2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, para.meters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. | 2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, para.meters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. | ||
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. | The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term, "lnservice Testing Program," with the defined term, as denoted by capitalized letters, throughout the TSs. | ||

Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions | 2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes: | ||
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] .... The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules. The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. | Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports.

The licensee's proposed amendment is based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STSs. | ||
Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per | The staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent. | ||
For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Consideration of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) | lnseNice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part: | ||
The ASME OM Code requires testing to normally be performed within certain time periods. TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) sets inservice testing frequencies more precisely than those specified in the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda (e.g., "at least once per 31 days" contrasted with "monthly"). | |||
However, the NRC staff determined that the more precise inservice testing frequencies are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) is acceptable. | Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions | ||
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] .... | |||
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules. | |||
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." | |||
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. | |||
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves. | |||
==3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION== | |||
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public. | |||
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) requires the licensee to have an inservice testing program that provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components (i.e., pumps and valves). Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing | |||
program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54. Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. | |||
Consideration of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) | |||
The ASME OM Code requires testing to normally be performed within certain time periods. | |||
TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) sets inservice testing frequencies more precisely than those specified in the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda (e.g., "at least once per 31 days" contrasted with "monthly"). However, the NRC staff determined that the more precise inservice testing frequencies are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) is acceptable. | |||
Consideration of TS 5. 5. 8. b (or equivalent) | Consideration of TS 5. 5. 8. b (or equivalent) | ||
TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities, as required by TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program. For each facility, the NRC has authorized the use of ASME Code Case OMN-20, "lnservice Test Frequency," or similar alternatives to the ASME OM Code.2 Like TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent), these NRG-authorized alternatives also permit the licensee to extend the inservice testing intervals specified in the ASME OM Code by up to 25 percent. The NRC staff determined that the TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) allowance to extend inservice testing intervals is not needed to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) is acceptable. | TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities, as required by TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program.

The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. However, the inservice testing frequencies could change because the TSs will no longer include the more precise test frequencies in TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent). As discussed in Section 3.1 of this safety evaluation, the staff determined that the TSs do not need to include the more precise testing frequencies currently in TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent).

DPR-63 EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-220 | |||
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. | ==1.0 INTRODUCTION== | ||
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. | |||
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of | By application dated July 26, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16209A218), as supplemented by letter dated October 6, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16280A402), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No. 1 (NMP-1 ).

), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves. 3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. | |||
In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. | STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent. | ||
Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per | lnservice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part: | ||
Based on this, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.a is acceptable. | Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions | ||
For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Consideration of TS 6.5.4.b TS 6.5.4.b allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program. Similar to TS 6.5.4.b, the NRC authorization of ASME Code Case OMN-20, "lnservice Test Frequency," by letter dated February 21, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. | [referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] .... | ||
The deletion of TS 6.5.4.b does not impact the licensee's ability to extend inservice testing intervals using Code Case OMN-20, as authorized by the NRC. Consideration of TS 6.5.4.c TS 6.5.4.c allows the licensee to use SR 4.0.3 when it discovers that an SR associated with an inservice test was not performed within its specified frequency. | The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules. | ||
SR 4.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring a limiting condition for operation not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. | The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." | ||
The use of SR 4.0.3 for inservice tests is limited to those inservice tests required by an SR. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee may also request relief from the ASME OM Code requirements to address issues associated with a missed inservice test. Deletion of TS 6.5.4.c does not change any of these requirements, and SR 4.0.3 will continue to apply to those inservice tests required by SRs. Based on the above, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.c is acceptable. Consideration of TS 6.5.4.d TS 6.5.4.d states that nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS. However, the regulations in | NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. | ||
Accordingly, there is no need for a TS stating how to address conflicts between the TSs and the inservice testing program because the regulations specify how conflicts must be resolved. | NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves. | ||
==3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION== | |||
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff | |||
considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public. | |||
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 6.5.4 requires the licensee to have an inservice testing program that provides controls for inservice testing of Quality Group A, B, and C pumps and valves. TS 6.5.4.a requires that these pumps and valves be tested in accordance with requirements for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components specified in the applicable Edition and Addenda of the ASME OM Code, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a. Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54. | |||
Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | |||
Based on this, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.a is acceptable. For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. | |||
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.b TS 6.5.4.b allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program. Similar to TS 6.5.4.b, the NRC authorization of ASME Code Case OMN-20, "lnservice Test Frequency," by letter dated February 21, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17046A286), also permits the licensee to extend the inservice testing intervals specified in the ASME OM Code by up to 25 percent. | |||
The NRC staff determined that the TS 6.5.4.b allowance to extend inservice testing intervals is not needed to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.b is acceptable. The deletion of TS 6.5.4.b does not impact the licensee's ability to extend inservice testing intervals using Code Case OMN-20, as authorized by the NRC. | |||
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.c TS 6.5.4.c allows the licensee to use SR 4.0.3 when it discovers that an SR associated with an inservice test was not performed within its specified frequency. SR 4.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring a limiting condition for operation not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The use of SR 4.0.3 for inservice tests is limited to those inservice tests required by an SR. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee may also request relief from the ASME OM Code requirements to address issues associated with a missed inservice test. | |||
Deletion of TS 6.5.4.c does not change any of these requirements, and SR 4.0.3 will continue to apply to those inservice tests required by SRs. Based on the above, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.c is acceptable. | |||
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.d TS 6.5.4.d states that nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS. However, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) address what to do if a revised inservice testing program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility; they require the licensee to apply for an amendment to the TSs to conform the TSs to the revised program at least 6 months prior to the start of the period for which the provisions become applicable. Accordingly, there is no need for a TS stating how to address conflicts between the TSs and the inservice testing program because the regulations specify how conflicts must be resolved. | |||
Conclusion Regarding Deletion of TS 6. 5. 4 The NRC staff determined that the requirements currently in TS 6.5.4 are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of TS 6.5.4 from the licensee's TSs is acceptable, because TS 6.5.4 is not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5). | Conclusion Regarding Deletion of TS 6. 5. 4 The NRC staff determined that the requirements currently in TS 6.5.4 are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.

