1.0 DESCRIPTION

Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) requests adoption of TSTF-591-A Revision 0, "Revise Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) Program," (Reference 1) which is an approved change to the Standard Technical Specifications (STS), into the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications (TS).

TSTF-591-A revises the TS Section 5.5 Programs and Manuals, "Risk Informed Completion Time Program," to reference Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200, Revision 3 (Reference 2), instead of Revision 2, and to make other changes. A new report is added to TS Section 5.6, "Reporting Requirements," to inform the NRC of newly developed methods used to calculate a RICT.

2.0 ASSESSMENT

2.1 Applicability of Safety Evaluation

CEG has reviewed the safety evaluation for TSTF-591-A provided to the Technical Specifications Task Force in a letter dated September 21, 2023. This review included the NRC staffs evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-591. CEG has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-591-A and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant TS and justify this amendment for incorporation of the changes to the aforementioned plants TS.

This application contains no changes to each licensees Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) that would be considered a Newly Developed Method, in accordance with the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG) topical report, PWROG-19027-NP, Revision 2, Newly Developed Method Requirements and Peer Review, issued July 2020 (Refence 3), as endorsed in Regulatory Guide 1.200 Acceptability of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities, Revision 3.

2.2 Variations

CEG is proposing the following variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-591-A or the applicable parts of the NRC staffs safety evaluation.

CEG proposes changes to the Facility Operating License (FOL) pages for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. The change to the FOL pages removes the paragraph under the 10 CFR 50.69 Risk-informed categorizations and treatment of structures, systems and components for nuclear power plants that illustrates

Page l 1 Constellation License Amendment Request Adoption of TSTF-591-A Rev 0 and modifications to FOL Pages

programmatic implementation conditions of 10 CFR 50.69. The paragraph includes reference to RG 1.200, Revision 2. Adopting TSTF-591-A for the RICT program and not removing reference to RG 1.200 Revision 2 for the 50.69 program would create a conflict in guidance for the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model which both programs use. Additionally, since each above station has implemented the 10 CFR 50.69 program, these implementation conditions are no longer relevant. Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2 have recently eliminated this paragraph in license amendments 261 and 223, respectively, in the NRC SE (ML23094A171), and Limerick Generating Station TS Appendix C SE (ML23089A124).

The LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 licenses contain a condition that serves the same purpose as Paragraph e in TSTF-505, Revision 2, "Provide Risk -

Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative 4b." CEG proposes to remove the license condition since, because each above station has implemented the Risk-Informed Completion Time Program, these implementation conditions are no longer relevant.

Some CEG plants TS utilize different numbering and titles than the STS on which TSTF-591-A was based. These differences are administrative and do not affect the applicability of TSTF-591-A. The following table describes the different numbering from TSTF-591-A s new STS Section 5.6. These section numbers are reaffirmed in the inserts in Attachment 2.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis

CEG requests adoption of TSTF-591-A, Revise Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT)

Program, which is an approved change to the Standard Technical Specifications (STS),

into the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications (TS). TSTF-591-A revises the TS Section 5.5 Programs and Manuals, "Risk Informed Completion Time Program," to reference Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200, "Acceptability of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities,"

Revision 3, instead of Revision 2, and to make other changes. A new report is added to TS Section 5.6, "Reporting Requirements," to inform the NRC of newly developed methods used to calculate a RICT. Additionally, CEG is requesting the removal of

Page l 2 Constellation License Amendment Request Adoption of TSTF-591-A Rev 0 and modifications to FOL Pages

certain stations Facility Operating License condition sections associated with the implementation of the 10 CFR 50.69 and Risk-Informed Completion Time programs.

CEG has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendments by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No

The proposed change updates the standard for maintaining and updating PRA models used to calculate a RICT from NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2, to NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 3. A new report is added to inform the NRC when a newly developed method is used.

The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated because the change involves no change to the plant or its modes of operation. The proposed change does not increase the consequences of an accident because the design-basis mitigation function of the affected systems is not changed and the consequences of an accident during the extended Risk Informed Completion Time are no different from those during the existing Completion Time. The submittal of information-only reports has no effect on the initiators or consequences of any accidents previously evaluated. The requested change to remove certain stations Facility Operating License condition sections associated with the implementation of the 10 CFR 50.69 and Risk-Informed Completion Time programs has no effect on the initiators or consequences of any accidents previously evaluated.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change updates the standard for maintaining and updating PRA models used to calculate a RICT from NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2, to NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 3. A new report is added to inform the NRC when a newly developed method is used.

Additionally, the proposed change removes certain stations Facility Operating License condition sections associated with the implementation of the 10 CFR 50.69 and Risk-Informed Completion Time programs.

The proposed change does not change a design function or method of operation of the plant. The proposed change does not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different kind of equipment will be installed).

Page l 3 Constellation License Amendment Request Adoption of TSTF-591-A Rev 0 and modifications to FOL Pages

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No

The proposed change updates the standard for maintaining and updating PRA models used to calculate a RICT from NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2, to NRC-approved Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 3. A new report is added to inform the NRC when a newly developed method is used.

Additionally, the proposed change removes certain stations Facility Operating License condition sections associated with the implementation of the 10 CFR 50.69 and Risk-Informed Completion Time programs.

The proposed change supports the extension of Completion Times provided risk is assessed and managed in accordance with the NRC-approved RICT Program. The proposed change does not alter any design basis or safety limits.

The proposed change affects the standard used to maintain the PRA models used in the RICT Program by changing from one NRC-approved standard to a later NRC-approved version and requiring submittal of an information-only report. The RICT Program will continue to assure that adequate margins of safety are maintained. The removal of certain stations Facility Operating License conditions does not alter any design basis or safety limits.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, CEG concludes that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),

and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

3.2 Conclusion

In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (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 Commissions 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.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

A review has determined that the proposed amendments would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20 or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendments do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed

Page l 4 Constellation License Amendment Request Adoption of TSTF-591-A Rev 0 and modifications to FOL Pages

amendments meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendments.
