1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the CommiSSion) dated June 13, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML111650145), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC, the licensee), requested changes to the facility Operating License NPF-62 for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 (CPS). The proposed change would revise Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation 3.1.2, "Reactivity Anomalies, II to allow performance of the reactivity anomaly surveillance using a comparison of predicted to monitored core reactivity. The reactivity anomaly verification is currently determined by a comparison of predicted vs. monitored control rod density. The proposed method would compare predicted vs. monitored keffective (keff).
The staff has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on October 4, 2011 (76 FR 61396).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 26, "Reactivity control system redundancy and capability," GDC 28, "Reactivity limits," and GDC 29, "Protection against anticipated operational occurrences," require that reactivity within the core be controllable to ensure that subcriticality is achievable and maintainable under cold conditions (most reactive conditions). In addition, the same GDCs specify that applicable fuel design limits must not be exceeded during normal operations and anticipated operational occurrences.
In Section 4 of its submittal, the licensee identified the applicable regulatory requirements.
Specifically, the licensee stated:
General Design Criteria (GDC) 26, 28, and 29 require that reactivity be controllable such that subcriticality is maintained under cold conditions and specified applicable fuel design limits are not exceeded during normal operations and anticipated operational occurrences (AOO). The reactivity anomaly check required by the CPS TS in LCO 3.1.2 serves to partly satisfy the above GDCs by verifying that core reactivity remains within expected/predicted values.
Enclosure
-2 Ensuring that no significant reactivity anomaly exists provides confidence of adequate shutdown margin as well as providing verification that the assumptions of safety analyses associated with core reactivity remain valid.
To conduct their review, the staff used the boiling-water reactor Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS), NUREG-1434, Revision 3, which was approved by the NRC, and is an acceptable method of showing consistency with the regulatory standards.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The licensee proposed changes to CPS's TS and associated bases to reflect a new method of performing the reactivity anomaly check. The limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) and Surveillance Requirements (SRs) contained within the TS respectively specify the minimum requirements for ensuring safe operation of the plant and the testing, calibration, or inspection needed of systems and components to ensure those requirements are met. The revised LCO and SR are provided below.
The purpose of the reactivity anomaly surveillance is to compare the observed reactivity behavior of the core at hot operating conditions with the expected reactivity behavior calculated prior to the start of operation.
Currently, CPS TS require a comparison between predicted control rod density that is calculated prior to the start of operation for a particular cycle to an actual control rod density during the cycle. The comparison is done, as required by Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.1.2.1, once within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> after reaching equilibrium conditions following startup after fuel movement within the reactor pressure vessel or control rod replacement and each 1000 MWDfT thereafter during operations in Mode 1.
The current method of performing the reactivity anomaly uses rod density for the comparison primarily because early core monitoring systems did not calculate core critical keff values for comparison to deSign values. Rod density was used instead as a convenient representation of core reactivity. Allowing the use of a direct comparison of keff, as opposed to rod density, provides for a more direct measurement of core reactivity conditions and eliminates the limitations that exist for performing the core reactivity comparisons with rod density.
PROPOSED CHANGES The Condition statements will not be changed. This proposed TS change will also not change the frequency of the SR, only the method by which the reactivity anomaly SR is performed. However, the SR will be re-worded to replace rod density with keff as appropriate.
The current LCO 3.1.2 and proposed LCO 3.1.2 are, respectively:
The reactivity difference between the monitored rod density and the predicted rod density shall be within +/-1 % Llklk.
-3 The reactivity difference between the monitored core keff and the predicted core keff shall be within +/-1 % llklk.
The current SR 3.1.2.1 and proposed SR 3.1.2.1 are respectively:
Verify core reactivity difference between the monitored rod density and the predicted rod density is within +/-1 % llklk.
Verify core reactivity difference between the monitored core keff and the predicted core keff is within +/-1 % llk/k.
The submittal stated that if a significant deviation between the reactivity observed during operation and the expected reactivity occurs, the reactivity anomaly surveillance alerts the reactor operating staff of a potentially anomalous situation, indicating that something in the core design process, the manufacturing of the fuel, or in the plant operation may be different than was assumed. The licensee stated that this situation would trigger an investigation and further actions, as needed.
