By application dated July 10, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 14191A255), as supplemented by letter dated April 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15120A284), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (CCNPP), RE. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna), and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP2). The supplement dated April 30, 2015, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register (FR) on May 12, 2015 (80 FR 27197). Specifically, the licensee requested to adopt U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523, Revision 2 (TSTF-523), "Generic Letter [GL] 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation," (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13053A075) dated February 21, 2013. The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the FR on January 15, 2014 (79 FR 2700), as part of the consolidated line item improvement process. Enclosure 5 The proposed changes for CCNPP would add new Surveillance Requirements (SRs) related to gas accumulation for the shutdown cooling (SOC) system, the emergency core cooling system (ECCS), and the containment spray (CS) system. The proposed changes for Ginna would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the residual heat removal (RHR) system, the ECCS, and the CS system. The proposed changes for NMP2 would revise SRs related to gas accumulation for the ECCS, and reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system, and would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the RHR system. The proposed changes to the TS bases for each plant were included in the application for informational purposes. The licensee stated that it has reviewed the information contained in the model safety evaluation dated December 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13255A 169), and the license amendment request (LAR) is consistent with NRG-approved TSTF-523.

==1.0     INTRODUCTION==
 
By application dated July 10, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14191A255), as supplemented by letter dated April 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15120A284), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee),
requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (CCNPP), RE. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna), and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP2). The supplement dated April 30, 2015, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register (FR) on May 12, 2015 (80 FR 27197).
Specifically, the licensee requested to adopt U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523, Revision 2 (TSTF-523), "Generic Letter [GL] 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation," (ADAMS Accession No. ML13053A075) dated February 21, 2013. The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the FR on January 15, 2014 (79 FR 2700), as part of the consolidated line item improvement process.
Enclosure 5
 
The proposed changes for CCNPP would add new Surveillance Requirements (SRs) related to gas accumulation for the shutdown cooling (SOC) system, the emergency core cooling system (ECCS), and the containment spray (CS) system. The proposed changes for Ginna would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the residual heat removal (RHR) system, the ECCS, and the CS system. The proposed changes for NMP2 would revise SRs related to gas accumulation for the ECCS, and reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system, and would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the RHR system. The proposed changes to the TS bases for each plant were included in the application for informational purposes.
The licensee stated that it has reviewed the information contained in the model safety evaluation dated December 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13255A169), and the license amendment request (LAR) is consistent with NRG-approved TSTF-523.

2.1    Background Gas accumulation in reactor systems can result in water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of non-condensable gas into the reactor vessel. These effects may result in the subject system being unable to perform its specified safety function. The NRC issued GL 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems," in January 2008 to address the issue of gas accumulation in the ECCS, decay heat removal (OHR), and CS systems (ADAMS Accession No. ML072910759). The industry and NRC staff agreed that a change to the STS and plant-specific TS would be necessary to address some issues discussed in GL 2008-01. The TSTF-523 contains changes to the TS SRs and TS Bases to address some of the concerns in GL 2008-01.
The licensee proposed amending the CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 TSs using a plant-specific adoption of the TSTF-523 changes.
2.2    Technical Specification Changes The proposed changes for CCNPP include revisions to SRs 3.5.2.2 and 3.6.6.1, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.6.4, 3.4.7.4, 3.4.8.3, 3.5.2.10, 3.6.6.9, 3.9.4.2, and 3.9.5.4 to TS 3.4.6, "RCS Loops - MODE 4," TS 3.4. 7, "RCS Loops - MODE 5, Loops Filled," TS 3.4.8, "RCS Loops

- Water Level<::: 23 Ft," and TS 3.9.5, "RHR and Coolant Circulation - Water Level< 23 Ft,"
respectively.
The proposed changes for NMP2 include revisions to SRs 3.5.1.1, 3.5.1.2, 3.5.2.3, 3.5.2.4, 3.5.3.1, and 3.5.3.2, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.9.2, 3.4.10.2, 3.6.2.3.3, 3.6.2.4.3, 3.9.8.2, and 3.9.9.2 to TS 3.4.9, "RHR Shutdown Cooling System - Hot Shutdown," TS 3.4.10, "RHR

