Background

By letter dated January 30, 2017, (Reference 1), Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (Exelon) submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, requesting changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) requirements related to Operations with a Potential for Draining the Reactor Vessel (OPDRVs) with new requirements on Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control (RPV WIG) to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires reactor vessel water level to be greater than the top of active irradiated fuel. The requested TS changes were submitted based on Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-542, "Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control," Revision 2.

In a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) electronic mail message dated August 2, 2017, the NRG indicated that it had reviewed the information submitted in the Reference 1 submittal pertaining to the proposed LAR and requested additional information to support its continued review. The Reference 2 electronic mail message identified NRG questions, which were further discussed during an August 2, 2017, teleconference between Exelon and NRG representatives.

The questions from the Reference 2 electronic mail message are identified below followed by Exelon's response. The updated TS mark-up pages included in this response supersede those same pages that were submitted in the Reference 1 letter.

Technical Specifications Branch (STSB)

PBAPS-STSB-RAl-1 Please propose separate mark-up pages for each unit for pages 3.3-47a, 3.3-47b, 3.3-47c, 3.3-47d, 3.5-15, 3.5-16, 3.5-17, and 3.5-18 since PBAPS Units 2 and 3 use separate TSs.

The pages, as included in the original LAR, are labeled "PBAPS UNITS 2 & 3" at the bottom.

Response

As requested, unit-specific TS pages have been created for Pages 3.3-47a, 3.3-47b, 3.3-47c, 3.3-47d, 3.5-15, 3.5-16, 3.5-17, and 3.5-18. In addition, a minor editorial formatting change was also made to TS Page 3.3-47a for both units. Specifically, the term "Not Used" was added in the upper right-hand portion of the page to ensure consistency in TS page formatting. The updated TS pages are included in Attachment 2 of this response.

PBAPS-STSB-RAI 2 In the proposed mark-up for TS page 3.3-47b, the positioning of the "NOTE" (i.e., "Separate Condition entry is allowed for each channel") is not consistent with TSTF-542. Because of the existing placement (i.e., above the word "ACTIONS"), it appears as though the note is meant to apply to the APPLICABILITY and not the ACTIONS table of LCO 3.3.5.4. Please

Response to RAI Application to Revise TS to Adopt TSTF-542 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 2 of 7 provide a revised mark-up of this TS page consistent with TSTF-542 (i.e., with note located below the word "ACTIONS'J, or justify this deviation.

Response

As requested, TS Page 3.3-47b was revised for both units to relocate the "Note" to below the word "ACTIONS" as depicted below. The updated TS pages are included in Attachment 2 of this response.

Should read:

CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIM E PBAPS-STSB-RAI 3 The PBAPS Unit 2 TS mark-up for page 3.3-54 has what appears to be an open parentheses mark after Function 5.a of Table 3.3.6.1-1, page 3 of 3. This differs from the mark-up for PBAPS Unit 3 and is not consistent with TSTF-542. Please provide a revised mark-up of this TS page consistent with TSTF-542, or justify this deviation.

Response

As requested, TS Page 3.3-54 was revised for Unit 2 to correct the discrepancy with the open parentheses marking after Function 5.a, RWCU Flow-High, on Table 3.3.6.1-1 (Page 3 of 3).

After further review, it was determined that the open parentheses marking was inadvertently placed in the wrong location on the page. The open parentheses marking should have preceded the RWCU acronym that was included in the description for Function 5, Reactor Water Cleanup RWCU) System Isolation, as depicted below. The updated Unit 2 TS page is included in of this response.

Should read:

In Exelon's proposal, Condition E is phrased as "Required Action and associated completion time of Condition C and D not met." In TSTF-542, Condition Eis phrased as "Required Action and associated completion time of Condition C or D not met." Please provide a revised mark-up of this TS page consistent with TSTF-542, or justify this deviation.

Response

As requested, TS Section 3.5.4, Condition Eon TS Page 3.5-17, was revised for both units as depicted below to reflect the comparable language as provided in TSTF-542. The word "and" in the statement "Required Action and associated completion time of Condition C and D not met" has been replaced with the word "or" consistent with the TSTF guidance. The updated TS pages are included in Attachment 2 of this response.

