SUMMARY

DESCRIPTIONIn accordance with10 CFR 50.90, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requests an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1 to revise the current licensing basis described in the CPS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), Sections6.4, "Habitability Systems," 9.4, "Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

Systems," 15.4.9, "Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA),"15.6.5, "Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (Resulting from Spectrum of Postulated Piping Break Within the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary) -Inside Containment,"and 15.7.4, "Fuel Handling Accident."In addition, the proposed amendment will revise CPS Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.1.3, "Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs)."The proposed change will revisethe Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) dose calculation and the subsequent calculation results. The initial LOCA dose calculation methodology was submitted and approved by the NRC in Amendment 167 to NPF-62(i.e.,Reference 6.7), which implemented an alternative source term (AST) methodology in accordance with 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term."An additional modification to the LOCA dose calculation methodology was submitted on January 29, 2016. This modification revised the post-loss-of-coolant-accident drawdown time for secondary containment from 12 minutes to 19 minutes. This was approved by the NRC in Amendment 210 to NPF-62(i.e.,Reference 6.8).This proposed change is in response to an NRC violation, and is necessary torestore compliance with existing regulatory requirements. The changeremovesa reduction factor credit for dual remote Control Roomair intakesthat had been previously misapplied.This change results in an increase in the Control Roomatmospheric dispersionvalues(X/Qs)based on the elimination of afactor of four reduction factor from the dose analyses. This results in an increase in the post-accidentdose for the Control Room. Although the resultant Control Roomdose is below the current guideline valuedefined in NUREG-0800,"Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition," (SRP)Section15.0.1, "Radiological Consequences Analyses Using Alternative Source Terms,"Revision 0,the increase in consequences is more than minimal, and as such requires prior NRC approval in accordance with 10CFR50.59(c)(1)(iii).An operability evaluation that assessed the current configuration and determined that Control Room Ventilation system remains operable when considering the non-conforming condition described abovewill remain in-place untilthisissue is resolved.The proposed change also incorporates the results of sensitivity studies based on fuel cycle lengthsfrom12 upto 24 months.EGC has conducted evaluations to validate that the proposed configuration complies with the applicable 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC), as well as the requirements of 10 CFR 50.49, "Environmental qualification of electric equipment important to safety for nuclear power plants,"10 CFR 50.67,"Accident source term,"Regulatory Guide(RG)1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors,"Revision 0, and RG 1.194, "Atmospheric Relative Concentrations forControl Room Radiological HabitabilityAssessmentsat Nuclear Power Plants," dated June 2003.

ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 3of 122.0DETAILED DESCRIPTIONBecause the change in Control Roomatmospheric dispersion (X/Qs) isan input value into the post-accidentdose calculations described in USAR Sections15.6.5and 15.7.4, EGC has re-evaluated the impact of the increased X/Qs on post-accident radiological consequences for the Control Room.The revised fuel handling accident (FHA) and LOCA dose calculationswere performed in accordance with the guidance in RG1.183 and SRP Section 15.0.1, "Radiological Consequences Analyses Using Alternative Source Terms."The FHA was evaluated under 10CFR50.59. This evaluation determined that changes to the FHA analyses do not require NRC approval.RG1.194requires that the operator have the ability to select the remote intake with the lowest activity to take credit for dual Control Roomremote intakes. Following a loss of divisional power (i.e., a single failure), the ability to select the more favorable remote intake from a Control Room radiological dose perspective would not be possible. Consequently, the previous credit taken for a dual Control Roomremote intake can no longer be taken due to single failure issues with the current system design. Based on this, the previous reduction in the atmospheric dispersion by a factor of four to account for selection of the most favorable remote intake is no longer applied.In addition to the change in Control Roomatmospheric dispersion values, additional changes to the current LOCA dose calculation were implemented. These include: 1) reduction in the Feedwater Isolation Valve liquid leakage from 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm)to 1.5 gpm, 2)reduction in the Feedwater Isolation Valve air leakage from 10.98 cubic feet per minute (cfm) to 8.64 cfm, 3) reduction in the Control Roomfiltered inleakage from 1,100 cfm to 1,000 cfm, 4)credit taken for mixing in50% ofthe secondary containmentvolume,5)incorporation of a new coreinventory, and 6) inclusion of a sensitivity study for a bounding 12 to 24-month fuel cycle core inventory.The new core inventory documents a bounding annual fuel cycle core inventory based on any combination of the core design parameters and enrichment to bound future core designs.As a result ofthepotentialto implement24-month fuel cycle operation, the Beginning of Cycle (BOC) burnup evaluated for annual cycles was not bounding (i.e.,24-month cycle has a lower BOC burnup). Therefore, a revised core inventory based on a revised BOC burnup was developed. This inventory was used in sensitivity studies to determine whether the dose consequences using the revised core inventory or the bounding annual fuel cycle core inventory is more limiting. Byevaluating the dose consequences for both annual cycle core inventories and the revised core inventory the analyses cover operation for any cycle between 12 and 24 months in length.For LOCA, the revisedradiological consequence evaluation identified that the post-accident (i.e.,post-LOCA) doses for the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB)and Low Population Zone (LPZ)decreased, while the value for the Control Roompost-accident dose increased. The change in the current post-accident dose for the EAB and LPZ, which is documented in USAR Table15.6.5-6, "Loss-of-Coolant Accident (Design Basis Analysis) Radiological Effects,"was not more than minimal, and therefore could be changed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.However, the increase in post-accident Control Roomdose, which is documented in USAR Subsection 15.6.5.5.2, "Control Room,"while within the 10 CFR 50.67 limit, was more than minimal, and as such requires prior NRC approval. Specifically, the postulated post-LOCA Control Roomdose will increase from the current value of 4.84 roentgen equivalent man (REM)

ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 5of 12analysis was performed using AST methodology and is based on conservative assumptions considered to be acceptable to the NRC for the purpose of determining the adequacy of the plant design to meet 10CFR50.67 limits.USAR Section15.4.9.5.1,"Analysis,"statesthat, "The design basis analysis is based on the NRC's Standard Review Plan 15.4.9 and Regulatory Guide1.183."This analysis continues to use the same AST methodology described in the USAR. The results of the revised analysis indicate an increase in the dose consequences for the EAB, the LPZ, and the Control Room.For this analysis, the dose consequences based on an annual fuel cycle core inventory were not bounding for all receptor locations. Therefore, the dose consequences for a CRDA will be based on the revised 12 to 24-month fuel cycle core inventory for the EAB and LPZ doses and the annual fuel cycle core inventory for the Control Room. The increase in dose consequences does not exceed the minimal increase and remains below the RG 1.183acceptance criterion (i.e., see Enclosure 5).The suppression pool pH analysis is also impacted by the new 12-month fuel cycle source term. USAR Section 15.6.5.5.1.1, "Fission Product Release from Fuel,"describes the fission product release from fuel after a LOCA accident and states, "the suppression pool pH is controlled at values above 7 following the core release period."The revised suppression pool pH calculation verifies that the suppression pool pH remains above 7.0 when the source term is updated to the latest 12-month fuel cycle source termor the core inventory based on a 12 to 24-month fuel cycle.

3.0TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1System DescriptionThe Control RoomHeating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systemis designed to ensure that Main Control Roompersonnel can remain inside all spaces served by the Control RoomHVAC system during normal station conditions and accident conditions in compliance with GDC 19.The Control RoomHVAC system is an engineered safety feature and is designed with sufficient redundancy to ensure operation and habitability under any accident condition, and to ensure operation under normal or abnormal station conditions. The system is designed to meet single-failure criteria with the exception of heating and humidification equipment and the remote outside air intakes. The heating and humidification provided in the Control RoomHVAC system are not essential for the safety of operating personnel orthe function of the safety-related equipment.The system is designed to maintain a positive pressure within the Control RoomEnvelope with respect to the adjacent areas to preclude infiltration of unconditioned air, during all the operating modes except when the system is in recirculation mode or when the system is in the maximum outside air purge mode. Maintaining positive pressure during normal mode is not a safety function.The outside air is normally brought in through one of two minimum outside air intakes and supplied to the operating return air fan suction. These two intakes are physically separated by over 375 feet, and are called "minimum"outside air intakes since one of them is used to supply the minimum required makeup air during normal and abnormal conditions. Wall openings for these intake ducts are missile protected. A third missile-protected air intake is provided to ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 6of 12introduce 100% outside air to permit purging of the Control Room, if required. The minimum quantity of outside air required to provide makeup air for expected leakages and locker room exhaust fan operation and still maintain not less than 0.125 inches ofH 20 positivepressure in the Control Roomwith respect to the adjacent areas is introduced under all station operating conditions. This positive pressure is not maintained when the system is in the maximum outside air purge mode. The Control Roommakeup air maintains Control Roompressure at a positive 0.125 inches ofH 2O or greater relative to the adjacent areas. During normal operating conditions, the makeup flow rate (i.e., up to approximately 4000 cfm design, 1000 cfm of which is exhausted to atmosphere by the locker room exhaust fan) will vary as doors are opened and closed. Maintaining positive pressure during normal mode is not a safety function.The two minimum outside air intakes are located on the east and west sides of the plant respectively such that advantages can be derived from the outside wind direction in the event contaminants are present in one outside air intake. High radiation measured at either minimum outside air intake automatically closes the normal intake damper (i.e., by sending closure signals to dampers 0VC03YA,"Control Room Train A Minimum Outside Air Damper,"0VC115YA, "Control Room Isolation Damper," 0VC03YB,"Control Room Train B Minimum Outside Air Damper,"and 0VC115YB"Control Room Isolation Damper") and initiates operation of one of two 100% standby makeup air filter trains. This depends upon which HVAC system is operating. This in turn sends a signal to open the appropriate makeup filter train inlet and outlet dampers (inlet: Control Room Isolation Damper, 0VC02YA or 0VC02YB; outlet: Control Room Isolation Damper 0VC06YA or 0VC06YB). The recirculation air filter trains are automatically placed in service upon receiving the same high radiation signal. This is accomplished by sending closure signals to Control Room Isolation Dampers 0VC10YA and 0VC10YB, and by sending a signal to open the appropriate recirculation filter train inlet and outlet dampers (inlet: Control Room Isolation Damper0VC09YA or 0VC09YB; outlet: Control Room Isolation Damper0VC11YA or 0VC11YB). For the removal of radioactive contaminants, minimum outside air is thus introduced through thedemister, electric heater, medium filter, HEPA filter, iodine adsorbing beds, and downstream HEPA filter. The prefilter limits large particulate loading of the HEPA filter, and the single-stage electric heater assures air entering the charcoalhas a relative humidity that isno higher than 70%. The makeup air filter trains are capable of removing 99.95% of all particulate matter larger than 0.3 microns and no less than 99% of all forms of iodine. The recirculation charcoal filter trains are capable ofremoving no less than 70% of all forms of iodine. The high radiation signal also closes the locker room exhaust dampers, which trips the exhaust fan.By letter dated April 3, 2003, (Reference 6.1), as supplemented by letters dated December23,2003, December 9, 2004, December 17, 2004, March 30, 2005, and August19,2005 (i.e.,References 6.2 through 6.6, respectively), AmerGen Energy Company,LLC(AmerGen)(i.e., the CPS licensee prior to EGC), requested a license amendment to support Alternative Source Term (AST)methodology for design basis accidents, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.67, with the exception that Technical Information Document (TID)14844, "Calculation of Distance Factors for Power and Test Reactor Sites,"would continue to be used as the radiation dose basis for equipment environmental qualification.The LOCA analysis supporting the Reference 6.1 license amendment request assumed credit for dual,remote Control Roomair intakes and, as allowed by RG1.194(i.e.,areduction in the atmospheric dispersion by a factor of four). By letter and Safety Evaluation dated September ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 7of 1219, 2005 (i.e., Reference 6.7), the NRC approved Amendment 167 to NPF-62.In May 2015, EGC implemented a design change for CPS that revised the operating cycle to the current value of 12 months. This design change revised an input parameter to the original AST post-LOCA dose calculation.As a result, EGC reanalyzed the original AST dose calculations with a 12-month operatingcycle. The resultant change to the EAB, LPZ, and Control Room post-LOCA dose values remained below the 10 CFR 50.67 limits, and were implemented in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 (i.e., the resultant change to the values was not more than minimal).An additional modification to the LOCA dose calculation methodology was submitted on January 29, 2016. This modification revised the post-LOCA drawdown time for Secondary Containment from 12 minutes to 19 minutes. This was approved by the NRC in Amendment 210 to NPF-62 (i.e., Reference 6.9).The Control Roomoperator can operate hand switchesin the Control Roomto close the minimum outside air intake damper, which was being used, and to open the other intake damper, to take advantage of the separation of the two air intakes and minimize radioactivity intake.RG1.194 requires that the operator have the ability to select the remote intake with the lowest activity to take credit for dual Control Roomremote intakes. EGC recently determined that, following a loss of divisional power (i.e., a single failure), the ability to select the more favorableremote intake would not be possible. Consequently, the previous dose reduction credit taken for a dual Control Roomremote intake is no longer taken due tothe possibility of a single failure hindering Control Room intake realignmentwith the current system design. Based on this, the previous reduction in the atmospheric dispersion by a factor of four to account for selection of the most favorable remote intake is no longer applied.3.2Evaluation of Proposed ChangeEGC has evaluated the impact of the revised Control Roomatmospheric dispersion (X/Q) values on post-LOCA radiation doses (i.e., TEDE) inthe Control Room.The CRDA and FHA were evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59 and did not require prior NRC approval; however, the following aspects of the proposed change require NRC approval: 1) ATSamendment because of the proposed change to feedwater penetration leakage acceptance criterion in SR 3.6.1.3.11, 2) achange regarding the mixing of the secondary containment volume that isconsidered a changeinaninputparameter that constitutes non-conservative change to an element of the methodology for determining post-LOCA doses, and 3) A more thanaminimal increase in Control Room post-LOCA dose consequencesas shown in Table 1 below.No other aspects of this evaluation require prior NRC review and approval.The results of the evaluations for the 12-month operating cycle with increased Control RoomX/Qs are provided in Table1below relative to the current AST dose calculation values. The dose consequences associated with a 12-monthfuel cycle, given below, bound the dose consequences based on a 12 to 24-month fuel cycle core inventory.Enclosure 3provides the physical input parameters and assumptions that were used for the revised post-LOCA dose calculations, as well as the corresponding parameters used in the current calculation (i.e., in ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 8of 12support of Amendment 210). Enclosure 4provides a discussion of both quantitative and qualitative uncertainties in the post-LOCA dose calculations, relative to the 10 CFR 50.67 limits.Table 1:Post-LOCA Radiation Doses (REM TEDE)Current USAR Chapter 15.6.5 Results AResults withRevised Control RoomX/Qs B10 CFR 50.67Limits CIncrease in Dose B-AMore Than Minimal Increase inDose Consequences Thresholds10% of C -AEAB17.3116.1825N/A0.769LPZ Boundary7.426.8125N/A1.758Control Room4.844.8950.050.01

