Pre-submittal Meeting for Expedited License Amendment Request Main Control Room (MCR) Chiller Completion Time Extension

February 15, 2023 Agenda

  • Introduction
  • Background
  • Current Technical Specification (TS) Requirements
  • Reason for the Proposed Change
  • Revised MCR Chiller Replacement Schedule
  • Proposed Technical Specification Changes
  • Changes to MCR TDescription emporary Chilled Water Equipment
  • Schedule Milestones
  • Closing Remarks

2 Introduction

  • The purpose of this meeting is to discuss a proposed expedited license amendment request (LAR) for WBN Units 1 and 2.
  • There are no technical changes or changes to the TS compensatory measures associated with the proposed amendment.
  • The proposed change is due to delays in the vendor delivery of the MCR CREATCS chillers, which were beyond the control of TVA.

l 3

Background

  • 5/19/2020 - TVA submits the LAR to modify the WBN Units 1 and TS for MCR completion time extension (ML20140A342). LAR includes technical information on the MCR CREATCS replacement project including the temporary chilled water system to be utilized during the MCR CREATCS replacement project.

l 4 Current TS Requirements Units 1 and 2 - TS 3.7.11 Footnote for Action A.1

l 5 Current TS Requirements Units 1 and 2 - TS 3.7.11 Footnote for Action E.1

l 6 Reason for the Proposed Change

  • Due to unforeseen supplier chain issues, TVA is unable to meet the current TS date range of May 1, 2022, to May 1, 2023, for the MCR chiller replacement as required by the existing footnotes to the Completion Time for WBN Units 1 and 2 TS 3.7.11, Required Actions A.1 and E.1.
  • As shown in Table 1, the new MCR chillers have not yet been received and are not scheduled to commence installation until the third quarter 2023.
  • TVA has received confirmation from the supplier vendor that they can currently meet the delivery dates for the MCR chillers.

l 8 Proposed TS Changes

  • Revise the current start and end dates in the footnotes to TS 3.7.11, Required Actions A.1 and E.1 to July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, respectively (provides a margin for any potential further schedule delays).

Reflects the current MCR replacement schedule (allowing for margin for any potential further schedule delays).

Requires expedited NRC review and approval of the LAR because NRC approval would be required no later than June 15, 2023 (allowing 15 days for implementation).

  • Differences between the currently planned MCR temporary chiller equipment description and the MCR temporary chiller equipment description in Section 3.1 to the previous LAR and the NRC Regulatory Audit Summary (ML21012A084) are provided in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. There are no changes to the MCR temporary chiller equipment description in the previous TVA RAI response (ML20351A424).
  • The compensatory measures listed in the previous LAR and the NRC SE remain unchanged.
