Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Response to Request for Additional Information | |||
Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Page 1 of 2 Response to Request for Additional Information On January 9, 2019, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna), submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). Specifically, Susquehanna requested a temporary extension to select Completion Times in Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1, Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) System and the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) and TS 3.7.2, Emergency Service Water (ESW) System, to allow for replacement of ESW System piping. By email dated May 7, 2019, the NRC requested the following additional information. The response to this request for additional information (RAI) is provided below. | |||
NRC RAI 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) requires that, when an Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) of a nuclear reactor plant is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met. Susquehanna Technical Specifications (TSs) list remedial actions according to described Conditions in an ACTIONS table for each TS. Each Condition has Required Actions that must be completed within a given Completion Time (CT). | |||
The licensee proposed a CT of 14 days for TS 3.7.1 Condition B and TS 3.7.2 Conditions B and C during the replacement of ESW piping for the opposite unit. The proposed CTs are modified by footnotes which identifies that the temporary extension is only applicable during ESW piping replacement and will expire in 2026 for Unit 2 and 2027 for Unit 1. | |||
In Enclosure 1 of the LAR, the licensee provided an evaluation of the proposed changes. | |||
Section 3.3 of this enclosure contains a list of compensatory measures the licensee will implement during the evolution to replace the ESW piping. In Enclosure 5 of the LAR, the licensee made a regulatory commitment to implement the compensatory measures identified in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1. It appears that part of the justification for the proposed temporary CTs relies on the compensatory measures in Section 3.3. | |||
Provide justification for the proposed CT language and footnote language that does not mention the compensatory measures. Alternatively, consider rewording the proposed CT language and footnote language to indicate that the 14 day CT is contingent on implementation of the compensatory measures in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1 to the LAR. | |||
Susquehanna Response Susquehanna has determined it is necessary to revise the wording of the footnotes modifying Condition B to TS 3.7.1 and Conditions B and C to TS 3.7.2. Specifically, the wording for all | |||
Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Page 2 of 2 such footnotes has been revised to state, This Completion Time is only applicable during the Unit [1/2, as appropriate] A and B ESW piping replacement while the compensatory measures identified in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1 to letter PLA-7751 are in place. Upon completion of pipe replacement activities, this temporary extension is no longer applicable and will expire on June 25, [2026/2027, as appropriate]. | |||
The revised TS markup pages are provided in Enclosure 2 and the revised clean TS pages are provided in Enclosure 3. The TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 of this letter supersede the TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 to the Susquehanna letter dated January 9, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19009A431), in their entirety. | |||

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna), submitted, in Reference 1, a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License numbers NPF -14 and NPF-22. The proposed amendment would allow temporary changes toTS 3.7.1, "Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) System and the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS)" and TS 3.7.2, "Emergency Service Water (ESW) System," to allow for replacement ofESW System piping.
The NRC provided a Request for Additional Information (RAI) in Reference 2. Enclosure 1 to this letter provides Susquehanna's response to the NRC's RAI. Based on Susquehanna's response to the RAI in Enclosure 1, the TS markups provided in Reference 1 have been revised.
The revised TS markup pages are provided in Enclosure 2 and the revised clean TS pages are provided in Enclosure 3. The TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 of this letter supersede the TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 to Reference 1 in their entirety.

Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Response to Request for Additional Information
Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Page 1 of 2 Response to Request for Additional Information On January 9, 2019, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna), submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). Specifically, Susquehanna requested a temporary extension to select Completion Times in Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1, Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) System and the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) and TS 3.7.2, Emergency Service Water (ESW) System, to allow for replacement of ESW System piping. By email dated May 7, 2019, the NRC requested the following additional information. The response to this request for additional information (RAI) is provided below.
NRC RAI 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) requires that, when an Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) of a nuclear reactor plant is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met. Susquehanna Technical Specifications (TSs) list remedial actions according to described Conditions in an ACTIONS table for each TS. Each Condition has Required Actions that must be completed within a given Completion Time (CT).
The licensee proposed a CT of 14 days for TS 3.7.1 Condition B and TS 3.7.2 Conditions B and C during the replacement of ESW piping for the opposite unit. The proposed CTs are modified by footnotes which identifies that the temporary extension is only applicable during ESW piping replacement and will expire in 2026 for Unit 2 and 2027 for Unit 1.
In Enclosure 1 of the LAR, the licensee provided an evaluation of the proposed changes.
Section 3.3 of this enclosure contains a list of compensatory measures the licensee will implement during the evolution to replace the ESW piping. In Enclosure 5 of the LAR, the licensee made a regulatory commitment to implement the compensatory measures identified in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1. It appears that part of the justification for the proposed temporary CTs relies on the compensatory measures in Section 3.3.
Provide justification for the proposed CT language and footnote language that does not mention the compensatory measures. Alternatively, consider rewording the proposed CT language and footnote language to indicate that the 14 day CT is contingent on implementation of the compensatory measures in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1 to the LAR.
Susquehanna Response Susquehanna has determined it is necessary to revise the wording of the footnotes modifying Condition B to TS 3.7.1 and Conditions B and C to TS 3.7.2. Specifically, the wording for all
Enclosure 1 to PLA-7793 Page 2 of 2 such footnotes has been revised to state, This Completion Time is only applicable during the Unit [1/2, as appropriate] A and B ESW piping replacement while the compensatory measures identified in Section 3.3 of Enclosure 1 to letter PLA-7751 are in place. Upon completion of pipe replacement activities, this temporary extension is no longer applicable and will expire on June 25, [2026/2027, as appropriate].
The revised TS markup pages are provided in Enclosure 2 and the revised clean TS pages are provided in Enclosure 3. The TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 of this letter supersede the TS pages provided in Enclosures 2 and 3 to the Susquehanna letter dated January 9, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19009A431), in their entirety.