TS 3.6.2.4, "RHR Suppression Pool Spray," TS 3.9.8, "RHR - High Water Level," and TS 3.9.9, "RHR- Low Water Level," respectively.
2.3    Regulatory Review The regulations in Appendix A to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR) Part 50, or similar plant-specific principal design criteria, provide design requirements. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, the TSs, and the licensee quality assurance programs provide operating requirements. The regulatory requirements of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 applicable to gas management in the subject systems include General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Regulations in GDC 1 require that the subject systems be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards. Also, GDC 34 requires an RHR system designed to maintain specified acceptable fuel design limits and to meet design conditions that are not exceeded if a single failure occurs and specified electrical power systems fail. Regulations in GDC 35, 36, and 37 require an ECCS design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements. Additionally, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.46 provide specified ECCS performance criteria. Regulations in GDC 38, 39, and 40 require a containment heat removal (CHR) system design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements.
The construction permits for CCNPP were issued by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) on July 7, 1969, and the operating licenses were issued on July 31, 1974, for Unit No. 1, and August 13, 1976, for Unit No. 2. The AEC published the final rule that added 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," in the FR (36 FR 3255) on February 20, 1971, with the rule becoming effective on May 21, 1971. As stated in SECY 223, dated September 18, 1992, the Commission decided not to apply the Appendix A GDC to plants with construction permits issued prior to May 21, 1971. The CCNPP updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR), Revision 47, dated September 19, 2014, states that the plant was designed and constructed to meet the intent of the GDC published in July 1967. The plant's GDC are discussed in the UFSAR, Appendix 1C, "AEC Proposed General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants."
Ginna was initially licensed to meet the design criteria from the Atomic Industrial Forum issued for comment by the AEC in 1967. As such, a review of the Ginna plant-specific requirements was performed against the requirements in the current Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. From this review, the NRC staff determined that the two sets of requirements are sufficiently similar, as related to the proposed change, so as not to warrant a separate discussion of the Ginna plant-specific requirements. Therefore, the remaining discussions pertaining to Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 in this safety evaluation are assumed to be applicable to the CCNPP and Ginna design criteria.
Quality assurance criteria provided in Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 applicable to gas management in the subject systems include: Criteria Ill, V, XI, XVI, and XVII. Criteria Ill and V require measures to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2, "Definitions," and as specified in the license application, are correctly translated into controlled specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Criterion XI requires a test program to ensure that the subject systems will perform satisfactorily while in service, and requires that test results shall be documented and evaluated to ensure that test