64.0REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1Applicable Regulatory Requirements/CriteriaThe proposed change will revise aninput parameter for the post-accidentdose calculation and the subsequent calculation results. The following NRC requirements and guidance documents are applicable to the review of the proposed change:10 CFR 50.49,"Environmental qualification of electric equipment important to safety for nuclear power plants,"requires licensees to establish a program for qualifying the safety-related electric equipment that is relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to ensure: (i)Theintegrityofthereactorcoolantpressureboundary;(ii)Thecapabilitytoshutdownthereactorandmaintainitinasafeshutdowncondition;or (iii)Thecapabilitytopreventormitigatetheconsequencesofaccidentsthatcouldresultinpotentialoffsiteexposurescomparabletotheguidelinesin10CFR50.67.

This guide describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for determining X/Q values that will be used in control room radiological habitability assessments performed in support of applications for licenses and license amendment requests.EGChasvalidatedthattheproposedchangecomplieswiththeapplicableregulations,requirements,andguidance.4.2No Significant Hazards ConsiderationExelon Generation Company, LLC(EGC)has determined that the revised Clinton Power Station (CPS), Unit 1 Control Roomatmospheric dispersion (X/Q) values will impact the post-loss of coolant accident (LOCA)dose consequences.EGC has evaluated the impact of the revised ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 10of 12X/Qs on post-accident radiological consequences, utilizing the NRC-approved alternative source term (AST) methodology.The Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA)and Fuel Handling Accident (FHA)were also impacted by the change in source term and control room X/Q but can be implemented without prior NRC approval under 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes,tests and experiments."This radiological consequence evaluation resulted in a projected increase in the post-accident Control Roomdose. Although the increased value for post-LOCA Control Roomdose remains within the 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term,"regulatory limit, the increase is more than minimal, and as such requires prior NRC approval.The revised post-LOCA Control Roomdose calculation was performed in accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Guide(RG)1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors"and NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,"(SRP),Section 15.0.1, "Radiological Consequences Analyses Using Alternative Source Terms."EGC has evaluated whethera significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendmentsby 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: NoThe proposed change results in higher Control RoomX/Qs which are equivalent to reduced atmospheric dispersion. The increased Control RoomX/Qs, in turn, result in higher post-accident Control Roomdoses. Neither the higher X/Qs, nor the resultant increase in the Control Roomdoses affect any initiator or precursor of any accident previously evaluated.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated.The proposed change results in an increase in the post-LOCA radiological dose to a Control Roomoccupant.However, the resultant post-LOCA Control Roomdose remains within the regulatory limits of 10 CFR 50.67 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," Criterion19, "Control Room."Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.In summary, 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: NoThe proposed change does not alter the design function or operation of the Control Roomheating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC)system, or the ability of this system to perform its design function. The only change is the removal of theControl Room dose ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 11of 12reduction factorcredit taken for providing a dual remote Control Roomair intake. The proposed change does not alter the safety limits, or safety analysis associated with the operation of the plant.Accordingly, the change does not introduce any new accident initiators.Rather, this proposed change is the result of an evaluation of the Control Roomdoses following the most limiting LOCA that can occur at CPS. The proposed change does not introduce any new modes of plant operation. As a result, no new failure modes are introduced.Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.3.Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: NoThe revised post-LOCA dose consequences to a Control Roomoccupant were calculated in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67, RG1.183, andNRCSRPSection 15.0.1, "Radiological Consequences Analyses Using Alternative Source Terms."The margin of safety is considered to be that provided by meeting the applicable regulatory limits. The increased Control RoomX/Qs result in an increase in Control Roomdose following the design basisLOCA; however, since the Control Roomdose following the design basis accident remains within the regulatory limits, there is not a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Therefore, operation of CPS in accordance with the proposed change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Based on the above, EGC concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a 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.4.3ConclusionsBased 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 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.

