Changes to the curves, limits, or parameters within this PTLR, based upon new irradiation fluence data of the RPV, or other plant design assumptions in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), can be made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, provided the above methodologies are utilized.

The revised PTLR shall be submitted to the NRC upon issuance, in accordance with TS Section 6.6.7. 4.0 OPERATING LIMITS The pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curves included in this report represent steam dome pressure versus minimum vessel coolant temperature (as measured from recirculation loop suction) and incorporate the appropriate non-beltline limits and irradiation embrittlement effects in the beltline region. The operating limits for pressure and temperature are required for three categories of operation: (a) hydrostatic pressure tests and leak tests, referred to as Curve A; (b) core not critical . . operation (heatup and cooldown), referred to as Curve B; and (c) core critical operation (heatup and cooldown), referred.to as Curve C. Complete P-T limit curves were developed for 28, 36 and 46 EFPY for NMP1, as documented in Reference 6.2. Only the NMP1 P-T limit curves for the current fluence period as documented in References 6.25 and 6.26 are included in this rep.ort. The applicable NMP1 P-T limit curves for this fluence period are included in Figures 1 through 3, and a tabulation of the curves* is included in Tables 1 through 3. Page 3 of 23 PTLR<-1 Revision 03.00 NMP1 Pressure and Temperature Limits Report Other conditions applicable to the NMP1 RPV are:

  • Heatup and Cooldown rate limit during Hydrostatic and Class 1 Leak Testing (Figure 1: Curve A): S 25"F/hour 1*
  • Normal Operating Heatup and Cooldown rate limit (Figure 2: Curve 8 -non-nuclear
  • heating, and Figure 3: Curve C -nuclear heating):

S 100"F/hour 2*

  • RPV head installation temperature (i.e., bolt-up) and core not critical limit (Figure 1: Curve A -Hydrostatic and Class 1 Leak Testing; Figure 2: Curve B -non-nuclear hea-ting): 70"F 3*
  • RPV flange and adjacent shell temperature core critical limit (Figure 3: Curve C -nuclear 100°F 4* 5.0 DISCUSSION The adjusted reference temperature (ART) of the limiting beltline material is used to adjust .beltline P-T curves to account for irradiation effects. Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 (Reference 6.6) provides the methods for determining the ART. The RG 1.99 methods for determining the limiting material and adjusting the P-T curves using ART are discussed in this section. The vessel beltline copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) values were obtained from the evaluation of the . . NMP1 vessel plate and weld materials (Reference 6.7). The Cu and Ni values were used with Tables 1 and 2 of RG 1.99 to determine a chemistry factor (CF) per Paragraph 1.1 of RG 1.99 for welds and plates, respectively.

1 Interpreted as: The temperature change in any 1-hour period is less than or equal to 25°F. 2 Interpreted as: The temperature change in any 1-hour period is less than or equal to 100°F. 3 A higher minimum bolt-up temperature of 70°F was applied to these curves, as compared to the 60°F value determined in Reference 6.2, in order to be consistent with the minimum bolt-up temperature value used in previous studies. 4 With water level within the normal range for power operation, the minimum criticality temperature of 1 OO"F is determined from the RT NDT of the closure flange region + 60"F. Page 4 of 23 PTLR-1 Revision 03.00 NMP1 Pressure and Temperature Limits Report The peak RPV inside diameter (ID) fluence value of 1.74 x 10 18 n/cm 2 at 46 EFPY used in the T curve evaluation was obtained from Reference 6.23 for the limiting ART. Neutron fluence values were calculated using methods that conform to the guidelines of RG 1.190 (Reference 6.3). This fluence value applies to the limiting beltline lower shell plate (Heat No. P2112 for NMP1). The fluence value for the lower shell plate is based upon an attenuation factor of 0.652 for a postulated 1/4T flaw. As a result the 1/4T fluence for 46 EFPY for the limiting lower shell plate is 1.14 x 10 18 n/cm 2. The peak RPV ID fluence validity period for the 46 EFPY curves remains until the end of operating cycle 25 (< 46 EFPY) as documented in Reference 6.26. The P-T limit curves for the core not critical and core critical operating conditions at a given EFPY apply for both the 1/4T and 3/4T locations.