requirements have been satisfied. Criterion XVI requires measures to ensure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Criterion XVI requires that significant conditions adverse to quality are documented and reported to management. Criterion XVII requires maintenance of records of activities affecting quality.
2.1 Background Gas accumulation in reactor systems can result in water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of non-condensable gas into the reactor vessel. These effects may result in the subject system being unable to perform its specified safety function. The NRC issued GL 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems," in January 2008 to address the issue of gas accumulation in the ECCS, decay heat removal (OHR), and CS systems (ADAMS Accession No. ML072910759). The industry and NRC staff agreed that a change to the STS and plant-specific TS would be necessary to address some issues discussed in GL 2008-01. The TSTF-523 contains changes to the TS SRs and TS Bases to address some of the concerns in GL 2008-01. The licensee proposed amending the CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 TSs using a plant-specific adoption of the TSTF-523 changes. 2.2 Technical Specification Changes The proposed changes for CCNPP include revisions to SRs 3.5.2.2 and 3.6.6.1, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.6.4, 3.4.7.4, 3.4.8.3, 3.5.2.10, 3.6.6.9, 3.9.4.2, and 3.9.5.4 to TS 3.4.6, "RCS Loops -MODE 4," TS 3.4. 7, "RCS Loops -MODE 5, Loops Filled," TS 3.4.8, "RCS Loops -MODE 5, Loops Not Filled," TS 3.5.2, "ECCS -Operating," TS 3.6.6, "Containment Spray and Cooling Systems," TS 3.9.4, "SOC and Coolant Circulation -High Water Level," and TS 3.9.5, "SOC and Coolant Circulation -Low Water Level," respectively. The proposed changes for Ginna include revisions to SRs 3.5.2.2, 3.5.3.1, 3.6.6.2, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.6.4, 3.4.7.4, 3.4.8.3, 3.5.2.8, 3.6.6.16, 3.9.4.2, and 3.9.5.3 to TS 3.4.6, "RCS Loops -MODE 4," TS 3.4.7, "RCS Loops -MODE 5, Loops Filled," TS 3.4.8, "RCS Loops MODE 5, Loops Not Filled," TS 3.5.2, "ECCS -MODES 1, 2, and 3," TS 3.5.3, "ECCS -MODE 4," TS 3.6.6, "CS, CRFC, and NaOH Systems," TS 3.9.4, "RHR and Coolant Circulation -Water Level<::: 23 Ft," and TS 3.9.5, "RHR and Coolant Circulation -Water Level< 23 Ft," respectively. The proposed changes for NMP2 include revisions to SRs 3.5.1.1, 3.5.1.2, 3.5.2.3, 3.5.2.4, 3.5.3.1, and 3.5.3.2, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.9.2, 3.4.10.2, 3.6.2.3.3, 3.6.2.4.3, 3.9.8.2, and 3.9.9.2 to TS 3.4.9, "RHR Shutdown Cooling System -Hot Shutdown," TS 3.4.10, "RHR Shutdown Cooling System -Cold Shutdown," TS 3.5.1, "ECCS -Operating," TS 3.5.2, "ECCS -Shutdown," TS 3.5.3, "RCIC System," TS 3.6.2.3, "RHR Suppression Pool Cooling," TS 3.6.2.4, "RHR Suppression Pool Spray," TS 3.9.8, "RHR -High Water Level," and TS 3.9.9, "RHR-Low Water Level," respectively. 2.3 Regulatory Review The regulations in Appendix A to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR) Part 50, or similar plant-specific principal design criteria, provide design requirements. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, the TSs, and the licensee quality assurance programs provide operating requirements.

Criterion XVI requires that significant conditions adverse to quality are documented and reported to management. Criterion XVII requires maintenance of records of activities affecting quality. The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in 10 CFR 50.36(c). As required by 10 CFR 50.36(c), the TSs must include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs [Limiting Conditions for Operation]; (3) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. SRs are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, facility operation will be within safety limits, and LCOs will be met. Typically, TS Section 5 requires that licensees establish, implement, and maintain written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)." Appendix A to RG 1.33 identifies instructions for filling and venting the ECCS and OHR systems, as well as for draining and refilling heat exchangers. STSs and most licensee TSs include SRs to verify that at least some of the subject systems' piping is filled with water. The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to CCNPP, can be found in NUREG-1432, "Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants." The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to Ginna, can be found in NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants." The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to NMP2, can be found in both NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/4 Plants," and NUREG-1434, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/6 Plants." The NRC staff recognizes that NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition," is not the regulatory basis of the proposed TSs changes, and that the licensee is not required to confirm that the SRP guidance is applicable to CCNPP, Ginna, or NMP2. Regulatory guidance for the NRC staff's review of CHR systems, ECCS, and RHR systems is provided in the following revisions and sections of the SRP:

The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change for NMP2, against the applicable regulatory guidance in the STS, as modified by TSTF-523. The staff also compared the proposed changes to the existing SRs, as well as the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36.
The staff determined that the proposed change adopted the TS format and content, to the extent practicable, contained in the changes made to NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants BWR/4," by TSTF-523.
3.4      Technical Evaluation Conclusions The new language in the proposed SRs for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 were developed using licensee responses to GL 2008-01, and the NRC discussion contained in Task Interface Agreement (TIA) 2008-03, "Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Voiding Relative To Compliance With Surveillance Requirements (SR) 3.5.1.1, 3.5.2.3, and 3.5.3.1" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082560209). Several of the GL 2008-01 responses stated that licensees identified system locations that were susceptible to gas accumulation. In the TIA, the NRC stated that the intent of the TS SRs (which states "full of water") may be met if the licensee can establish that there is a reasonable expectation that the system in question will perform its specified safety function through an Operability Determination. Therefore, the phrase, "sufficiently filled with water" was recommended for the proposed TS changes. In the TS, "sufficiently filled with water" is understood to mean "sufficiently filled with water to support Operability." The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) states that one of the purposes of the SR is to verify that the LCO is met. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the new SR language, "Verify the [system name] locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," is acceptable since this language will allow the licensee to make a conclusion as to whether or not a system is Operable.
For NMP2, language is provided in the notes for SR 3.4.9.2 stating that the SR does not have to be performed until [[estimated NRC review hours::12 hours]] after entering Mode 3 with reactor steam dome pressure less than the RHR cut-in permissive pressure. For CCNPP and Ginna, language is provided in the notes for SR 3.4.6.4 stating that the SR does not have to be performed until [[estimated NRC review hours::12 hours]] after entering Mode 4. The NRC staff finds that the language provided for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 is acceptable because the notes provide a limited time to perform the Surveillance after entering the Applicability of the LCO. As described in TSTF-523, Revision 2, during a rapid shutdown, there may be insufficient time to verify all susceptible locations in the system before entering the Applicability. A 12-hour limit to perform the surveillance requirement takes into account the time needed to perform these surveillance requirements in a controlled manner following a rapid shutdown. Also, under the STS usage rules {STS Section 1.4 ), the requirement to manage gas
 
accumulation is not affected. Licensees must have confidence that the SR can be met or the LCO must be declared not met.
For CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 the frequency for the proposed SRs is 31 days. As stated in TSTF-523, Revision 2, the 31-day frequency is based on the gradual nature of gas accumulation and the procedural controls governing system operation.
The language for the notes that allow the SRs to not be met for system vent flow paths opened under administrative control is necessary to allow the licensee to credit administratively controlled manual action to close the system vent flow path in order to maintain system Operability during system venting and performance of the proposed gas accumulation SR.
Therefore, the NRC staff finds these notes are acceptable.
The NRC staff determined that the proposed changes to the SRs for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 because they provide assurance that the necessary quality of systems and components will be maintained and that the LCO will be met.
Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 acceptable.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated July 10, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14191A255), as supplemented by letter dated April 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15120A284), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee),

requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (CCNPP), RE. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna), and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP2). The supplement dated April 30, 2015, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register (FR) on May 12, 2015 (80 FR 27197).

Specifically, the licensee requested to adopt U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523, Revision 2 (TSTF-523), "Generic Letter [GL] 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation," (ADAMS Accession No. ML13053A075) dated February 21, 2013. The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the FR on January 15, 2014 (79 FR 2700), as part of the consolidated line item improvement process.

Enclosure 5

The proposed changes for CCNPP would add new Surveillance Requirements (SRs) related to gas accumulation for the shutdown cooling (SOC) system, the emergency core cooling system (ECCS), and the containment spray (CS) system. The proposed changes for Ginna would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the residual heat removal (RHR) system, the ECCS, and the CS system. The proposed changes for NMP2 would revise SRs related to gas accumulation for the ECCS, and reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system, and would add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the RHR system. The proposed changes to the TS bases for each plant were included in the application for informational purposes.

The licensee stated that it has reviewed the information contained in the model safety evaluation dated December 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13255A169), and the license amendment request (LAR) is consistent with NRG-approved TSTF-523.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1 Background Gas accumulation in reactor systems can result in water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of non-condensable gas into the reactor vessel. These effects may result in the subject system being unable to perform its specified safety function. The NRC issued GL 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems," in January 2008 to address the issue of gas accumulation in the ECCS, decay heat removal (OHR), and CS systems (ADAMS Accession No. ML072910759). The industry and NRC staff agreed that a change to the STS and plant-specific TS would be necessary to address some issues discussed in GL 2008-01. The TSTF-523 contains changes to the TS SRs and TS Bases to address some of the concerns in GL 2008-01.

The licensee proposed amending the CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 TSs using a plant-specific adoption of the TSTF-523 changes.