5.0ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

EGC has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations. The review has resulted in the determination that the proposed amendment 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, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation," or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve:

ATTACHMENT 1 -EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGEPage 12of 12(i)a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10CFR51.22(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 amendment.

Shielding details are provided in Table 6.4-2 and Drawings M01-1524 and M01-1526. Labyrinths at the entrances and shielding slabs over the ceiling penetrations are provided to preclude potential radiation streaming.6.4.3System Operating Procedures During normal operation, one of the two 100% capacity trains of the main control room HVAC system continuously processes the recirculated and makeup air to maintain desired air temperature and quality. The mixture of recirculated and makeup air is filtered by high efficiency (85% by NBS dust spot method), waterproof and fire retardant fiberglass filters. Each

control room HVAC system train, with the exception of the chiller, may be manually started through its respective control switch located in the main control room. The system chiller must be manually started from the chiller control panel. Local control of system train components is provided by allowing transfer of system control to the local control panel using the remote/local selector switch. The sequence of operation of the controls is described in Subsection 7.3.1.1.6.

In the event of high radiation detection at the minimum outside air intake(s), the radiation monitoring system will activate an alarm in the main control room, automatically start the makeup filter train, route the supply air stream through the charcoal beds in the recirculation air filter associated with the operating HVAC air handling system and trip the locker room exhaust fan. The 3000 cfm makeup air is automatically routed through the makeup air filter train, for removal of radioactive and nonradioactive particulates and iodine, before going into the control room. The control room operator can operate handswitches to close the minimum outside air

intake damper, which was being used, and to open the other intake damper, to take advantage of the separation of the two air intakes and minimize radioactivity intake.

Areas above and below those spaces served by the main control room HVAC system will be maintained at a negative pressure, with respect to those spaces served by the control room HVAC system, by the auxiliary building HVAC system.6.4.4Design Evaluations The control room HVAC system is designed to maintain a habitable environment compatible with prolonged service life of safety-related components in the control room under all station operating conditions. The system is provided with redundant equipment trains to meet the single failure criteria. The equipment trains are powered from redundant ESF buses and are operable during loss of offsite power. All of the control room HVAC system equipment except recirculation, heating and humidification equipment, and exhaust fan is designed for Seismic

Category I loads.6.4.4.1Radiological Protection The two outside minimum air intakes are separated from each other by being located on the east and west sides of the plant respectively. In the post-LOCA environment, air can be supplied to the control room from the intake where the airborne contamination is lowest.

Radiation monitors near the minimum outside air intakes are designed to initiate an alarm in the control room and a control signal to isolate the normal ventilation path, start up one of the makeup air filter trains and divert the outside air through it, route the supply air stream through the recirculation air charcoal adsorber and trip the locker room exhaust fan. Subsequently, readings from these monitors are used by the operator to select the minimum outside air intake Nocreditistakenforthisdual,separatedoutsideairintakedesignfeatureforevaluatingtheradiologicalconsequencesofdesignbasisaccidents.Nocreditistakenforthisdual,separatedoutsideairintakedesignfeatureforevaluating theradiologicalconsequencesofdesignbasisaccidents.UFSARLog#2017-005 CPS/USARCHAPTER 066.4-5REV. 14, JANUARY 2011 with the lower airborne contamination. The makeup air filter trains are provided with HEPA and charcoal filters to remove particulates and iodine from the makeup air. The recirculation filter units are provided with high efficiency air and charcoal filters to further remove particulates and iodine from the supply air.The control room is maintained at a positive pressure with respect to adjacent areas when operated in the radiation mode to minimize the ingress of unfiltered outside air. Air locks are also provided at the entrances for the same purpose.

The calculated dose to personnel inside the control room following accidents is reported in Chapter 15.6.4.4.2Toxic Gas Protection Transportation and traffic surveys have shown that the frequency of transportation or delivery of chlorine does not dictate design for a potential chlorine hazard. Additionally, gaseous chlorine is no longer allowed on site by plant procedure and there are no other significant depots of

chlorine within a five mile radius of the site. Therefore, no automatic initiation of the control room ventilation chlorine mode and no chlorine detectors are required.

A breathing air system is provided for control room operators. Protection of control room operators against other hazardous chemicals as required by Regulatory Guide 1.78 is provided.There are three control room ventilation intakes. The first is located on the northwest corner of the Auxiliary Building. The second intake is located on the north wall of the Control Building.

The third intake is located on the east wall of the Control Building.

In the highly unlikely event of a chlorine gas problem, the control room operator may manually initiate the chlorine mode of operation for the Control Room HVAC System. (Q&R 450.1)

For refrigerant vapors (freon) or their decomposition products, protection is provided by:a.Locating refrigerant-using equipment (chillers) with the most refrigerant far from the control room, on the lowest elevation of the control and fuel buildings. These

areas are ventilated independently from the control room system.b.Providing pressure relief valves on each chiller piped directly to the outdoors, except for the drywell water chillers relief line which is connected to the fuel building exhaust system.c.Pressurizing the control room to preclude infiltration.d.Ventilating the control room HVAC equipment room independently from the control room HVAC system.e.Utilizing chilled water cooling coils instead of direct expansion coils.ifbothminimumoutsideair int a kesa r ea v a il ab l e.UFSARLog#2017-005 CPS/USARCHAPTER 099.4-2REV. 14, JANUARY 20119.4.1.1.1Safety Design Basesa.The control room HVAC system is an engineered safety feature and is designed with sufficient redundancy to ensure operation and habitability under any accident conditions, and to ensure operation under normal or abnormal station conditions. The system is desi gned to meet single-failure criteria with the exception of heating and humidification equipment. The heating and humidification provided in the control room HVAC system are not essential for the safety of operating personnel of the function of the safety related equipment.

