1.0 DESCRIPTION

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (hereafter "NSPM"), hereby requests adoption of TSTF-554, Revision 1, "Revise Reactor Coolant Leakage Requirements," which is an approved change to the Standard Technical Specifications (STS), into the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment revises the TS definition of "Leakage" and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Operational Leakage TS to clarify the requirements.

2.0 ASSESSMENT

2.1 Applicability of Safety Evaluation NSPM has reviewed the safety evaluation for TSTF-554, Revision 1 provided to the Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) in a letter dated December 18, 2020 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML20168A361 and ML20322A024). This review included a review of the NRC staff's evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-554, Revision

1. As described herein, NSPM has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-554, Revision 1 and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to the MNGP and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes into the MNGP TS.

2.2 Variations NSPM is proposing the following editorial variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-554, Revision 1:

x MNGP TS 1.1 Definition for Identified LEAKAGE, Item a.1., already ends with a

or so the markups in this license amendment request differ editorially from TSTF-554 which shows the punctuation changing from a, to a ;.

x MNGP TS 1.1 Definition for Identified LEAKAGE, Item a.2., already ends with a

so the markups in this license amendment request differ editorially from TSTF-554 which shows the punctuation changing from a, to a ;.

x MNGP TS 1.1 Definition for Unidentified LEAKAGE, Item b., ends with a ; so the markups in this license amendment request differ editorially from TSTF-554

L-MT-24-025 NSPM Enclosure Page 3 of 5 by not deleting a comma and retaining the existing semi-colon for consistency with a. and c.

x MNGP TS 1.1 Definition for Identified LEAKAGE, Item c., already ends with a

so the markups in this license amendment request differ editorially from TSTF-554 which shows the punctuation changing from a, to a ;.

TSTF-554, Revision 1 and its corresponding Safety Evaluation discuss the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance, including the applicability of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 14 and 30. MNGP was not licensed to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC. MNGP was licensed to the applicable Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) preliminary general design criteria, published July 11, 1967. The applicable AEC proposed criteria are addressed as documented in the MNGP Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), Appendix E, "Plant Comparative Evaluation with the Proposed AEC 70 Design Criteria". Following implementation of the proposed change, MNGP will remain in compliance with the applicable AEC design criteria as described in the MNGP USAR. Therefore, this difference does not alter the conclusion that the proposed change is applicable to MNGP.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis NSPM requests adoption of TSTF-554, "Revise Reactor Coolant Leakage Requirements," Revision 1 that is an approved change to the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) into the MNGP Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment revises the TS definition of "Leakage," clarifies the requirements when pressure boundary leakage is detected, and adds a Required Action when pressure boundary leakage is identified.

NSPM has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) 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 amendment revises the TS definition of "Leakage," clarifies the requirements when pressure boundary leakage is detected, and adds a Required Action when pressure boundary leakage is identified.

The proposed change revises the definition of pressure boundary leakage. Pressure boundary leakage is a precursor to some accidents previously evaluated. The proposed

L-MT-24-025 NSPM Enclosure Page 4 of 5 change expands the definition of pressure boundary leakage by eliminating the qualification that pressure boundary leakage must be from a "nonisolable" flaw. A new TS Action is created which requires isolation of the pressure boundary flaw from the Reactor Coolant System. This new action provides assurance that the flaw will not result in any accident previously evaluated.

Pressure boundary leakage and the actions taken when pressure boundary leakage is detected are not assumed in the mitigation of any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the consequences of any accident previously evaluated are unaffected.

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 amendment revises the TS definition of "Leakage," clarifies the requirements when pressure boundary leakage is detected and adds a Required Action when pressure boundary leakage is identified. The proposed change does not alter the design function or operation of the RCS. The proposed change does not alter the ability of the RCS to perform its design function. Since pressure boundary leakage is an evaluated accident, the proposed change does not create any new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators not considered in the design and licensing bases.

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 amendment revises the TS definition of "Leakage," clarifies the requirements when pressure boundary leakage is detected and adds a Required Action when pressure boundary leakage is identified. The proposed change does not affect the initial assumptions, margins, or controlling values used in any accident analysis. The amount of leakage allowed from the RCS is not increased. The proposed change does not affect any design basis or safety limit or any Limiting Condition for Operation.

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

Based on the above, NSPM 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.

L-MT-24-025 NSPM Enclosure Page 5 of 5 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 EVALUATION The proposed change 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 change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or 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 change meets 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 change.