When combining pressure and thermal stresses, it is usually necessary to evaluate stresses at the 1/4T location (inside surface flaw) and the 3/4T location (outside surface flaw). This is because the thermal gradient tensile stress of interest is in the inner wall during cooldown and is in the outer wall during heatup. However, as a conservative simplification, the thermal gradient stresses at the 1/4T location are ass.urned to be tensile for both heatup and cooldown.

This results in the approach of applying the maximum tensile stresses at the 1/4T location.

This approach is conservative because irradiation effects cause the allowable toughness at the 1/4T location to be less than that at the 3/4T location for a given metal temperature.

This approach causes no operational difficulties, since the boiling water reactor is at steam saturation conditions during normal operation, which is well above the P-T curve limits. For the core not critical curve (Curve 8) and the core critical curve (Curve C), the P-T curves are applicable for a coolant heatup and cooldown temperature rate of S 100°F/hr.

However, the core not critical and the core critical curves were also developed to bou-nd transients defined on the RPV thermal cycle diagram and the nozzle thermal cycle diagrams.

For the hydrostatic pressure and leak test curve (Curve A), a coolant heatup and cooldown temperature rate of S 25°F/hr must be maintained.

The P-T limits and corresponding limits of either Curve A or B may be applied, if necessary, while achieving or recovering from test conditions.

Thus, although Curve A applies during pressure testing, the limits of Curve B may be conservatively used during pressure testing if the pressure test heatup/cooldown rate limits cannot be maintained.

Page 5of23 PTLR-1 Revision 03.00 NMP1 Pressure and Temperature Limits Report The initial nil".'ductility transition reference temperature (RT Nor), the chemistry (weight-percent copper and nickel), and ART at the 1/4T location for all RPV beltline materials significantly affected by fluence (i.e., fluence > 10 17 n/cm 2 for E > 1 MeV) are shown in Table 4 for 46 EFPY, 1

  • based on Reference 6.24. The initial RT Nor values were determined and reported to the NRC in the NMP1 responses to NRC Generic Letter (GL) 92-01, Revision 1 (Reference 6.8) and GL 92-01, Revision 1, Supplement 1 (Reference 6.9). The NRC acknowledged these GL responses in letters dated March 30, 1994, August 26, 1996, and June 25, 1999 (References 6.10, 6.11, and 6.12, respectively).

The initial RT Nor values shown in Table 4 have previously been used in establishing the current TS P-T limit curves (license amendment approved by the NRC in Reference 6.5) and in evaluations contained in the License Renewal Application (approved by the NRC in Reference 6.13). Per Reference

6. 7 and in accordance with Appendix A of Reference 6.1, the NMP1 representative weld and plate surveillance materials data from the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP) Integrated Surveillance Program (ISP) were reviewed.

The representative heats of plate materials (P2112 and P2130) in the ISP are the same as the lower shell plate material in the vessel beltline region of NMP1. For plate heat P2112, since the scatter in the fitted results exceeds 1-sigma (1TF), the full 2-sigma margin term has been utilized in calculating the ART value for this plate in the vessel. For plate heat P2130, since the surveillance data was found to be credible, the margin term (cr11 = 1 TF) is divided by two for the plate material when calculating the ART. Therefore, the CFs from the NRC's Reactor Vessel Integrity Database (Reference 6.14) and Reference 6.6 were used in the determination of ART for all NMP1 materials except for plate heat P2130. The only computer code used in the determination of the NMP1 P-T curves was the ANSYS/Mechanical Release 6.1 (with Service Packs 2 and 3) finite element computer program (Reference 6.15) for the feedwater nozzle (non-beltline) stresses.