b.The control room HVAC system is designed to maintain the following temperature and humidity ranges:AreaTemperature RangeHumidity RangeMain Control Room 71!F to 75!F 35% to 55%

Computer Room 68!F to 72!F 35% to 55%TMI Panel Room 71!F to 75!F 35% to 55%

Techinical Support Center 71!F to 75!F 35% to 55%

Control Panel Area 71!F to 75!F No humidity control Misc. offices & locker rooms 73!F to 77!F No humidity control Operations Support Area 55!F to 104!F No humidity controlc.The system is designed to maintain a positive pressure within the control room envelope with respect to the adjacent areas to preclude infiltration of unconditioned air, during all the operating modes except when the system is inrecirculation mode or whenthe system is in the maximum outside air purge mode. Maintaining positive pressure during normal mode is not a safety function.d.The system is provided with radiation monitors to monitor radiation levels at the minimum outside air intakes and upon detecting a radiation level exceeding a

preset value automatically limits the introduction of contaminants into the system by filtering the contaminated air.

This ventilation system design coupled with the control room shielding assures that the dose to the operators inside the control room is within the limits specified by Criterion 19 of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A for the duration of a design-b asis accident.e.There is no chlorine detection system. The chlorine detectors are retired in place.f.Provision is made in the system to clean up the inside environs upon smoke detection in the return air or at the minimum outside air intakes.outsideairintake

dampers, CPS/USARCHAPTER 099.4-4REV. 14, JANUARY 2011c.The outside air is normally brought in through one of two minimum outside air intakes and supplied to the operating return air fan suction. These two intakes are physically separated by over 375 feet, and are called "minimum" outside air intakes since one of them is used to supply the minimum required makeup airduring normal and abnormal conditions. Wall openings for these intake ducts aremissile protected. A third missile-protected air intake is provided to introduce100% outside air to permit purging of the control room, if required. The minimum quantity of outside air required to provide makeup air for expected leakages (Table 6.4-1) and locker room exhaust fan operation and still maintain not less than 0.125 inch H 2 0 positive pressure in the control room with respect to the adjacent areas is introduced under all station operating conditions. This positive pressure is not maintained during running of the chlorine mode during which all intakes are closed or when the system is in the maximum outside air purge

mode. The control room makeup air maintains control room pressure at a positive 0.125 inch H 2 O or greater relative to the adjacent areas. During normal operating conditions, the makeup flow rate (up to approximately 4000 cfm design, 1000 cfm of which is exhausted to atmosphere by the locker roomexhaust fan) will vary as doors are opened and closed. Maintaining positive pressure during normal mode is not a safety function.d.The two minimum outside air intakes are located on the east and west sides of the plant respectively such that advantages can be derived from the outside wind direction in the event contaminants are present in one outside air intake.e.Chilled water is supplied to the cooling coils in each air-handling equipment train from one of two separate water circuits from the control room chilled water system which is discussed in Subsection 9.2.8.1. Each is comprised of one

100% capacity refrigeration unit, one 100% capacity chilled water pump, associated piping, and specialties. Condensers are cooled by plant service water or shutdown service water as discussed in Subsections 9.2.1.1 and 9.2.1.2.f.All 100% redundant equipment is physically separated by missile walls.g.High radiation measured at either minimum outside air intake automatically closes the normal intake damper (by sending closure signals to dampers

0VC03YA, 0VC115YA, 0VC03YB, and 0VC115YB) and initiates operation of oneof two 100% standby makeup air filter trains. This depends upon which HVACsystem is operating. This in turn sends a signal to open the appropriate makeup filter train inlet and outlet dampers (inlet: 0VC02YA or 0VC02YB; outlet:

0VC06YA or 0VC06YB). The recirculation air filter trains are automatically

placed in service upon receiving the same high radiation signal. This is accomplished by sending closure signals to dampers 0VC10YA and 0VC10YB, and by sending a signal to open the appropriate recirculation filter train inlet andoutlet dampers (inlet: 0VC09YA or 0VC09YB; outlet: 0VC11YA or 0VC11YB).

For the removal of radioactive contaminants, minimum outside air is thus introduced through demister, electric heater, medium filter, HEPA filter, iodine adsorbing beds, and downstream HEPA filter. The prefilter limits large particulate loading of the HEPA filter, and the single-stage electric heater assures no higher than 70% relative humidity air entering the charcoal. The makeup air filter trains are capable of removing 99.95% of all particulate matter larger than0.3 microns andno less than 99% of all forms of iodine.

The system is provided with redundant equipment to meet the single failure criteria. The power for the redundant equipment is supplied from separate essential power sources and is therefore operable during loss-of-offsite power. The power supply, control, and instrumentation meets the criteria of IEEE 279, IEEE 308, and IEEE 323. All of the HVAC equipment and surrounding structure is designed for Seismic CategoryI.

All control equipment in the control room are rated for continuous operation at 86!F and 104!F temperatures, nevertheless, the control room ambient temperature is maintained at less than 86

!F by the control room HVAC system.

Total loss of control room HVAC system is anticipated during a Station Blockout

event and is expected to raise the control room temperature to higher than 104!F but less than 120

!F. This transient condition is not considered to affect the integrity of the control equipment.A failure analysis is presented in Table 9.4-2.b.An equipment fire in the control room will not cause the abandonment of the control room and will not prevent a safe shutdown of the station because earlyionization detection is assured, fire fighting apparatus is available, and filtration and purging capability are provided (see Subsection 9.5.1).c.In the event of smoke or products of combustion in the control room return air, ionization detectors will annunciate in the main control room and air will be

automatically routed through the recirculation filter units.d.A radiation monitoring system is provided to detect high radiation at the two minimum outside air intakes and in the control room area. These monitors alarm in the control room upon detection of high radiation conditions. One of the twofull-capacity standby makeup air filter trains and one of the two recirculation air

filters designed to remove particulates and absorb iodine from the minimum quantity of outside air, are valved-in and the locker room exhaust fan is tripped upon receiving either of the following signals:1.high radiation at either of two minimum outside air intake louvers, or2.manual handswitch operation.When one of these signals is initiated, the makeup train associated with the operating HVAC train automatically initiates. The normal air intake dampers