3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revision to SR 4.2.7 The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.33, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of | 3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revision to SR 4.2.7 The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.33, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | ||
The licensee requested that the reference to "Specification 6.5.4" in SR 4.2.7 be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that SR 4.2.7 refers to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. | The licensee requested that the reference to "Specification 6.5.4" in SR 4.2.7 be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that SR 4.2.7 refers to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that the TSs do not contain any other references to "Specification 6.5.4" or the "lnservice Testing Program." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. Based on its review, the staff determined that revising SR 4.2. 7 to refer to the new definition is acceptable because SR 4.2. 7 will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. | ||
The NRC staff verified that the TSs do not contain any other references to "Specification 6.5.4" or the "lnservice Testing Program." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. | 3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3: | ||
Based on its review, the staff determined that revising SR 4.2. 7 to refer to the new definition is acceptable because SR 4.2. 7 will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | : 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Test Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. | ||
The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. 3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3: 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Test Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. | The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 6.5.4, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED."

The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 6.5.4, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED." The licensee did not propose to renumber the subsequent TS programs. 2. NMP-1 has custom TSs that differ in numbering, titles, and SRs from the improved STS on which TSTF-545, Revision 3, was based. Administrative Controls are in NMP-1 TS Section 6.0, instead of Section 5.0. NMP-1 SR 4.2.7 refers to "Specification 6.5.4," instead of the "lnservice Testing Program." In addition, many of the SRs identified in TSTF-545, Revision 3, are not applicable to NMP-1. The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 290 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-50 EXELON GENERATION COMPANY. LLC THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-289 | |||
==1.0 INTRODUCTION== | |||
By application dated July 26, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16209A218), as supplemented by letter dated October 6, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16280A402), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMl-1 ). Specifically, the licensee requested changes to the TSs consistent with Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-545, Revision 3, ''TS lnservice Testing Program Removal & Clarify SR | |||
[Surveillance Requirement] Usage Rule Application to Section 5.5 Testing,'' dated October 21, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15294A555). The licensee's October 6, 2016, letter revised the scope of the TS changes requested and withdrew the proposed TS changes originally requested in the July 26, 2016, application. | |||
The licensee's proposed changes delete the lnservice Testing Program requirements from TMl-1 TS 4.2, "Reactor Coolant System lnservice and Testing,'' and adds a new defined term, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs. Remaining references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in the TMl-1 TSs are replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" so that TSs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program. | |||
The licensee's application, as supplemented, also requested similar amendments for other Exelon Generation Company, LLC facilities. 1 However, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) staff's safety evaluations for these other facilities are provided separately, and they are not considered in this safety evaluation. | |||
* 1 The other facilities are Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2; Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2; Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1; Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3; LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3; Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; and R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. | |||
Enclosure 22 | |||
==2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION== | |||
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. | |||
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term, "lnservice Testing Program," with the defined term, as denoted by capitalized letters, throughout the TSs. | |||
The NRC approved TSTF-545, Revision 3, by letter dated December 11, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15317A071), and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register (FR) on March 28, 2016 (81 FR 17208). | |||
2.2 Proposed Technical Specifications Changes The licensee requested to delete the lnservice Testing Program requirements from TS 4.2, by deleting TS 4.2.2 and replacing it with the word "DELETED." In addition, references to inservice testing (IST) are removed from the Applicability and Objective sections of TS 4.2. TS 4.2.2 currently states: | |||
IST of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code) and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a, except where specific written relief has been granted by the NRC. | |||
The licensee requested to revise the Definitions section of TSs by adding Definition 1.27, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM,'' with the following definition: 'The INSERVICE TESTING | |||
The | PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The licensee also requested that all existing occurrences of "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs (TMl-1 TS Section 4, "Surveillance Standards") be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that the SRs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program. | ||
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes: | |||
Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports. Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states that "[s]urveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that "[a]dministrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner." | |||
The NRC staff's guidance for review of the TSs is in NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor] | |||
Edition," Chapter 16, "Technical Specifications," Revision 3, dated March 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STSs for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensee's proposed amendment is based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STSs. | |||
The staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent. | |||
lnservice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part: | |||
Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions | |||
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] .... | |||
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules. | |||
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." | |||
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. | |||
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves. | |||
==3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION== | |||
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public. | |||
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 4.2 specifies, in part, requirements for the TMl-1 lnservice Testing Program. TS 4.2.2 requires that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves be tested in accordance with the ASME OM Code and applicable Addenda, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a, unless written relief from these requirements has been granted by the NRC. Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54. Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | |||
The NRC staff determined that the lnservice Testing Program requirements currently in TS 4.2 are not necessary to assure: (1) operation of the facility in a safe manner, or (2) that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of the lnservice Testing Program requirements from TS 4.2 are acceptable because the current requirements in TS 4.2 are not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) or 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). | |||
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revisions to SRs The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.27, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | |||
The licensee also requested that all existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs (TS Section 4) be revised to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to reference the new TS defined term in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. Based on its review, the staff determined that revising the SRs to refer to the new definition is acceptable because these SRs will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. | |||
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3: | |||
: 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 4.2.2, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED." The licensee did not propose to renumber any TSs. | |||
: 2. TMl-1 has custom TSs that differ in numbering, titles, and SRs from the improved STS on which TSTF-545, Revision 3, was based. The lnservice Testing Program is in TMl-1 TS 4.2 instead of TS Section 5.0. In addition, many of the SRs identified in TSTF-545, Revision 3, are not applicable to TMl-1. | |||
The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable. | |||
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revisions to SRs The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.27, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | |||
The licensee also requested that all existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs (TS Section 4) be revised to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to reference the new TS defined term in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. | |||
The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. | |||
Based on its review, the staff determined that revising the SRs to refer to the new definition is acceptable because these SRs will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). | |||
The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. 3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3: 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. | |||

TMl-1 has custom TSs that differ in numbering, titles, and SRs from the improved STS on which TSTF-545, Revision 3, was based. The lnservice Testing Program is in TMl-1 TS 4.2 instead of TS Section 5.0. In addition, many of the SRs identified in TSTF-545, Revision 3, are not applicable to TMl-1. The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable. | |||

- a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during an SG inspection outage, as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 5.5-6 Amendment No. 320 CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 2 Amendment No. 298
Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.
- b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. Steam generator tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
- 1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down), all anticipated transients included in the design specification, and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady-state full power operation primary to secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
- 2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion: The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG. Leakage is not to exceed 100 gpd per SG.