PBAPS-STSB-RAI 5 Exelon's proposed wording of PBAPS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 3.5.4.4 and 3.5.4.5 differs from TSTF-542 in that the proposed SRs retain the word 'each' to describe the required EGGS injection/spray subsystem. TSTF-542 replaced SR 3.5.4.4's word 'each' with

'the' while SR 3.5.4.5's word 'each' is replaced with 'for the.' Please provide a revised mark-up of this TS page consistent with TSTF-542, or justify this deviation.

Response to RAI Application to Revise TS to Adopt TSTF-542 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 4 of 7

Response

As requested, TS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 3.5.4.4 and 3.5.4.5 on TS Page 3.5-18, were revised for both units as depicted below to reflect the wording consistent with the TSTF-542 guidance. Specifically, the word "each" was replaced with the word "the" in TS SR 3.5.4.4, and the word "each" was replaced with the phrase "for the" in TS SR 3.5.4.5. The updated TS pages are included in Attachment 2 of this response.

Should read:

correct position.

PBAPS-STSB-RAI 6 Exelon's proposed wording of PBAPS SR 3.5.4.8 differs from both the TSTF-542 mark-up of SR 3.5.2.8 and PBAPS current TS SR 3.5.2.6. The TSTF-542 wording for the corresponding SR is: "Verify the required EGGS injection/spray subsystem actuates on a manual initiation signal."

The justification in the LAR on page 2 of 5 of Attachment 1 states:

EGG proposes to revise PBAPS TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.5.4.8 and TS Bases 3.3.5.4 to clarify that for manual initiations PBAPS utilizes hand switches in lieu of push buttons.

There are currently no functions in PBAPS TS Table 3.3.5.1-1 for manual initiation of the

Response to RAI Application to Revise TS to Adopt TSTF-542 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 5 of 7 Core Spray (CS) and Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPG/) systems. Please clarify whether the hand switches identified initiate CS and LPG/ actuation, or if these hand switches only start the pumps, requiring operators to manually align the other CS and LPG/ components for injection. Please further explain and provide additional justification for the wording proposed in the LAR.

Response

The response to this question is separated into two parts.

1) Please clarify whether the hand switches identified initiate CS and LPG/ actuation, or if these hand switches only start the pumps, requiring operators to manually align the other CS and LPG/ components for injection.

• The Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) hand switches referenced in the LAA only start I stop the associated ECCS pump. Licensed Operators will manually align the ECCS train (valves) from their associated remote control switches (located in the Main Control Room (MCA)) or locally for injection as required for makeup.

2) Please further explain and provide additional justification for the wording proposed in the LAR.

The additional justification for the wording proposed in the LAA is provided below.

• ECCS manual pushbutton actuation utilizes ECCS auto initiation logic such that use of a pushbutton will automatically actuate multiple ECCS pumps. For Residual Heat Removal (AHR), when either loop's pushbutton is armed and depressed, ALL AHR pumps will start and injection valves will align. For CS, when a loop pushbutton is armed and depressed, the associated CS loop's pumps will start and injection valves will align. ECCS manual pushbuttons provide a backup method of injection to the automatic Design Basis Accident (OBA) Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) response provided by the initiation logic. ECCS Manual pushbuttons are not currently required by PBAPS TS. Automatic ECCS (OBA LOCA) initiation logic is required in Modes 1, 2 and 3 and not Modes 4 and 5 (Reference Table 3.3.5.1-1 Pages 1 and 2 Functions 1a, 1b, 1c and Functions 2.a, 2.b and 2.c). Use of ECCS manual pushbuttons will exceed the expected makeup requirements of most water inventory control leaks. Each ECCS train injection capability will likely far exceed the expected makeup requirements from a water inventory control leak.

• Use of the hand control switches for the pumps and valves from the MCA to align the required ECCS train for injection provides controlled makeup for potential water inventory control leaks. Because of the restrictions on DRAIN TIME, sufficient time will be available following an unexpected draining event to manually align and initiate ECCS train(s) to maintain Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) level above Top of Active Fuel (TAF).

Response to RAI Application to Revise TS to Adopt TSTF-542 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 6 of 7

• This injection alignment method is consistent with the current allowance for manual re-alignment (remote or local) of RHR from decay heat removal (Shutdown Cooling) operations.

