FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT FOR THE EARLIER OF 32 EFFECTIVE FULL POWER YEARS OR APRIL 22,2017 Revision 0 Prepared by: Dennis BlakeI Reviewed by: -!d Kevin Butnworth Approved by:4Keinier K iZellers Date: 3) 32 EFPY PTLR Rev. 0 Page 2 of 9 FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Davis-Besse Unit 1 Pressure and Temperature Limits Report for the Earlier of 32 Effective Full Power Years or April 22, 2017 1.0 Introduction This Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) provides the information required by Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS) Technical Specification 5.6.4 to ensure that the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure boundary is operated in accordance with its design.The PTLR provides the RCS Operating Limits in Section 2.0, which satisfies Technical Specification 5.6.4.a. The Analytical Methods used to develop the limits, including determination of the vessel neutron fluence, are provided in Section 3.0, fulfilling Technical Specification 5.6.4.b. The information and formatting of Section 3 follows the guidance of Attachment 1 to Generic Letter 96-03. The PTLR requirements are provided in Section 4.0 of the report, fulfilling Technical Specification 5.6.4.c.Revisions to the PTLR are to be submitted to the NRC after issuance.2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits a. The Reactor Coolant System (except the pressurizer) temperature and pressure shall be limited in accordance with the limit lines and ramp rates shown on Figures 1, 2, and 3 (Reference 5.7) during heatup, cooldown, criticality, and in-service leak and hydrostatic (ISLH) testing with: 1. A maximum heatup of 50'F in any one hour period, and 2. A maximum cooldown of 1 00&deg;F in any one hour period with a cold leg temperature of > 2701F and a maximum cooldown of 50&deg;F in any one hour period with a cold leg temperature of < 270 0 F.b. During periods of low temperature operation (Tavg <280 'F), Technical Specification 3.4.12 (Reference 5.3) provides additional requirements for RCS pressure and temperature limits. Those limits are maintained in the Technical Specifications because they are not determined using methods generically approved by the NRC.

Table 1 provides the neutron fluence values used in the adjusted reference temperature calculations.
The listed fluence values are based on 52 EFPY of operation.
The limits in Section 2 are administratively limited as described in Section 3.1 based on the current Operating License of Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.3.3 The Davis-Besse Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program complies with the requirements of Appendix H to 10 CFR 50 and is described in BAW-1543A (Reference 5.6). This information was approved by the NRC in the SER of Amendment 199 (Reference 5.1). The specimen capsule withdrawal schedule is contained within the supplements of the topical report. All plant specific specimen capsules have been withdrawn from the reactor vessel. The ART values were not calculated using surveillance data (Reference 5.14) since it was determined to be non-credible.
3.4 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) limits are addressed in Section 2.b, above, and Technical Specification 3.4.12 (Reference 5.3).Reference

the methods used to determine the temperature at which LTOP must be active. The pressure limit was determined using ASME Section XI, Appendix G, as modified by the alternative rules provided in ASME Code Case N-588 and ASME Code Case N-640 (Reference 5.9).3.5 Table 1 provides the Adjusted Reference Temperature (ART) for each reactor vessel beltline material.
The ART values were calculated in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2. For welds in the reactor beltline region, the initial RTNDT values used (in part) to determine ART were calculated using an alternate methodology described in the NRC-approved BAW-2308, Revisions 1-A and 2-A (Reference 5.10). The NRC required licensees to obtain an exemption from 10 CFR 50.61 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix G to use the alternate initial RTNDT values provided in BAW-2308 Revisions 1-A and 2-A. The required exemption was granted by the NRC in Reference 5.17. The NRC confirmed the limits and conditions for using the methodology were satisfied in the SER of Amendment 282 (Reference 5.8).3.6 The Pressure-Temperature (P/T) limits of Section 2 and Figures 1, 2, and 3 (with applicability as stated in 3.1) were generated consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix G and Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, using the methods described in BAW-10046A (Reference 5.4) and ASME Section XI, 32 EFPY PTLR Rev. 0 Page 7 of 9 Appendix G (Reference 5.9), as modified by the alternative rules provided in ASME Code Case N-588 and ASME Code Case N-640.3.6.1 The NRC has reviewed the methods described in BAW-10046A (Reference 5.4) and approved the topical report by issuance of a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated April 30, 1986. Section 1.2 of BAW-10046A states that it is applicable to all current B&W nuclear steam systems.3.6.2 ASME Code Cases N-640 and N-588 have been incorporated into ASME Section XI, Appendix G, 2003 Addenda, which are the edition and addenda codified in 10 CFR 50.55a (effective May 27, 2008) and thus may be used per NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2004-04. Specific approval for application at DBNPS is included in Ref. 5.8.3.7 The minimum temperature requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix G are included on Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 provides the In-Service Leak and Hydrostatic (ISLH) Test Limits. These limits were calculated in accordance with the requirements of 1OCFR50, Appendix G and ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G, 1995 Edition, with Addenda through 1996 and ASME Code Cases N-588 and N-640.3.8 Davis-Besse has removed more than two surveillance capsules.
The capsule test results have been evaluated and found to be non-credible (Reference 5.14).Consequently, ART calculations are not based on the surveillance data. The Measured ARTNDT -Predicted ARTNDT data scatter was less than 2a, so the Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2 Chemistry Table values used in the ART calculations are conservative.
4.0 PTLR Requirements 4.1 The PTLR has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.4 (see Reference 5.11). The PTLR shall be provided to the NRC upon issuance for each reactor vessel fluence period and for any revision or supplement thereto. Davis-Besse will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, and any changes to the Davis-Besse P/T limits will be generated in accordance with the NRC approved methodologies described in TS 5.6.4.