- c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria. Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged.
- d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed. The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws, axial, and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube inlet to the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube outlet, and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria. The tube-to-tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requirements of d.l, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection methods, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. A degradation assessment shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.
- 1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation.
- 2. After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect each SG at least every 72 effective full power months or at least every third refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). In addition, the minimum number of tubes inspected at each scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in all SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each inspection period as defined in a, b, c, and d below. If a degradation CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 5.5-8 Amendment No. 320 CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 2 Amendment No. 298

The fraction of locations to be inspected for this potential type of degradation at this location at the end of the inspection period shall be no less than the ratio of the number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period after the determination that a new form of degradation could potentially be occurring at this location divided by the total number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period. Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspection outage in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection period begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.
a) After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect 100% of the tubes during the next 144 effective full power months. This constitutes the first inspection period; b) During the next 120 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the second inspection period; c) During the next 96 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the third inspection period; and d) During the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 100%

1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated July 26, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16209A218), as supplemented by letter dated October 6, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16280A402), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Braidwood Station (Braidwood),
Units 1 and 2; Byron Station (Byron), Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Calvert Cliffs), Units 1 and 2; Clinton Power Station (Clinton), Unit No. 1; Dresden Nuclear Power Station (Dresden), Units 2 and 3; LaSalle County Station (LaSalle), Units 1 and 2; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point), Unit 2; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (Peach Bottom), Units 2 and 3; Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (Quad Cities), Units 1 and 2; and R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) (the facilities). The licensee's October 6, 2016, letter revised the scope of the TS changes requested and withdrew the proposed TS changes originally requested in the July 26, 2016, application.
Specifically, the licensee requested changes to the TSs consistent with Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-545, Revision 3, "TS lnservice Testing Program Removal & Clarify SR [Surveillance Requirement]
Usage Rule Application to Section 5.5 Testing," dated October 21, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15294A555). For each facility, the licensee's proposed changes delete the lnservice Testing Program from TS Section 5.5, "Programs and Manuals," and adds a new defined term, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs. All existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in the TS SRs, for each facility, are replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" so that the SRs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program.
The licensee's application, as supplemented, also requested similar amendments for Nine Mile Point Unit No. 1, and Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1. However, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) staff's safety evaluations for these plants are provided separately, and they are not considered in this safety evaluation.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, para.meters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term, "lnservice Testing Program," with the defined term, as denoted by capitalized letters, throughout the TSs.
The NRC approved TSTF-545, Revision 3, by letter dated December 11, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15317A071), and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register(FR) on March 28, 2016 (81FR17208).
2.2 Technical Specifications Changes The licensee proposed to delete the lnservice Testing Program from TS Section 5.5 for each facility and replace it with the word "DELETED." Currently, TS 5.5.8, "lnservice Testing Program," for Braidwood, Units 1 and 2, states:
This program provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. The program shall include the following:
- a. Testing frequencies applicable to the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code) and applicable Addenda as follows:
ASME OM Code and applicable Addenda terminology for Required Frequencies inservice testing for performing inservice activities testing activities Weekly At least once per 7 days Monthly At least once per 31 days Quarterly or every 3 months At least once per 92 days Semiannually or every 6 months At least once per 184 days Every 9 months At least once per 276 days Yearly or annually At least once per 366 days Biennially or every 2 years At least once per 731 days;
- b. The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the above required Frequencies and to other normal and accelerated Frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the lnservice Testing Program for performing inservice testing activities;
- c. The provisions of SR 3.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities; and
- d. Nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any Technical Specification.
TS 5.5.8.b, which refers to SR 3.0.2, allows an extension of inservice testing intervals by up to 25 percent. If it is discovered that a surveillance associated with an inservice testing activity was not performed within the required interval, SR 3.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring the associated limiting condition for operation not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The licensee did not request changes to SR 3.0.2 or SR 3.0.3.
The current lnservice Testing Program requirements in TS 5.5.8 for Byron, Units 1 and 2; TS 5.5.6 for Dresden, Units 2 and 3; TS 5.5.8 for Calvert Cliffs, Units 1 and 2; TS 5.5.6 for Clinton; TS 5.5.7 for LaSalle, Units 1 and 2; TS 5.5.6 for Nine Mile Point, Unit 2; TS 5.5.6 for Peach Bottom, Units 2 and 3; TS 5.5.7 for Ginna; and TS 5.5.6 for Quad Cities, Units 1 and 2, are similar to TS 5.5.8 for Braidwood, Units 1 and 2. 1 Aside from the TS numbering, the primary differences from the Braidwood TS 5.5.8 are the following:
- 1. Format and grammar (e.g., use of 'TS" versus "Technical Specification").
- 2. The Dresden, LaSalle, Nine Mile Point Unit 2, and Quad Cities TSs refer to "pumps and "valves" instead of "components" in the first sentence.
- 3. The Ginna TS states "components including applicable supports" instead of just "components" in the first sentence.
- 4. The Dresden, LaSalle, Nine Mile Point Unit 2, and Quad Cities TSs do not have the second sentence, which states: "The program shall include the following:".
- 5. The Dresden, LaSalle, and Quad Cities TSs for the lnservice Testing Program also require that when the ASME OM Code and applicable Addenda specify "Every 1 This safety evaluation uses the phrase 'TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent)" to refer to these current TSs for the lnservice Testing Program.
48 months" the required frequency for performing the testing activity is "At least once per 1461 days."