This analysis was performed to determine through-wall thermal and pressure stress distributions for the NMP1 feedwater nozzles due to a step-change thermal transient (Reference 6.16). The ANSYS program was controlled under the vendor's 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance Program for nuclear quality-related work; Benchmarking consistent with NRC Generic Letter 83-11, Supplement 1 (Reference 6.17), was performed as a part of the computer program verification by comparing the solutions produced by the computer code to hand calculations for several problems.

The following inputs were used in the finite element analysis:

Page 6of23 PTLR-1 Revision 03.00 NMP1 Pressure and Temperature Limits Report

  • With respect to operating conditions, stress distributions were developed for a thermal shock of 450°F, which represents the maximum thermal shock for the feedwater nozzle during normal operating conditions.

The stress results for a 450°F shock are appropriate for use in developing the non-beltline P-T curves based on the limiting feedwater nozzle, as a shock of 450° F is representative of the Turbine Roll transient that occurs in the . feedwater nozzle as part of the 1 oo* F /hr startup transient.

Therefore, these stresses represent the bounding stresses in the feedwater nozzle associated with 1 OO"F/hr heatup/cooldown limits associated with the P-T curves for the upper vessel feedwater nozzle region.

  • Heat transfer coefficients were calculated from the governing design basis stress report for the NMP1 feedwater nozzle and from a model of the. heat transfer coefficient as a function of flow rate, as shown in Table 5 (Reference 6.16). The heat transfer coefficients were evalu.ated at flow rates that bound the actual operating conditio.ns in the feedwater nozzles at NMP1.
  • A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element model of the feedwater nozzle was constructed (Figure 4) using the same modeling techniques that were employed to evaluate the feedwater nozzle in the governing design basis report. In order to. properly model the.feedwater nozzle, the analysis was performed as a penetration in a sphere and not in a cylinder.

To make up for this difference in geometry, a conversion factor of 3.2 times the cylinder radius was used to model the sphere (Reference 6.16). Material properties were evaluated at 325"F (Table 6) to conservatively bound the 100"F condition where the maximum stress occurred.

This program meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix H, for integrated surveillance programs, and has been approved by the NRC (see NMP1 License Amendment No. 184, Reference 6.18). The representative plate material from the ISP is not the same heat number as the target plate in the NMP1 vessel. Also, the representative weld material is not the same heat number as the target weld in the NMP1 vessel. However, there is one matching plate heat number (heat number P2130-2) in the Supplemental Surveillance Program (SSP). Irradiated data is available from SSP capsules A, 8, D, G, E, and I (Reference 6.7). Under the ISP, there is one weld heat that is scheduled to be test.ed in 2017. Representative surveillance capsule materials for the NMP1 weld are contained in the Hatch Unit 2 surveillance capsule program. Under the Supplemental Surveillance Program (SSP), there are no additional representative capsule materials to be tested.

____ _ Title: Revise NMPl Design Documents Impacted by Reload 24 FCP/ECP NOTE: For 50.59 Evaluations, information on this form will provide the basis for preparing the biennial summary report submitted to the NRC in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59(d)(2).

Description of Activity: (Provide a brief, concise description of what the proposed activity involves.)

The UFSAR Section X.H.1.0 Spent Fuel Storage Pool Filtering and Cooling System Design Bases states: "For a normal (full core offload or core shuffle) refueling, the offload time to the spent fuel pool and the RBCLC temperatures shall be verified to be consistent with a bulk pool temperature not to exceed 140°F with one cooling train operating." This activity performs the required UFSAR verification for NlR24.

  • The UFSAR Section V.C.4.0 and Appendix C require P-T limit curves to be periodically revised to account for changes in fracture toughness of the RPV components due to anticipated neutron embrittlement effects for higher accumulated fluences.