2.2 Technical Specification Changes The proposed changes for CCNPP include revisions to SRs 3.5.2.2 and 3.6.6.1, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.6.4, 3.4.7.4, 3.4.8.3, 3.5.2.10, 3.6.6.9, 3.9.4.2, and 3.9.5.4 to TS 3.4.6, "RCS Loops - MODE 4," TS 3.4. 7, "RCS Loops - MODE 5, Loops Filled," TS 3.4.8, "RCS Loops

- Water Level<::: 23 Ft," and TS 3.9.5, "RHR and Coolant Circulation - Water Level< 23 Ft,"

respectively.

The proposed changes for NMP2 include revisions to SRs 3.5.1.1, 3.5.1.2, 3.5.2.3, 3.5.2.4, 3.5.3.1, and 3.5.3.2, and the addition of new SRs 3.4.9.2, 3.4.10.2, 3.6.2.3.3, 3.6.2.4.3, 3.9.8.2, and 3.9.9.2 to TS 3.4.9, "RHR Shutdown Cooling System - Hot Shutdown," TS 3.4.10, "RHR

Shutdown Cooling System - Cold Shutdown," TS 3.5.1, "ECCS - Operating," TS 3.5.2, "ECCS

TS 3.6.2.4, "RHR Suppression Pool Spray," TS 3.9.8, "RHR - High Water Level," and TS 3.9.9, "RHR- Low Water Level," respectively.

2.3 Regulatory Review The regulations in Appendix A to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR) Part 50, or similar plant-specific principal design criteria, provide design requirements. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, the TSs, and the licensee quality assurance programs provide operating requirements. The regulatory requirements of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 applicable to gas management in the subject systems include General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Regulations in GDC 1 require that the subject systems be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards. Also, GDC 34 requires an RHR system designed to maintain specified acceptable fuel design limits and to meet design conditions that are not exceeded if a single failure occurs and specified electrical power systems fail. Regulations in GDC 35, 36, and 37 require an ECCS design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements. Additionally, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.46 provide specified ECCS performance criteria. Regulations in GDC 38, 39, and 40 require a containment heat removal (CHR) system design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements.

The construction permits for CCNPP were issued by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) on July 7, 1969, and the operating licenses were issued on July 31, 1974, for Unit No. 1, and August 13, 1976, for Unit No. 2. The AEC published the final rule that added 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," in the FR (36 FR 3255) on February 20, 1971, with the rule becoming effective on May 21, 1971. As stated in SECY 223, dated September 18, 1992, the Commission decided not to apply the Appendix A GDC to plants with construction permits issued prior to May 21, 1971. The CCNPP updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR), Revision 47, dated September 19, 2014, states that the plant was designed and constructed to meet the intent of the GDC published in July 1967. The plant's GDC are discussed in the UFSAR, Appendix 1C, "AEC Proposed General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants."

Ginna was initially licensed to meet the design criteria from the Atomic Industrial Forum issued for comment by the AEC in 1967. As such, a review of the Ginna plant-specific requirements was performed against the requirements in the current Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. From this review, the NRC staff determined that the two sets of requirements are sufficiently similar, as related to the proposed change, so as not to warrant a separate discussion of the Ginna plant-specific requirements. Therefore, the remaining discussions pertaining to Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 in this safety evaluation are assumed to be applicable to the CCNPP and Ginna design criteria.

Quality assurance criteria provided in Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 applicable to gas management in the subject systems include: Criteria Ill, V, XI, XVI, and XVII. Criteria Ill and V require measures to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2, "Definitions," and as specified in the license application, are correctly translated into controlled specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Criterion XI requires a test program to ensure that the subject systems will perform satisfactorily while in service, and requires that test results shall be documented and evaluated to ensure that test

requirements have been satisfied. Criterion XVI requires measures to ensure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Criterion XVI requires that significant conditions adverse to quality are documented and reported to management. Criterion XVII requires maintenance of records of activities affecting quality.

The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in 10 CFR 50.36(c). As required by 10 CFR 50.36(c), the TSs must include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs [Limiting Conditions for Operation]; (3) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. SRs are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, facility operation will be within safety limits, and LCOs will be met. Typically, TS Section 5 requires that licensees establish, implement, and maintain written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)." Appendix A to RG 1.33 identifies instructions for filling and venting the ECCS and OHR systems, as well as for draining and refilling heat exchangers. STSs and most licensee TSs include SRs to verify that at least some of the subject systems' piping is filled with water.

