References:
(1) Letter from P. R. Simpson (Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC)) to NRC, "Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt TSTF
-542, 'Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control,'" dated February 10, 2017 (2) Letter from R. S. Haskell (NRC) to B. C. Hanson (EGC), "Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 a nd 3 - Request f or Additional Information Related to License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications t o Adopt Technical Specification Task Force Traveler
-542, Revision 2, 'Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control
' (C AC Nos. M F 9295 a nd M F 9296)," dated Ju ly 11, 2017 In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) submitted a request for amendment s to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3. Specifically, EGC requested that the NRC complete its review and approval of the request to adopt TSTF
-542 by August 1, 2017, in order to support its implementation prior to the upcoming DNPS, Unit 2 refueling outage in October 2017.
In Reference 2, the NRC determined that additional information is required to complete the evaluation of the R eference 1 request
. The details of Reference 2 are contained in Attachment
- 1. Additional ly, on May 26, 2017, the NRC issued Operating License Amendment Nos. 254 and 247 for DNPS, Units 2 and 3, respectively. These amendments allow for the adoption of TSTF
-545, "TS Inservice Testing Program Removal and Clarify Surveillance Requirement Usage Rule Application to Section 5.5 Testing
." Attachment 2 to this letter provides revised markups of the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 TS to address the issues identified in Reference 2
, and the adoption of TSTF
-545. These markups supersede those provided in Reference 1, Attachment 2. Attachment 3 provides the accompanying revised TS pages associated with the modifications shown in Attachment 2 as discussed above. Likewise, these July 13 , 2017 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 pages supersede those prov i ded i n Reference 1 , Attachment
- 3. To account fo r the adopt i on of TSTF-545 , the lnserv i ce Testing Program definit i on is included in Attachments 2 and 3 on Page 1.1-3 , and the Frequencies for Surve i llance Requirements 3.6.1.3. 5 and 3.6.1.3.6 were updated to account for this new TS definition as shown on Attachment 3, Page 3.6.1.3-7. EGC has reviewed the information supporting a finding of no significant hazards consideration, and the environmental consideration, that were previously provided to the NRC in Reference
- 1. The additional information provided in this submittal does not affect the bases for concluding that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
In addition, the information provided in this submittal does not affect the bases for concluding that neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
EGC is notifying the State of Illinois of this supplement to a previous application for a change to the TS by sending a copy of this letter and its attachment to the designated State Official in accorda n ce with 1 O CFR 50.91, "Notice for public comment; State consultation," paragraph (b). Based on the NRC's rev i ew t i mel i ne assoc i ated w i th the Reference 1 request and recent te l ephone conversat i ons w it h the Office of Nuc l ear Reactor Regulation Pro j ect Manager for DNPS , Units 2 and 3 , Russe ll Haske ll, i t does not appear t ha t the Reference 1 request wi ll be approved w i th adequate t i me to i mp l e m en t the changes ahead of th e October 2017 DNPS , Unit 2 r ef u el in g outage. Therefore , EGC hereby p r oposes that once the Reference 1 request i s appro v ed , the amendments shall be implemented for DNPS , Units 2 and 3 prior to the beginning of the next Un i t 3 refue li ng outage , D3R25 , currently planned f or October 201 B. There are no r egulatory commitments contained w i thin this letter. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Mitchel A. Mathews at (630) 657-2819.

-249 By application dated February 10, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 17045A006), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC, the licensee), requested to adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler (TSTF
-542), "Reactor Pressure Vessel [RPV] Water Inventory Control [WIC]," Revision 2, which would change the technical specifications (TSs) for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. TSTF-542, Revision 2, was approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on December 20, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 16343B008). The proposed changes would replace the existing requirements in the TSs related to "operations with the potential to drain the reactor pressure vessel" with revised TSs providing an alternative for RPV WIC. These alternative requirements would protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3, which requires RPV water level to be greater than the top of active fuel. The NRC staff has reviewed the information the licensee provided that supports the proposed amendment. The staff requests the licensee to address the following issues:
DNPS-RAl-1:
Background:
In Attachment 2, pg. 3.5.2
-1 (of the submittal), the staff identified a discrepancy in the limiting condition for operation (LCO) 3.5.2, Applicability proposed markup. The current TS LCO consists of text not shown in the proposed LCO markup as being deleted. Specifically, there is missing text associated with the MODE 5 exception (i.e., "except with the spent fuel storage pool gates removed and water level ~ 23 ft. over the top of the reactor pressure vessel flange").
ATTACHMENT 1
- DETAILS OF NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2 Request: Please correct the proposed TS markup as appropriate.
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) Response The requested change is incorporated in the revised markup included in Attachment 2 on Page 3.5.2-1. DNPS-RAl-2:
Background:
In Attachment 2, pg. 3.5.2
-6 (of the submittal), the NRC staff identified a discrepancy. The current TS surveillance requirement (SR) consists of text not shown in the proposed SR markup as being deleted. Specifically, SR 3.5.2.4 is missing the opera ting parameter data (i.e., System, Flow Rate, Pumps, Pressure), as per TSTF
-542, Revision 2.
Request:
Please correct the proposed TS markup as appropriate.
EGC Response The requested change is incorporated in the revised markup included in Attachment 2 on Page 3.5.2-5. Additionally, the Surveillance Frequencies for the proposed SR 3.5.2.5 and SR 3.5.2.6 were revised to "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program" versus "In accordance with the Inservice Testing Program." This corrects an error in the February 10, 2017, EGC submittal and aligns with TSTF
-542. DNPS-RAl-3:
Background:
In Attachment 2, pg. 3.5.2
-6 (of the submittal), the NRC staff identified a discrepancy. The current TS SR consists of text not shown in the proposed SR markup as being deleted. Specifically, SR 3.5.2.5 is missing from the proposed markup page.
Request:
Please correct the proposed TS markup as appropriate.
EGC Response The requested change is incorporated in the revised markup included in Attachment 2 on Page 3.5.2-5.
ATTACHMENT 1
- DETAILS OF NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 3 DNPS-RAl-4:
Background:
In Attachment 2 (of the submittal), the NRC staff identified a discrepancy. SR 3.8.2.1 (note 2) has not been revised to show the new title for LCO 3.5.2.
Request: Please correct the proposed TS markup as appropriate.
EGC Response The requested change is incorporated in the revised markup and revised page on Page 3.8.2-3 included in Attachment s 2 and 3, respectively
