NPF-9 and NPF-11 issued to Duke Power Company LLC, et al., for operation of the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The proposed amendments would approve changes to the current licensing basesfor the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, emergency core cooling system containment
sump strainers. Before issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission will havemade findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations. The Commission has made a proposed determination that the amendment requestinvolves no significant hazards consideration. Under the Commission's regulations in Title 10 of the CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previouslyevaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?Response: No.
Implementation of the proposed amendment does not significantly increase theprobability or the consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The ECCS
[emergency core cooling system] containment sump functions in the mitigation of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). It is not an accident initiator.Commitments to Regulatory Guide 1.82, Rev 0, as currently described in the UFSAR[Updated Final Safety Analysis Report], are being revised to establish appropriateexceptions associated with the modified ECCS sump strainer design. This modified ECCS containment sump assembly, consisting of a complex geometry, and crediting all effective strainer surface area, was designed using the methodology contained in NEI 04-07, "Pressurized Water Reactor Sump Performance Evaluation Methodology," Rev 0, and the associated NRC [Nuclear Regulatory Commission] Safety Evaluation Report.Removal of the implied licensing basis requirement to physically separate thecontainment sump into two halves or provide ECCS train separation within the same containment sump will not impact the assumptions made in Chapter 15 of the McGuire UFSAR. There are no changes in any failure mode or effects analysis associated with this change. Since there are no credible failures which could result in the introduction of debris within the strainer assembly, the need to provide this physical separation is not warranted.Although the configurations of the existing ECCS containment sump trash racks andscreen and the replacement sump strainer assemblies are different, they serve the same fundamental purpose of passively removing debris from the sump's suction supply of the supported system pumps. Removal of trash racks does not impact the adequacy of the pump NPSH [net positive suction head] assumed in the safety analysis. Likewise, the change does not reduce the reliability of any supported systems or introduce any new system interactions. The greatly increased surface area of the modified strainer is designed to reduce head loss.Thus, based on the above, the proposed change does not involve a significant increasein the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind ofaccident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.The proposed amendment will not create the possibility of a new or different kind ofaccident. The ECCS containment sump strainer serves as a passive component of the ECCS accident mitigation system. It is, therefore, not an accident initiator. The modified design requirements result in a strainer that performs the same functions in the same manner as the original design, such that no different kind of accident is created.A change to McGuire Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement [SR] 3.5.2.8does not alter the nature of events postulated in the Safety Analysis Report nor do they introduce any unique precursor mechanisms. Therefore, the proposed changes will not create the possibility of a new or different kindof accident from any accident previously evaluated.3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in the margin ofsafety?Response: No.
Margin of safety is related to the confidence in the ability of the fission product barriersto perform their design functions during and following an accident situation. These barriers include the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system, and the containment system. The performance of the containment system, fuel cladding, and the reactor coolant system will not be impacted by the proposed change.Duke's [the licensee's] evaluation concludes that there are no credible failuremechanisms applicable to the modified ECCS containment sump strainer design. The revised design requirements result in enhanced strainer performance under more conservative debris loading assumptions.The proposed change to Technical Specification SR 3.5.2.8 will have no effect on themanner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or limiting conditions for operation are determined nor will there be any effect on those plant systems necessary to assure the accomplishment of protective functions. The proposed change does not adversely affect the fuel, fuel cladding, Reactor Coolant System, or containmentintegrity.Thus, it is concluded that the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction inthe margin of safety.The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, itappears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination. Anycomments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determination. Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of 60 daysafter the date of publication of this notice. The Commission may issue the license amendment before expiration of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration. In addition, the Commission may issue the amendment prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period should circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example, in derating or shutdown of the facility. Should the Commission take action prior to the expiration of either the comment period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice of issuance. Should the Commission make a final No SignificantHazards Consideration Determination, any hearing will take place after issuance. The Commission expects that the need to take this action will occur very infrequently.Written comments may be submitted by mail to the Chief, Rulemaking, Directives andEditing Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and should cite the publication date and page number of this Federal Register notice. Written comments may also be delivered toRoom 6D59, Two White Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30 a.m.
to 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