The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to CCNPP, can be found in NUREG-1432, "Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants."

The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to Ginna, can be found in NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants." The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs, with respect to NMP2, can be found in both NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/4 Plants," and NUREG-1434, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/6 Plants."

The NRC staff recognizes that NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition," is not the regulatory basis of the proposed TSs changes, and that the licensee is not required to confirm that the SRP guidance is applicable to CCNPP, Ginna, or NMP2.

Regulatory guidance for the NRC staff's review of CHR systems, ECCS, and RHR systems is provided in the following revisions and sections of the SRP:

  • Revision 3 of the SRP, Section 6.2.2, "Containment Heat Removal Systems," dated March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070160661) provides the procedures concerning the review of CHR systems under post-accident conditions to help ensure compliance with GDC 38, 39, and 40.

The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change for NMP2, against the applicable regulatory guidance in the STS, as modified by TSTF-523. The staff also compared the proposed changes to the existing SRs, as well as the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36.

The staff determined that the proposed change adopted the TS format and content, to the extent practicable, contained in the changes made to NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants BWR/4," by TSTF-523.

3.4 Technical Evaluation Conclusions The new language in the proposed SRs for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 were developed using licensee responses to GL 2008-01, and the NRC discussion contained in Task Interface Agreement (TIA) 2008-03, "Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Voiding Relative To Compliance With Surveillance Requirements (SR) 3.5.1.1, 3.5.2.3, and 3.5.3.1" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082560209). Several of the GL 2008-01 responses stated that licensees identified system locations that were susceptible to gas accumulation. In the TIA, the NRC stated that the intent of the TS SRs (which states "full of water") may be met if the licensee can establish that there is a reasonable expectation that the system in question will perform its specified safety function through an Operability Determination. Therefore, the phrase, "sufficiently filled with water" was recommended for the proposed TS changes. In the TS, "sufficiently filled with water" is understood to mean "sufficiently filled with water to support Operability." The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) states that one of the purposes of the SR is to verify that the LCO is met. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the new SR language, "Verify the [system name] locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," is acceptable since this language will allow the licensee to make a conclusion as to whether or not a system is Operable.

For NMP2, language is provided in the notes for SR 3.4.9.2 stating that the SR does not have to be performed until 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> after entering Mode 3 with reactor steam dome pressure less than the RHR cut-in permissive pressure. For CCNPP and Ginna, language is provided in the notes for SR 3.4.6.4 stating that the SR does not have to be performed until 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> after entering Mode 4. The NRC staff finds that the language provided for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 is acceptable because the notes provide a limited time to perform the Surveillance after entering the Applicability of the LCO. As described in TSTF-523, Revision 2, during a rapid shutdown, there may be insufficient time to verify all susceptible locations in the system before entering the Applicability. A 12-hour limit to perform the surveillance requirement takes into account the time needed to perform these surveillance requirements in a controlled manner following a rapid shutdown. Also, under the STS usage rules {STS Section 1.4 ), the requirement to manage gas

accumulation is not affected. Licensees must have confidence that the SR can be met or the LCO must be declared not met.

For CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 the frequency for the proposed SRs is 31 days. As stated in TSTF-523, Revision 2, the 31-day frequency is based on the gradual nature of gas accumulation and the procedural controls governing system operation.

The language for the notes that allow the SRs to not be met for system vent flow paths opened under administrative control is necessary to allow the licensee to credit administratively controlled manual action to close the system vent flow path in order to maintain system Operability during system venting and performance of the proposed gas accumulation SR.

Therefore, the NRC staff finds these notes are acceptable.

The NRC staff determined that the proposed changes to the SRs for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 because they provide assurance that the necessary quality of systems and components will be maintained and that the LCO will be met.

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes for CCNPP, Ginna, and NMP2 acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Maryland and New York State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State officials had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments change requirements with respect to 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 that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding May 12, 2015 (80 FR 27197). 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 these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
