2.0 REGULATORYEVALUATION
2.1 Description of lnservice Testing Requirements and TSTF-545 An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a structure, system, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The ASME OM Code provides requirements for inservice testing (IST) of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, pressure relief devices, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(f), "lnservice testing requirements," requires that IST of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The facility's TSs also prescribe IST requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part, "[i]f a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program." TSTF-545, Revision 3, provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," and the TSs. TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes elimination of the IST program from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. The TSs contain surveillances that require testing or test intervals in accordance with the IST program.
The elimination of the IST program from the TSs could cause uncertainty regarding the correct application of these SRs. Therefore, TSTF-545, Revision 3, also proposes adding a new definition, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," to the TSs, which would be defined as "the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." TSTF-545, Revision 3, proposes replacement of existing uses of the term "lnservice Testing Program" with the defined term, as denoted by capital letters throughout the TSs.
The NRC approved TSTF-545, Revision 3, by letter dated December 11, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15317A071) and published a notice of availability in the Federal Register on March 28, 2016 (81 FR 17208).
2.2 Proposed Technical Specifications Changes The licensee requested to delete TS 5.5.6 from the Administrative Controls section of the TSs and replace it with the word "Deleted." TS 5.5.6 currently states:
This program provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves.
- a. Testing Frequencies applicable to the ASME Code for Operations and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code) and applicable Addenda as follows:
ASME OM Code and applicable Required Frequencies Addenda terminology for for performing inservice lnservice testing activities testing activities Weekly At least once per 7 days Monthly At least once per 31 days Quarterly or every 3 months At least once per 92 days Semiannually or every 6 months At least once per 184 days Every 9 months At least once per 276 days Yearly or annually At least once per 366 days Biennially or every 2 years At least once per 731 days
- b. The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the above required Frequencies and to other normal and accelerated Frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the lnservice Testing Program for performing inservice testing activities;
- c. The provisions of SR 3.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities; and
SR 3.0.2 allows an extension of IST intervals by up to 25 percent. If it is discovered that a surveillance associated with an IST activity was not performed within the required interval, SR 3.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring the associated limiting condition for operation (LCO) not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The licensee did not request changes to SR 3.0.2 or SR 3.0.3.
The licensee requested to revise the Definitions section of the TSs by adding the term "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The licensee also requested that all existing occurrences of "lnservice Testing Program" in the TS SRs be replaced with "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" so that the SRs refer to the new definition in lieu of the deleted program.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing information during its review of the proposed changes:
Technical Specifications Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR requires TSs to include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) SRs; (4) design features; (5) administrative controls; (6) decommissioning; (7) initial notification; and (8) written reports.
Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states that "[s]urveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and
components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that "[a]dministrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner."
The NRC staff's guidance for review of the TSs is in NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor]
Edition," Chapter 16, "Technical Specifications," Revision 3, March 201 O (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STS for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensee's proposed amendments are based on TSTF-545, Revision 3, which is an NRG-approved change to the improved STS. The NRC staff's review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3. Special attention is given to TS provisions that depart from the improved STS, as modified by NRG-approved TSTF travelers, to determine whether proposed differences are justified by uniqueness in plant design or other considerations so that 10 CFR 50.36 is met.
In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the intent of the TSs.
lnservice Testing Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include IST of pumps and valves at nuclear power reactors in accordance with the ASME OM Code as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f) state, in part:
Systems and components of boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME BPV [Boiler and Pressure Vessel] Code and ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants as specified in this paragraph. Each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear facility is subject to the following conditions
[referring to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(1) through (f)(6)].
The ASME OM Code is a consensus standard that is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. During the incorporation process, the NRC staff reviewed the ASME OM Code requirements for technical sufficiency and found that the ASME OM Code IST program requirements were suitable for incorporation into the NRC's rules.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55(a)(f)(5)(ii) states, in part: "If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specifications for the facility, the licensee must apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specifications to the revised program."
NUREG-1482, Revision 2, "Guidelines for lnservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants: lnservice Testing of Pumps and Valves and lnservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints
(Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants," Final Report, October 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13295A020) provides guidance for the IST of pumps and valves.
NUREG-0800, Section 3.9.6, "Functional Design, Qualification, and lnservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints," Revision 3, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070720041 ), provides guidance and acceptance criteria for the NRC staff review of the IST program for pumps and valves.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and licensing information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation. In determining whether an amendment to a license will be issued, the Commission is guided by the considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses to the extent applicable and appropriate. Among the considerations are whether the TSs, as amended, would provide the necessary administrative controls per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5)
(i.e., provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner). In making its determination as to whether to amend the licenses, the NRC staff considered those regulatory requirements that are automatically conditions of the license through 10 CFR 50.54.
Where the regulations already condition the license, there is no need for a duplicative requirement in the TSs; the regulations provide the necessary reasonable assurance of the health and safety of the public.