PBAPS-STSB-RAI 7 The required channels per function of proposed function 3.a of proposed Table 3.3.5.4-1 appears to be incorrect in two ways. Firstly, since function 3.a comes from existing PBAPS Table 3.3.6.1-1, the removed note at the bottom of the page seems to indicate that only one channel per trip system may be needed. Additionally, when compared to corresponding function of Table 3.3.5.2-1 of TSTF-542, it appears to be missing the text "In one trip system" after the numeral 2" in the 'Required Channels per Function' column.

The column header of PBAPS current TS Table 3.3.6.1-1 is entitled "REQUIRED CHANNELS PER TRIP SYSTEM" as described in the approved TSTF traveler model safety evaluation. Please provide justification for the existing markups or provide new markups for function 3.a of proposed Table 3.3.5.4-1 for each unit.

Response

Consistent with TSTF-542, PBAPS relocated the RHR Shutdown Cooling (SOC) Isolation Function 6.b, "Reactor Vessel Water level - Low (Level 3)" for Modes 4 and 5 from Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS) Instrumentation Table 3.3.6.1-1 to Table 3.3.5.4 Function 3.a. Table 3.3.6.1-1 utilizes "REQUIRED CHANNELS PER TRIP SYSTEM" whereas Table 3.3.5.4 utilizes "REQUIRED CHANNELS PER FUNCTION." Consistent with TSTF-542, PBAPS design consists of two trip systems with two channels per trip system. The isolation function requires one channel from each trip system to initiate the isolation. The isolation function must be maintained operable to exclude RHR SOC penetration flow paths from the DRAIN TIME calculation. The isolation function is operable when one channel from each trip system is operable or tripped.

The RHR SOC penetration flow path has two series isolation valves (i.e., M0-017 and M0-018).

Either isolation valve will isolate the penetration. Operability of the isolation function requires either of these valves to be operable to isolate the penetration.

Current PBAPS TS Instrumentation Section 3.3 tables do not utilize the verbiage "in one trip system," in the "required channels" column. When the Table 3.3.6.1-1 Function 6.b was moved to Table 3.3.5.4 Function 3.a, the existing convention was maintained. This deviation is administrative in nature and does not conflict with the intent of TSTF-542.

Current PBAPS TS Table 3.3.6.1-1 contains a NOTE that allows one channel per trip system for either isolation valve when RHR SOC system integrity is maintained for Modes 4 and 5. TSTF-542 excludes RHR SOC penetration flow paths from the DRAIN TIME calculation if either the flow path can be isolated by the automatic SOC isolation or by maintaining the system in an intact closed loop configuration (i.e., when system integrity is maintained). The new TSTF-542 requirements for use of the isolation function to exclude RHR SOC penetration flow paths from the DRAIN TIME calculation conflict with the previous Table 3.3.6.1-1, Page 3 of 3, note.

Therefore, the note is proposed for deletion.

Response to RAI Application to Revise TS to Adopt TSTF-542 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 7 of 7 PBAPS-STSB-RAI 8 The required channels per function of proposed function 4.a of proposed Table 3.3.5.4-1 appears to be missing the text "In one trip system" after the numeral 2" in the 'Required Channels per Function' column when compared to the corresponding function of Table 3.3.5.2-1 of TSTF-542. The column header of PBAPS current TS Table 3.3.6.1-1 is entitled "REQUIRED CHANNELS PER TRIP SYSTEM" as described in the approved TSTF traveler model safety evaluation. Please provide justification for the existing markup or provide a new markup for that function for each unit.

Response

Consistent with TSTF-542, the PBAPS design consists of two trip systems with two channels per trip system. The isolation function requires one channel from each trip system to initiate the isolation. The isolation function must be maintained operable to exclude RWCU penetration flow paths from the DRAIN TIME calculation. The isolation FUNCTION is operable when one channel from each trip system is operable or tripped.

The RWCU penetration flow path has two series isolation valves (i.e., M0-015 and M0-018) .

Either isolation valve will isolate the penetration. Operability of the isolation function requires either of these valves to be operable to isolate the penetration.

Current PBAPS TS Instrumentation Section 3.3 tables do not utilize the verbiage "in one trip system," in the "required channels" column. When the Table 3.3.5.4 Function 4.a was added, the existing convention was maintained. This deviation is administrative in nature and does not conflict with the intent of TSTF-542.
