerated Frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the Inservice Testing Program for performing inservice testing activities.The IST program provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3components. The proposed change to TS 5.5.6.b would indicate that the provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to other IST frequencies that are not specified in the program. The NRC staff concludes this change to be consistent with 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) and the guidance of NUREG-1482, and therefore, finds it acceptable. 3.2PPL's Proposed Change to TS 5.5.12 The proposed change revises TS 5.5.12 to add two exceptions to RG 1.163. TS 5.5.12 isrevised to state:a.The visual examination of containment concrete surfaces intended to fulfill therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B testing, will be performed in accordance with the requirements of and frequency specified by the ASME Section XI Code, Subsection IWL, except where relief has been authorized by the
NRC. b.The visual examination of the steel liner plate inside containment intended to fulfillthe requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, will be performed in accordance with the requirements of and frequency specified by the ASME Section XI Code, Subsection IWE, except where relief has been authorized by the
NRC.The proposed change would require PPL to perform examinations on the primary containmentpursuant to the ASME Code, Subsections IWL and IWE in lieu of the visual examinations required by Regulatory Positions C.3 of RG 1.163. Under the requirement of the ASME Code, Subsections IWL and IWE, PPL will be required to perform one less visual inspection of the containment during the ten-year interval for SSES 1 and 2.Subsection IWE requires the licensee to perform general visual examinations of the liner andpenetrations 3 times in a 10-year interval. Subsection IWL requires the licensee to perform general visual examinations of the accessible concrete surfaces two times in the interval. Prior to performing an ILRT, the licensee will schedule its IWE and IWL examinations so they are counted as pre-ILRT examinations. This process satisfies Regulatory Position C.3 of RG 1.163.
The NRC staff concludes that the proposed change to TS 5.5.12 is consistent with the guidance of RG 1.163 and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) for components classified as Code Class CC, and therefore, finds it acceptable.
3.3NRC Staff Conclusion
Based on the review of PPL's September 7, 2006, submittal, the NRC staff finds the proposedTS amendment to be acceptable. The changes to TS 5.5.6 as proposed by PPL is acceptable because it is consistent with guidance in NUREG-1482 and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) for pumps and valves which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. In addition, the NRC staff concludes that the changes to TS 5.5.12 as proposed by PPL are acceptable because it is consistent with RG 1.163 and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4).
4.0STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Pennsylvania State Official was notified ofthe proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facilitycomponent located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding thatthe amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (71 FR 75997). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
6.0CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded based on the considerations discussed above that: (1) there isreasonable 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 Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.Principal Contributors: R.