For each facility, the licensee requested to revise the Definitions section of TSs by adding the term, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The licensee also requested that all existing occurrences of "lnservice Testing Program" in TS SRs, for each facility, be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that the SRs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes:
Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports. Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states that "[s]urveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that "[a]dministrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner."
The NRC staff's guidance for review of the TSs is in NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor]
Edition," Chapter 16, "Technical Specifications," Revision 3, dated March 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STSs for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensee's proposed amendment is based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STSs.
The staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent.
lnseNice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part:
Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] ....
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program."
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves.
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public.
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) requires the licensee to have an inservice testing program that provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components (i.e., pumps and valves). Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing
program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54. Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.
Consideration of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent)
The ASME OM Code requires testing to normally be performed within certain time periods.
TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) sets inservice testing frequencies more precisely than those specified in the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda (e.g., "at least once per 31 days" contrasted with "monthly"). However, the NRC staff determined that the more precise inservice testing frequencies are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) is acceptable.
Consideration of TS 5. 5. 8. b (or equivalent)
TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities, as required by TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent) and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program. For each facility, the NRC has authorized the use of ASME Code Case OMN-20, "lnservice Test Frequency," or similar alternatives to the ASME OM Code. 2 Like TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent), these NRG-authorized alternatives also permit the licensee to extend the inservice testing intervals specified in the ASME OM Code by up to 25 percent.
The NRC staff determined that the TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) allowance to extend inservice testing intervals is not needed to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) is acceptable. The deletion of TS 5.5.8.b (or equivalent) does not impact the licensee's ability to extend inservice testing intervals using Code Case OMN-20 or similar alternatives, as authorized by the NRC.
Consideration of TS 5. 5. 8. c (or equivalent)
TS 5.5.8.c (or equivalent) allows the licensee to use SR 3.0.3 when it discovers that an SR associated with an inservice test was not performed within its specified frequency. SR 3.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring a limiting condition for operation not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The use of SR 3.0.3 for inservice tests is limited to those inservice tests required by an SR In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee may also request relief from the ASME OM Code requirements to address issues associated with a missed inservice test. Deletion of TS 5.5.8.c (or equivalent) does not change any of these requirements, and SR 3.0.3 will continue to apply to those inservice tests required by SRs.
Based on the above, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.8.c (or equivalent) is acceptable.
2 The NRC authorizations were made by letters dated February 14 and October 31, 2013; September 24, 2014; February 26, 2016; and February 21, 2017 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML13042A348, ML13297A515, ML14247A555, ML16022A135, and ML17046A286, respectively).
Consideration of TS 5. 5. 8. d (or equivalent)
TS 5.5.8.d (or equivalent) states that nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS. However, the regulations in 10 CFR 50. 55a(f)(5)(ii) address what to do if a revised inservice testing program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility; they require the licensee to apply for an amendment to the TSs to conform the TSs to the revised program at least 6 months prior to the start of the period for which the provisions become applicable. Accordingly, there is no need for a TS stating how to address conflicts between the TSs and the inservice testing program because the regulations specify how conflicts must be resolved.
Conclusion Regarding Deletion of TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent)
The NRC staff determined that the requirements currently in TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) from the licensee's TSs for each facility is acceptable, because TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) is not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5).
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revision to SRs The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to include the term, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
The licensee requested that all existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs be revised to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" to reference the new TS defined term in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. However, the inservice testing frequencies could change because the TSs will no longer include the more precise test frequencies in TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent). As discussed in Section 3.1 of this safety evaluation, the staff determined that the TSs do not need to include the more precise testing frequencies currently in TS 5.5.8.a (or equivalent). Based on its review, the staff determined that revising the SRs to refer to the new definition is acceptable because these SRs will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes that allow less-precise testing frequencies, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 The licensee's October 6, 2016, letter identified the following deviations from the TSTF-545, Revision 3:
- 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent) from the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 5.5.8 (or equivalent), but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED."
The licensee did not propose to renumber the subsequent TS programs.
- 2. For each facility, some of the numbering for SRs that are modified does not match the numbering in TSTF-545, Revision 3. However, the licensee stated that the SRs are equivalent.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on March 16, 2017. The State officials had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change requirements with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted areas as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes SRs.
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, which was published in the FR on November 8, 2016 (81 FR 78648), that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding. 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.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission'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.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term, "lnservice Testing Program," with the defined term, as denoted by capitalized letters, throughout the TSs.
The NRC approved TSTF-545, Revision 3, by letter dated December 11, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15317A071 ), and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register(FR) on March 28, 2016 (81FR17208).
2.2 Proposed Technical Specifications Changes The licensee requested to delete TS 6.5.4 from the Administrative Controls section of TSs and replace it with the word "DELETED." TS 6.5.4 currently states:
This program provides controls for inservice testing of Quality Group A, B, and C pumps and valves.
- a. lnservice testing of Quality Group A, B, and C pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with requirements for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components specified in the applicable Edition and Addenda of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code), subject to the applicable provisions of 10CFR50.55a;
- b. The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are applicable to the normal and accelerated testing frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the lnservice Testing Program for performing inservice testing activities;
- c. The provisions of Specification 4.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities; and
- d. Nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any Technical Specification.
TS 6.5.4.b, which refers to Specification 4.0.2 (SR 4.0.2), allows an extension of inservice testing intervals by up to 25 percent. If it is discovered that a surveillance associated with an inservice testing activity was not performed within the required interval, Specification 4.0.3 (SR 4.0.3) allows the licensee to delay declaring the associated limiting condition for operation
- not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The licensee did not request changes to SR 4.0.2 or SR 4.0.3.
The licensee requested to revise the Definitions section of TSs by adding Definition 1.33, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The licensee also requested that the reference to "Specification 6.5.4" in SR 4.2.7 be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that SR 4.2.7 refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes:
Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports. Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states that "[s]urveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that "[a]dministrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner."
The NRC staff's guidance for review of the TSs is in NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor]
Edition," Chapter 16, "Technical Specifications," Revision 3, dated March 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STSs for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensee's proposed amendment is based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STSs.
The staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved
STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent.
lnservice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part:
Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] ....
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program."
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves.
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff
considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public.
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 6.5.4 requires the licensee to have an inservice testing program that provides controls for inservice testing of Quality Group A, B, and C pumps and valves. TS 6.5.4.a requires that these pumps and valves be tested in accordance with requirements for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components specified in the applicable Edition and Addenda of the ASME OM Code, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a. Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54.
Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
Based on this, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.a is acceptable. For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the inservice testing program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.b TS 6.5.4.b allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between inservice testing activities and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the inservice testing program. Similar to TS 6.5.4.b, the NRC authorization of ASME Code Case OMN-20, "lnservice Test Frequency," by letter dated February 21, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17046A286), also permits the licensee to extend the inservice testing intervals specified in the ASME OM Code by up to 25 percent.
The NRC staff determined that the TS 6.5.4.b allowance to extend inservice testing intervals is not needed to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.b is acceptable. The deletion of TS 6.5.4.b does not impact the licensee's ability to extend inservice testing intervals using Code Case OMN-20, as authorized by the NRC.
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.c TS 6.5.4.c allows the licensee to use SR 4.0.3 when it discovers that an SR associated with an inservice test was not performed within its specified frequency. SR 4.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring a limiting condition for operation not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The use of SR 4.0.3 for inservice tests is limited to those inservice tests required by an SR. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee may also request relief from the ASME OM Code requirements to address issues associated with a missed inservice test.
Deletion of TS 6.5.4.c does not change any of these requirements, and SR 4.0.3 will continue to apply to those inservice tests required by SRs. Based on the above, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 6.5.4.c is acceptable.
Consideration of TS 6.5.4.d TS 6.5.4.d states that nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS. However, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) address what to do if a revised inservice testing program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility; they require the licensee to apply for an amendment to the TSs to conform the TSs to the revised program at least 6 months prior to the start of the period for which the provisions become applicable. Accordingly, there is no need for a TS stating how to address conflicts between the TSs and the inservice testing program because the regulations specify how conflicts must be resolved.
Conclusion Regarding Deletion of TS 6. 5. 4 The NRC staff determined that the requirements currently in TS 6.5.4 are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of TS 6.5.4 from the licensee's TSs is acceptable, because TS 6.5.4 is not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5).
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revision to SR 4.2.7 The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.33, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
The licensee requested that the reference to "Specification 6.5.4" in SR 4.2.7 be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that SR 4.2.7 refers to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that the TSs do not contain any other references to "Specification 6.5.4" or the "lnservice Testing Program." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. Based on its review, the staff determined that revising SR 4.2. 7 to refer to the new definition is acceptable because SR 4.2. 7 will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3:
- 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Test Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs.
The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 6.5.4, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED." The licensee did not propose to renumber the subsequent TS programs.
- 2. NMP-1 has custom TSs that differ in numbering, titles, and SRs from the improved STS on which TSTF-545, Revision 3, was based. Administrative Controls are in NMP-1 TS Section 6.0, instead of Section 5.0. NMP-1 SR 4.2.7 refers to "Specification 6.5.4,"
instead of the "lnservice Testing Program." In addition, many of the SRs identified in TSTF-545, Revision 3, are not applicable to NMP-1.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New York State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment on March 16, 2017. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes requirements with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes SRs.
The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves 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, which was published in the FR on November 8, 2016 (81 FR 78648), that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendment meets 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 amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission'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.

