1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, Commission) dated May 26, 2006 (Accession No. ML061570157), as supplemented on December 26, 2006 (Accession No. ML070030517), and March 14, 2007, Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M, or the licensee) requested an amendment to the Renewed Facility Operating License for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2). The licensees supplements provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2006.
The proposed amendment would revise the existing steam generator (SG) tube surveillance program. The changes are modeled after Technical Specification (TS) Task Force (TSTF) traveler TSTF-449, Revision 4, Steam Generator Tube Integrity, and the model safety evaluation (SE) prepared by the NRC staff and published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2005 (70 FR 10298). In this regard, the scope of the application includes changes to the definition of leakage, changes to the primary-to-secondary leakage requirements, changes to the SG tube surveillance program (SG tube integrity), changes to the SG reporting requirements, and associated changes to the TS Bases.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The background, description, and applicability of the proposed changes associated with the SG tube integrity issue and the applicable regulatory requirements were included in the NRC staffs model SE published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2005 (70 FR 10298). The Notice of Availability of Model Application Concerning Technical Specification Improvement To Modify Requirements Regarding Steam Generator Tube Integrity Using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2005 (70 FR 24126), and made the model SE available for licensees to reference.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Overview In its May 26, 2006, application, and December 26, 2006, supplement, the licensee proposed changes to the TSs that are modeled after TSTF Standard TS Change Traveler, TSTF-449, Steam Generator Tube Integrity. There were minor differences between TSTF-449 and the licensee's application. These included differences in the facility licensing bases from those discussed in TSTF-449, and differences in TS numbering. These differences are discussed below.
With respect to the differences in the facility licensing basis, the differences did not invalidate the technical evaluation on TSTF-449; rather they resulted in the licensee having to slightly deviate from some of the modifications discussed in TSTF-449. The only significant deviations are described in the two paragraphs below.
In the Bases sections for Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage, TSTF-449 indicated that the 150 gallons per day limit is measured at room temperature. However, the licensees offsite dose analysis assumes primary-to-secondary leakage is at normal operating temperature. Since DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 have a different licensing basis than the one described in the standard TSs (i.e., TSTF-449), the licensee indicated that prior to comparison with the 150 gallons per day TS limit, the measured primary-to-secondary leakage (which is determined at room temperature) is multiplied by a volume correction factor of 1.52. The correction factor ensures that the primary-to-secondary leakage assumptions in the offsite dose analysis are not exceeded. In addition, since the units design and licensing basis assumptions regarding primary-to-secondary leakage during a steamline break accident differ from those in TSTF-449, the licensee did not incorporate the modifications suggested in TSTF-449, since they were not appropriate.
The other significant deviation is contained in the Bases Section for SG Tube Integrity. In TSTF-449, the accident analysis for a steam generator tube rupture assumes the contaminated secondary fluid is only briefly released to the atmosphere via safety valves and the majority is discharged to the main condenser. However, the licensees accident analysis assumes that the contaminated secondary fluid is released to the atmosphere via the SG power-operated relief valves. Since the units accident analysis differs from that assumed in TSTF-449, the licensee did not incorporate the text from TSTF-449; rather, the licensee incorporated a sentence that reflects its accident analysis. In summary, the differences described in this paragraph and the one above are minor in nature, are consistent with the plant's licensing basis, or are consistent with the intent of TSTF-449. Accordingly, the NRC staff has determined that they are acceptable.
With respect to the differences in numbering of the TSs, these differences were administrative in nature and did not affect the technical adequacy of the licensees application. As a result, the NRC staff determined that these differences in numbering were acceptable.
The remainder of the application was consistent with, or more limiting than, TSTF-449.
In summary, and for the reasons discussed above, the NRC staff has determined that the model SE is applicable to the licensees application for amendment per TSTF-449, and finds the proposed changes acceptable.
Consistent with TSTF-449, the licensees proposed TS changes include: (1) a revised definition of LEAKAGE; (2) a revised TS 3.4.13, "Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage;" (3) a new TS 3.4.17, Steam Generator (SG) Tube Integrity; (4) a revised TS 5.5.7, SG Program; (5) a revised TS 5.6.7, "SG Tube Inspection Report;" and (6) a revised Table of Content pages to reflect the proposed changes.
3.2 Summary of NRC Staff Review The licensees proposed TS changes establish a programmatic, largely performance-based regulatory framework for ensuring that SG tube integrity is maintained. The NRC staff finds that the changes address key shortcomings of the current framework by ensuring that SG programs are focused on accomplishing the overall objective of maintaining tube integrity. The changes incorporate performance criteria for evaluating tube integrity that the NRC staff finds consistent with the structural margins and the degree of leak tightness assumed in the current plant licensing basis. The NRC staff finds that maintaining these performance criteria provides reasonable assurance that the SGs can be operated safely without increase in risk.
The revised TSs will contain limited specific details concerning how the SG Program is to achieve the required objective of maintaining tube integrity; the intent being that the licensee will have the flexibility to determine the specific strategy for meeting this objective. However, the NRC staff finds that the revised TSs include sufficient regulatory constraints on the establishment and implementation of the SG Program such as to provide reasonable assurance that tube integrity will be maintained.
Failure to meet the performance criteria will be reportable pursuant to the requirements in 10 CFR Sections 50.72 and 50.73. The NRC Reactor Oversight Process provides a process by which the NRC staff can verify that the licensee has identified any SG Program deficiencies that may have contributed to such an occurrence, and that appropriate corrective actions have been implemented.
In conclusion, the NRC staff finds that the TS changes proposed by the licensee in its May 26, 2006, application, and December 26, 2006, supplement, conform to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 and establish a TS framework that will provide reasonable assurance that SG tube integrity is maintained without undue risk to public health and safety. A complete list of references used to complete this review can be found in the NRCs model SE published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2005 (70 FR 10298).
The licensee included in its application proposed TS Bases change pages to be implemented with the subject amendment. The NRC staff finds that the TS Bases Control Program, which is a licensee-controlled program, is the appropriate process for updating the affected TS Bases pages. Accordingly, the NRC staff did not review the TS Bases changes pages as part of this amendment review.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. 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 that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (71 FR 38183). 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) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
