Background
By application dated June 30, 2011, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Union Electric Company (the licensee) requested an amendment to revise Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.6, "Containment Spray and Cooling Systems," Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.6.6.3 for verifying the minimum required containment cooling train cooling water flow rate. SR 3.6.6.3 requires verification that containment cooling train cooling water flow rate is ;?; 2200 gallons per minute (gpm). The TS Bases state, in part, that Verifying that each containment cooling train ESW [essential service water]
cooling rate flow is ;?; 2200 gpm provides assurance that the design flow rate assumed in the safety analysis will be achieved.
The Callaway Plant, Unit 1 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Section 6.2.2.2.1.1, "Safety Design Basis;' for the containment cooling system (CtCS) states, in part, that The CtCS, in conjunction with the CSS [containment spray system], is capable of removing sufficient heat energy and subsequent decay heat from the containment atmosphere following the LOCA [Ioss-of-coolant accident] or MSLB
[main steam line break] accident to maintain the containment pressure below design values.
The licensee is requesting a change to SR 3.6.6.3 from requiring a flow rate;?; 2200 gpm to that which is within limits:' The flow rate of 2200 gpm is one of the design inputs in the safety analysis mentioned above. The licensee proposes to change the TS Bases to read"within limits specified in plant flow balance procedures and calculations:'