0VC03YA(B) and 0VC115YA(B) are given closure signals (as well as the maximum outside air purge dampers), the makeup air filter train isolation dampers 0VC02YA(B) and 0VC06YA(B) are given open signals and the makeup air fan starts. The locker room exhaust fan is also tripped. Provision is made for the operator to select either one of the two minimum outside air intakes for

processing through the active makeup filter train. Additionally, there is a normally bypassed recirculation charcoal filter train through which all of the control room supply air is filtered upon receipt of a high radiation signal.Nocreditistakenforthisdual,separatedoutsideairintakedesignfeatureforevaluatingtheradiologicalconsequencesofdesignbasisaccidents.UFSARLog#2017-005 CPS/USARCHAPTER 099.4-7REV. 14, JANUARY 2011e.The makeup filter trains and the recirculation filter, in conjunction with other plant features, are designed and maintained to limit the occupational dose below levels required by Criterion 19 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A.f.The introduction of the minimum quantity of outside air maintains the control room, and other areas served by the control room HVAC system, at a positive pressure (with respect to adjacent areas) during all plant operating conditions and therefore precludes infiltration of unfiltered air into the control room. The only exceptions to this are during chlorine mode operation when no makeup air is

used and when the system is in the maximum outside air purge mode.Maintaining positive pressure during normal mode is not a safety function.g.The physical separation of two minimum outside air intakes (i.e., on the east and west sides of the plant) allows the operator to choose the intake with the lowest radiation level.h.The control room HVAC system operates year-round on a minimum outdoor aircycle, that is, only a maximum of 4000 ft 3/min of air (1000 cfm of which is exhausted to the atmosphere by the locker room exhaust fan) is introduced from outdoors during normal operation. During radiation mode operation, locker room exhaust fan is tripped and makeup air is reduced to 3000 ft 3/min. In the chlorine mode, dampers 0VC01YA, 0VC01YB, 0VC02YA, 0VC02YB, 0VC03YA,0VC03YB, 0VC115YA, and 0VC115YB (shown in Drawing M05-1102) will be

closed to prohibit outside air makeup and the locker room exhaust fan will be tripped.If thesystem is in the maximum outside air purge mode, the purge air dampers will also close. The opposed blade isolation dampers listed above are supplied with tight blade seals and were factory tested to verify acceptable leakage rates.

Any damper leakage which would occur passes through the recirculation charcoal adsorber after an accident, therefore there is no deleterious effect on the control room habitability.

Dampers 0VC01YA, 0VC03YA, 0VC03YB, and 0VC01YB are able to close in2seconds after receivingan isolation signal.i.Each of the two gas operated control room station blackout cooling fans are 100% capacity designed to exhaust a minimum of 5000 CFM. The fans are portable and are stored in the Turbine Bldg. at EL. 800'-0".9.4.1.4Testing and Inspection The following paragraph is considered historical:

All equipment is factory inspected and tested in accordance with the applicable equipment specifications, quality assurance requirements, and codes. System ductwork and erection of

equipment is inspected during various construction stages to assure compliance with all applicable standards. Construction tests are performed on all mechanical components and the system will be balanced for the design air and water flows and system operating pressures.

Controls, interlocks, and safety devices on each system are cold checked, adjusted, and tested to ensure the proper sequence of operation. A final integrated preoperational test was conducted with all equipment and controls operational to verify the system performance.

While not specifically stated in RG 1.183, this assumed release implies fuel damage applicable to melt conditions. Even though this condition is inconsistent with operation of the ECCS (see Section 6.3), it is conservatively assumed applicable for the evaluation of this accident. Of this release, 100% of the noble gases become airborne. Due in part to mixing into the suppression pool of the Standby Liquid Control System solution injected into the core, the suppression pool pH is controlled at values above 7 following the core release period. Therefore as per RG 1.183 the chemical form of the iodine released to the containment is assumed to be 95% particulate (aerosol), 4.85% elemental, and 0.15% organic. Before leaving containment, natural deposition of aerosols is assumed, reducing the aerosol availability for airborne release to the environment.15.6.5.5.1.2Fission Product Transport to the EnvironmentThe transport pathway consists of leakage from the containment to the secondary containment*-like structures by several different mechanisms and discharge to the environment through the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS)*The secondary containment herein after referred to as "the gas control boundary".(1)Containment leakage.

The postulated break of the feedwater line, representing the largest liquid line outside the containment, provides the envelope evaluation relative to this type of occurrence. The break is assumed to be instantaneous, circumferential, and downstream of the outermost isolation valve.

8.50E+05 4400 CPS/USARCHAPTER 15 15.7-12 REV. 17, OCTOBER 2015 The RADTRAD computer code developed for and endorsed by the NRC for AST analyses was used in the calculations. The RADTRAD program is a radiological consequence analysis code used to estimate post-accident doses at plant offsite locations and in the control room. The AST FHA analyses take no credit for SGTS operation, secondary containment isolation, or control room air intake or recirculation filtration for the full duration of the accident event. The fission product inventories for the damaged fuel in the RADTRAD analysis were determined based on the licensed core power level following extended power uprate (EPU) of 3473 megawatts thermal (MWt) and further adjusted to 102% (3542 MWt). The atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q) utilized are as found in Subsections 2.3.4 and 15.6.5.5. Assumptions used in the AST analysis for the FHA and the results are summarized below. This design basis AST FHA justifies the changes to Technical Specification (TS) requirements for the operability of certain Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems while fuel is being handled and during core alterations. In the most conservative FHA scenario, an irradiated fuel assembly is postulated to drop 34 feet onto the reactor core and cause the release of fission products from inside the fuel cladding that fails because of the impact. This scenario results in the largest number of fuel rod cladding failures and occurs in the primary containment building. This is because the fuel bundle drop in containment is from 34 feet and the corresponding FHA in the fuel building is from six feet. This bounding FHA was analyzed based on the AST provision for the condition when primary containment, secondary containment, and Standby Gas Treatment Systems (SGTS) are inoperable. This analysis demonstrates that the offsite and control room dose limits as specified in 10CFR50.67 would not be exceeded for irradiated fuel that had been allowed to decay for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months . The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months decay time is based on the minimum requirement for reactor sub-criticality prior to fuel movement as defined in the Operational Requirements Manual (ORM). By demonstrating that the dose limits will be met after a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months decay period, fuel assemblies can be handled without primary and secondary containment systems operable and without the SGTS operable. No credit is taken for administrative actions to manually close doors, hatches, and penetrations.The key assumptions for the analysis are as follows: 1. The analysis is based on guidance in RG 1.183 and Standard Review Plan 15.0.1.