The licensee also stated that:
The current method for the development of the reactivity anomaly curves used to perform the TS surveillance actually begins with the predicted critical keff at rated conditions and the companion rod patterns derived using those predicted values of keff .
A calculation is made of the number of notches inserted in the rod patterns, and also the number of average notches required to make a change of +/- 1 % llklk around the predicted critical keff . The notches are converted to rod density and plotted with an upper and lower bound representing the +/- 1% llklk acceptance band as a function of cycle exposure. This curve is then used as the predicted rod density during the cycle. In effect, the comparison is still based on critical keff with a "translation" of acceptance criteria to rod density.
The licensee further stated that CPS utilizes the NRC-approved Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) 3D MONICORE core monitoring software system. The latest version of this product incorporates the NRC-approved PANACEA Version 11 (I.e., PANAC11) core simulator code to calculate parameters such as core nodal powers, fuel thermal limits, etc., using actual, measured plant input data. PANAC 11 is the same 3D core simulator code currently used in CPS core design and licensing activities. When a 3D MONICORE core monitoring case is run, the core keff' as computed by PANAC11, is also calculated and printed directly on each 3D MONICORE case output. This value can then be directly compared to the predicted value of keff as a measure of reactivity anomaly.
The revised method for evaluating a potential reactivity anomaly compares the measured (i.e.,
monitored) core kef! to predicted core keff . Measured core keff is calculated by the 3D core simulator model in the plant's core monitoring system based on measured plant operating data.
-4 The predicted core keff, as a function of cycle exposure, is developed prior to the start of each operating cycle and incorporates benchmarking of exposure-dependent 3D core simulator keff behavior in previous cycles and any fuel vendor recommended adjustments due to planned changes in fuel design, core design, or operating strategy for the upcoming cycle.
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's submittal and related documentation, including the CPS TS, ISTS, and the updated final safety analYSis report. The NRC staff concurs with the licensee that while being a convenient measurement of core reactivity, control rod density has its limitations. All control rod insertion does not have the same impact on core reactivity.
Control rods located in core periphery and shallow rods have little impact on reactivity while deeply inserted central control rods have a large effect. Thus, it is not uncommon for reactivity anomaly concerns to arise during operation simply because of greater use of near-edge or shallow control rods than anticipated, when in fact no true anomaly exists. The staff believes that comparing monitored to predicted keff instead of monitored to predicted rod density, eliminates the inherent limitations of the current method and replaces it with a more realistic comparison using a straightforward approach. The staff finds that by ensuring that no significant reactivity anomaly exists, the licensee provides reasonable assurance of adequate shutdown margin as well as providing verification that the assumptions of safety analyses associated with core reactivity remain valid.
The NRC staff concurs with the licensee that the proposed changes should not affect transient and accident analyses because only the method of performing the reactivity anomaly surveillance is changing. The staff finds that the proposed method will provide an adequate estimate as discussed above. Furthermore, the reactivity anomaly check will continue to be performed by the licensee at the current TS required frequency.
The NRC staff review determined that the licensee's proposed amendment is consistent with the ISTS (NUREG-1434, Revision 3.0) for BWRl6. The Reactivity Anomaly LCO in the BWRl6 ISTS uses the keff comparison, as opposed to the control rod density comparison. The staff notes that the proposed change is similar to changes previously approved in Amendments 263 and 207 for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant on November 4, 2010, for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed license amendment request is acceptable based on the considerations that (1) the proposed methodology is based on more realistic and reliable comparison of monitored to predicted keffvalues, that (2) the most recently updated NRC approved methodologies will be used to perform the analysis, and that (3) ensuring that no significant reactivity anomaly exists provides reasonable assurance of adequate shutdown margin as well as providing verification that the assumptions of safety analyses associated with core reactivity remain valid. The staff, therefore, concludes that the proposed amendment of the CPS TS continues to meet GDCs 26, 28, and 29, and therefore, is acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. 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 (October 4, 2011, 76 FR 61396). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusions 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
S The Commission has concluded, based on 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) 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.