Enclosure 22
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code) provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), paragraph 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the lnservice Testing Program. The elimination of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF 545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term, "lnservice Testing Program," with the defined term, as denoted by capitalized letters, throughout the TSs.
The NRC approved TSTF-545, Revision 3, by letter dated December 11, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15317A071), and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register (FR) on March 28, 2016 (81 FR 17208).
2.2 Proposed Technical Specifications Changes The licensee requested to delete the lnservice Testing Program requirements from TS 4.2, by deleting TS 4.2.2 and replacing it with the word "DELETED." In addition, references to inservice testing (IST) are removed from the Applicability and Objective sections of TS 4.2. TS 4.2.2 currently states:
IST of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code) and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a, except where specific written relief has been granted by the NRC.
The licensee requested to revise the Definitions section of TSs by adding Definition 1.27, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM, with the following definition: 'The INSERVICE TESTING
PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The licensee also requested that all existing occurrences of "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs (TMl-1 TS Section 4, "Surveillance Standards") be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," so that the SRs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes:
Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports. Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states that "[s]urveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that "[a]dministrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner."
The NRC staff's guidance for review of the TSs is in NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor]
Edition," Chapter 16, "Technical Specifications," Revision 3, dated March 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STSs for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensee's proposed amendment is based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STSs.
The staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved STSs, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent.
lnservice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include inservice testing of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part:
Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)] ....
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard, which is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code inservice testing program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program."
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020), provides guidance for the inservice testing of pumps and valves.
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the inservice testing program for pumps and valves.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application, as supplemented, to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) (i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the license, the staff considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54. Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public.
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 4.2 specifies, in part, requirements for the TMl-1 lnservice Testing Program. TS 4.2.2 requires that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves be tested in accordance with the ASME OM Code and applicable Addenda, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a, unless written relief from these requirements has been granted by the NRC. Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f), which specifies the requirements for the inservice testing of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an inservice testing program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54. Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an inservice testing program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
The NRC staff determined that the lnservice Testing Program requirements currently in TS 4.2 are not necessary to assure: (1) operation of the facility in a safe manner, or (2) that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of the lnservice Testing Program requirements from TS 4.2 are acceptable because the current requirements in TS 4.2 are not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) or 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revisions to SRs The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to add Definition 1.27, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545, Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the inservice testing requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
The licensee also requested that all existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs (TS Section 4) be revised to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to reference the new TS defined term in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. Based on its review, the staff determined that revising the SRs to refer to the new definition is acceptable because these SRs will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3:
- 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 4.2.2, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "DELETED." The licensee did not propose to renumber any TSs.
- 2. TMl-1 has custom TSs that differ in numbering, titles, and SRs from the improved STS on which TSTF-545, Revision 3, was based. The lnservice Testing Program is in TMl-1 TS 4.2 instead of TS Section 5.0. In addition, many of the SRs identified in TSTF-545, Revision 3, are not applicable to TMl-1.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Pennsylvania State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment on March 16, 2017. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes requirements with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes SRs.
The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves 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, which was published in the FR on November 8, 2016 (81 FR 78648), that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendment meets 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 amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission'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.