2. The damaged fuel is assumed to be decayed for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months .

3. The limiting high burnup fuel type, GNF 2, that has a radial peaking factor of 1.7, was used to derive the source term. 4. The reactor power level is consevatively rated at 102% of the licensed power level (3542 MWt) which accounts for uncertainty. 5. The dual inlet control room ventilation is used including the radiation monitors at the inlets consistent with the requirements of the control room ventilation system TS.

3543 1.8 3543 CPS/USARCHAPTER 15 15.7-13 REV. 17, OCTOBER 2015 6. The existing atmospheric dispersion factors for the EAB, the LPZ, and the control room in the USAR continue to apply. 7. For this analysis, the limiting FHA occurs in the primary containment. 8. The FHA is as described in GE document NEDE-24011-P-A-14-US, dated June 2000, which results in 172 failed fuel rods that is caused by a 34 foot drop of a GE 14 fuel bundle that has a 10 x 10 array of fuel onto the reactor core. The NF-500 fuel handling mast is assumed to fall onto the core along with the fuel bundle. 9. Although the depth of the water in the containment assumed for this analysis is over 34 feet, the decontamination factors are conservatively based on a 23 foot depth of water. The TS minimum required water level above the top of the reactor pressure vessel flange is 22 feet and 8 inches. 10. The offsite dose limit is 6.3 Rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and the control room dose limit is 5 Rem TEDE for the worst case two hour release period. 11. Primary and secondary containment isolations were not credited.

12. The SGTS filtration was not credited. 13. The release of radioactive material was assumed to be directly into the wake of the containment and the ventilation flow into the control room enters through one of the two normal inlets that have radiation monitoring systems. 14. For the limiting scenario, filtration for the control room ventilation intake flow and recirculation flow is inoperable. 15. The calculated EAB dose bounds the LPZ dose. Because the dose limits are equal, EAB dose was used in the analysis. 16. No credit is taken for atmospheric dilution or mixing in the containment. A summary of the analysis assumptions is provided in Table 15.7.4-1.

15.7.4.3 Radiological Consequences The resulting dose consequences as calculated using AST releases and the other AST assumptions as described above for offsite and control room doses are provided in Table 15.7.4-4. As indicated, all results are within the AST acceptance criteria. The results indicate that the calculated consequences of a design basis FHA at or after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months of shutdown will be within regulatory limits without the requirement of containment closure, the need to have SGTS filtration, or the control room emergency ventilation system operational during

fuel movement.

specified leakage rate. The leakage rate is based on water as the test medium since these penetrations are designed to be sealed by the FWLCS. The 2 gpm leakage limit has been

shown by testing and analysis to bound the condition following a DBA LOCA where, for a limited time, both air and water are postulated to leak through this pathway. The leakage rate of each primary containment feedwater penetration is assumed to be the maximum pathway leakage, i.e., the leakage through the worst of the two isolation valves [either 1B21-F032A(B) or 1B21-F065A(B)] in each

penetration. This provides assurance that the assumptions in the radiological evaluations of References 1 and 2 are

met (Ref. 15).

Dose associated with leakage (both air and water) through the primary containment feedwater penetrations is considered

to be in addition to the dose associated with all other

secondary containment bypass leakage paths.

The Frequency is in accordance with the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

A Note is added to this SR which states that the primary containment feedwater penetrations are only required to meet this leakage limit in Modes 1, 2, and 3. In other conditions, the Reactor Coolant System is not pressurized and specific primary containment leakage limits are not

required.SR 3.6.1.3.12 This SR requires a demonstration that each instrumentation line excess flow check valve (EFCV) which communicates to the reactorcoolant pressure boundary (Ref. 16) is OPERABLE

by verifying that the valve activates within the required

flow range. For instrument lines connected to reactor

coolant pressure boundary, the EFCVs serve as an additional flow restrictor to the orifices that are installed inside the drywell (Ref. 14). The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.(continued)

ENCLOSURE 4Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 License Amendment RequestConservatismsin Post-LOCA Dose CalculationsPage 1of 2To address the impact of revised X/Qsand revised source term on Chapter 15 Accident Analyses, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) performed the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 (CPS)post-LOCA dose calculations, for the proposed change, in accordance with Regulatory Guide(RG) 1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents atNuclear Power Reactors."RG 1.183 requires a number of assumptions that result inconservative onsite and offsite dose values.In order to provide reasonable assurance of adequate margin to minimize the impact of potentialuncertainties in both the dose calculations and the input parameters, EGC evaluated the impactof additional conservative assumptions that are related to actual operating conditions or testingrequirements.The information below provides a sensitivity study of these additional conservatisms, whichprovides a qualitative estimate for the margin available in the current LOCA dose calculation,relative to the 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term,"limit. That is, the conservatisms were relaxed, on an individualbasis, and the calculation results were compared with the results obtained with theconservatism. All calculations were performed using the RADTRAD computer code, Version3.03.1.Leak-Before-Break CreditAs stated in RG 1.183 (i.e., in Section 3.3, "Timing of Release Phases"), for facilities licensedwith leak-before-break (LBB) methodology, the onset of gap release may be assumed to be10minutes. This assumption has been used by other licensees in alternative source term(AST) calculations; however, since CPS is not licensed with an LBB methodology, EGCassumed that gap release started at two minutes, in accordance with RG 1.183.In order to quantify the margin that this would provide, EGC revised the LOCA analysisto start the gap release at 10 minutes post-accident.In the reanalysis, decay during this 10-minute interval was ignored and the secondary containment bypass was terminated at nineminutes in the model. This is equivalent to a total positive pressure period of 19 minutes.The results of this reanalysis indicate that, with credit for LBB, there would be approximately a2.5% reduction in the postulated Control Roomdose.2.Containment Spray CreditRG 1.183 allows licensees to take credit for aerosol removal by containment sprays.EGC didnot credit spray removal in the CPS LOCA analysis, nor has it been modeled in the CPS LOCAanalysis. As an alternative, EGC utilized a surrogate LOCA model, based on the simplifiedspray model provided in NUREG/CR-5966, "A Simplified Model of Aerosol Removal byContainment Sprays,"to quantify the potential dose impact of containment sprays. In a SafetyEvaluation dated March 30, 2015 (i.e., ADAMS Accession No. ML15075A139), the NRC approved the use of this model in a full AST license amendment for the Perry Nuclear PowerPlant.