3.1 Deletion of the lnservice Testing Program from the TSs TS 5.5.6 requires the licensee to have an IST program that provides controls for IST of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components (i.e., pumps and valves). Through 10 CFR 50.54, the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a are conditions of every nuclear power reactor operating license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. These requirements include 10 CFR 50.55a(f),
which specifies the requirements for the IST of pumps and valves. Therefore, requiring the licensee to have an IST program in TSs is duplicative of the license condition in 10 CFR 50.54.
Thus, with the proposed TS changes, the licensee will still be required to maintain an IST program in accordance with the ASME OM Code, as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). For the reasons explained below, it is not necessary to have additional administrative controls in the TSs relating to the IST program to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.
Consideration of TS 5. 5. 6. a The ASME OM Code requires testing to normally be performed within certain time periods.
TS 5.5.6.a sets IST frequencies more precisely than those specified in the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda (e.g., "at least once per 31 days" contrasted with "monthly"). However, the NRC staff determined that the more precise IST frequencies are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.6.a is acceptable.
Consideration of rs 5. 5. 6. b TS 5.5.6.b allows the licensee to extend, by up to 25 percent, the interval between IST activities, as required by TS 5.5.6.a, and for other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the IST program. Similar to TS 5.5.6.b, the NRC authorization of ASME Code Case OMN-20 by letter dated February 16, 2017, also permits the licensee to extend the IST intervals specified in the ASME OM Code by up to 25 percent.
The NRC staff determined that the TS 5.5.6.b allowance to extend IST intervals is not needed to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.6.b is acceptable. The deletion of TS 5.5.6.b does not impact the licensee's ability to extend IST intervals using Code Case OMN-20, as authorized by the NRC.
Consideration of rs 5. 5. 6. c TS 5.5.6.c allows the licensee to use SR 3.0.3 when it discovers that an SR associated with an inservice test was not performed within its specified frequency. SR 3.0.3 allows the licensee to delay declaring an LCO not met in order to perform the missed surveillance. The use of SR 3.0.3 for inservice tests is limited to those inservice tests required by an SR In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee may also request relief from the ASME OM Code requirements to address issues associated with a missed inservice test. Deletion of TS 5.5.6.c does not change any of these requirements, and SR 3.0.3 will continue to apply to those inservice tests required by SRs. Based on the above, the NRC staff determined that deletion of TS 5.5.6.c is acceptable.
Consideration of rs 5. 5. 6. d TS 5.5.6.d states that nothing in the ASME OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS. However, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) address what to do if a revised IST program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility. The regulations require the licensee to apply for an amendment to the TSs to conform the TSs to the revised program at least 6 months prior to the start of the period for which the provisions become applicable. Accordingly, there is no need for a TS stating how to address conflicts between the TSs and the IST program because the regulations specify how conflicts must be resolved.
Conclusion Regarding Deletion of rs 5. 5. 6 The NRC staff determined that the requirements currently in TS 5.5.6 are not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Based on this evaluation, the staff concludes that deletion of TS 5.5.6 from the licensee's TSs is acceptable because TS 5.5.6 is not required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5).
3.2 Definition of INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM and Revision to SRs The licensee proposes to revise the TS Definitions section to include the term "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" with the following definition: "The INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is the licensee program that fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)." The proposed definition of the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is consistent with the definition in TSTF-545,
Revision 3. The definition is acceptable to the NRC staff because it correctly refers to the IST requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
The licensee requested that all existing references to the "lnservice Testing Program" in SRs be revised to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM" to reference the new TS-defined term in lieu of the deleted program. The proposed change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3, to replace the current references in SRs with the new definition. The NRC staff verified that for each SR reference to the "lnservice Testing Program," the licensee proposed to change the reference to "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The proposed change does not alter how the SR testing is performed. However, the IST frequencies could change because the TSs will no longer include the more precise test frequencies in TS 5.5.6.a. As discussed in Section 3.1 of this SE, the staff determined that the TSs do not need to include the more precise testing frequencies currently in TS 5.5.6.a. Based on its review, the staff determined that revising the SRs to refer to the new definition is acceptable because these SRs will continue to be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The staff also determined that, with the proposed changes that allow less-precise testing frequencies, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) will continue to be met because the SRs will continue to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the LCOs will be met.
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-545 In its application, the licensee identified the following deviations from TSTF-545, Revision 3:
- 1. TSTF-545, Revision 3, completely deletes TS 5.5.6 from the TSs and renumbers the subsequent TS programs. The licensee proposes to delete the content of TS 5.5.6, but retains the TS number, and adds the word "Deleted." The licensee did not propose to renumber the subsequent TS programs.
- 2. Some of the numbering and wording for SRs that are modified does not match TSTF-545, Revision 3. However, the licensee stated that the SRs are equivalent.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed deviations are editorial in nature and the licensee's proposed TS changes remain consistent with the intent of TSTF-545, Revision 3. Therefore, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed TS changes are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the North Carolina State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on June 22, 2017. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTALCONSIDERATION The amendment changes requirements with respect to the 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 published in the FR on December 6, 2016 (81 FR 87967). 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 the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