ENCLOSURE 4Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 License Amendment RequestConservatismsin Post-LOCA Dose CalculationsPage 2of 2The results of the reanalysis using the surrogate LOCA model, with credit for ContainmentSpray, indicates that there would be approximately a 20% reduction in the postulated Control Roomdose. Although the margin from this surrogate LOCA model is not directly applicable tothe CPS dose calculations, it does provide additional qualitative margin to the post-LOCAControl Roomdose value for CPS.

The fuel handling accident (FHA)analysis assumes operation of the Control Roomintake and recirculation filtration after 20-minutes post-accident. All of the other non-LOCA AST analyses take no credit for operation of the Standby Gas Treatment System, secondary containment isolation, or Control Roomair intake or recirculation filtration for the full duration of the accident event.Table 1:AST Accident Scenarios and Impact of the Proposed ChangesAST Accident ScenarioImpacted by Control RoomX/Q and/or revised source termJustificationFuel Handling Accident (FHA)YesThe FHA inside containment is limiting and assumes that containment integrity is not available or necessary. This analysisrequired use of a revised Control RoomX/Q and is discussed further below.Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA)YesAll activity released from the fuel is transported to the turbine/condenser prior to release to the atmosphere. This analysis is not impacted by the change in Control RoomX/Q. However, the calculation is impacted by the revised source term and is discussed further below.Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident outside containment NoAll activity released from the fuel is transported outside the primary and secondary containment to the environment. This analysis is not impacted by the change in Control RoomX/Q. Because the radionuclide release is based on the normal coolant activity, there is no impact due to the revised source term.Suppression Pool pHYesThe suppression pool pH calculation is impacted by the revised source term and is discussed further below.

The revisedFHA calculation addresses the NRC concern that the Control Roomremote intake dampers do not meet the single criteria.To address this concern, the revised analysis:1)removes the previous credit for the dualControl Roomremote air intake due to the single failure issues, 2) takes credit for the operation and filtration of the Control Roomemergency ventilation system after 20 minutes of the event with an activity release from Secondary Containment that does not credit the Primary Containment or Secondary Containment operability, 3) the Control Roomfiltered inleakage changes from 650 cubic feet per minute (cfm)to 1,000 cfm, 4) radial peaking factor changes from 1.7 to 1.8 (i.e., to provide margin to the cycle to cycle variation in core design), 5) updates the radionuclide inventoryfor an annual fuel cycle, and 6)incorporates a sensitivity study for a bounding 12 to 24-month fuel cycle core inventory.These changes are not initiators for an accident previously evaluated in the USAR.Thus, the inclusion of these changes in the revised calculation does not result in more than a minimal increase in the frequency of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated in the USAR.These changes in the revised analysis result in an increase in the dose consequences for the exclusion area boundary (EAB), the low population zone (LPZ) and the Control Room.The increase in dose consequences for the EAB, the LPZ,and the Control Roomis less than 10% ofthe difference between the current calculated values and the regulatory guideline values and the increaseddoses do not exceed the current SRP guideline value.For the EAB, the current calculated value is 0.48roentgen equivalent man (REM)Total Effective Dose Equivalent(TEDE)and the 10 CFR 50.67value is 25REM TEDE. Ten percent (i.e.,10%) of 25-0.48 is 2.452REM TEDE.The new calculated EAB value is 0.7243REMTEDEbased on the 12-month fuel cycle core inventory which bounds the dose consequences based on the 12 to24-month fuel cycle core inventory.The difference between the new EAB dose and the ENCLOSURE 5Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 License Amendment RequestImpact of Revised X/Q and Revised Source Term on Chapter 15 Accident AnalysesPage 3of 5current EAB dose is 0.7243-0.48 = 0.2443REMTEDE. Because the dose increase (i.e., 0.2443REM TEDE) is less than 10% of the difference between the current value and theregulatory value (i.e., 2.452REM TEDE) and remains below the current Standard Review Plan (SRP)guideline value of 6.3 REMTEDE, the increase in EAB dose is not considered a more than a minimal increase in the consequences ofan accident evaluated in theUSAR. For the LPZ, the current calculated value is 0.11TEDE and the 10 CFR 50.67valueis 25REMTEDE.

ENCLOSURE 6Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 License Amendment RequestEnvironmental Qualification Evaluation Due to Increased Source TermPage 1of 1The impact of the new annual fuel cycle core source term and the 12 to 24-month fuel cycle source term on the qualification of safety related equipment has been assessed.The evaluationidentified several Environmental Qualification (EQ)Zones and EQ dose calculations which would have slightly higher radiologicaldose (i.e., total integrated dose(TID))than currently credited in the equipment environmental qualification program. The impacted EQ Bindersassociated with these EQ Zones were then evaluated for the increased dose. These evaluations were consistent with the dose evaluation methodology as described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report.Equipment EQBindersidentified to have equipment in affected EQ zones were evaluated for impact on qualified lifeand accident and post-accident qualification of equipment.The environmental qualification of the safety related equipment is still maintained and bounded either by the existing qualification test and analyses established in the associated EQ Binders or with additional supporting qualification test reports for the affected equipment.Based on these evaluations there is no impact on the qualification of any safety-related equipment due to the change in the radiologicalconditions resulting from the revised accident source term.