The proposed activity involves the revision of the P-T limits report to include revised P-T curves beyond the end-of-cycle

22. Reason for Activity: (Discuss why the proposed activity is being The UFSAR Section X.H.2.0 System Design notes the limiting design basis offload rates assuming maximum RBCLC temperatures of95°F and a full core offload. The system design also states that "A more expedited offload may be performed if the plant conditions exist to maintain the pool water temperature at or below 140°F with one SFC train operating." This activity evaluates the specific plant conditions required to control the offload time and the RBCLC temperatures to ensure one loop of SFC train maintains the bulk pool temperature below 140°F .. ECP-16-000510 is the reload ECP for NIR24/Cycle
23. This reload core design will include an increase in enrichment for the upper and lower sections of the fuel bundles. This reload ECP also includes new TRACG LOCA analysis.

These changes affect the core loading design. Hence, this reload ECP can affect the peak vessel fluence previously used to derive the 46 EFPY P-T curves. Calculation change notice (CCN) ECP-16-000510-CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 provides the technical basis to ensure previously developed 46 EFPY curves derived under previous ECPs remain conservative given the changes to neutron fluence. The *46 EFPY P-T curves are being issued in Revision 3 to PTLR-1. Effect of Activity: (Discuss how the activity impacts plant operations, design bases, or safety analyses described in the UFSAR.) The activity ensures the UFSAR requirement to verify and control the offload times and that RBCLC temperatures are sufficient to maintain the SFC bulk pool temperature below the 140°F design basis maximum assuming one SFC cooling loop operating.

This activity ensures previously developed PT curves referenced in plant procedures remain conservative for operation beyond cycle 22 up to the end-of-cycle

25. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: (Provide justification for the conclusion, including sufficient detail to recognize and understand the essential arguments leading to the conclusion.

Provide more than a simple statement that a 50.59 Screening, 50.59 Evaluation, or a License Amendment Request, as applicable, is not required.)

A 50.59 Screening was performed resulting in all five questions answered "no". The NlR24 offload restrictions and RBCLC restrictions are consistent with the UFSAR design basis requirements and do not required a 50.59 Evaluation, change to the Technical Specifications, or Facility Operating License. The PTLR revision is also consistent with UFSAR design basis requirements.

50.59 SCREENING FORM 50.59 Screening No. 5059-2017-120 Rev. No. 00.00 Activity/Document Number: ECP-16-000510 Revision Number: 00.00 Title: Revise NMPl Design Documents Impacted by Reload 24 FCP/ECP LS-AA-104-1003 Revision 4 Page 1 of5 I. 50.59 Screening Questions (Check correct response and provide separate written response providing the basis for the answer to each question)(See Section 5 of the Resource Manual (RM) for additional guidance):

1. Does the proposed Activity involve a change to an SSC that adversely affects an UFSAR described design function? (See Section 5.2.2.1 of the RM) Fuel Bundle Offload Times: The UFSAR Section X.H.1.0 Spent Fuel Storage Pool Filtering and Cooling System Design Basis states:
  • For a normal (ji1ll core ojjload or core shujjle) refi1eling, the ojjload time to the spentfi1el pool and the RBCLC temperatures shall be verified to be consistent with a bulk pool temperature not to exceed 140°Fwith one cooling train operating.

The UFSAR Section X.H.2.0 System Design notes the limiting design basis offload rates assuming maximum RBCLC temperature of95°F and a full core offload. The system design also states that "A more expedited ojjload may be performed if the pla"f!t conditions exist to maintain the pool water temperature at or below J 40°Fwith one SFC train operating." The change notice ECP,16-000510-CN-002 to the design basis engineering calculation S14-54HX018 evaluates the N1R24 specific conditions to demonstrate that the core offload time and RBCLC temperatures are verified to ensure the bulk pool temperature does not exceed the UFSAR design basis maximum of 140°F. The conclusion is that the activity is consistent with the UFSAR provisions to allow for crediting actual refueling offload conditions to verify that the design basis is maintained during the offload and is not a change to an SSC that adversely affects the UFSAR. Revised Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR-1):

UFSAR Section V.C.4.1 through V.C.4.6 describes the design basis and the design function of the pressure temperature curves and the fact that the P-T curves are maintained in the PTLR. The design function of the P-T curve limits as described in UFSAR is to specify maximum allowable pressure as a function ofreactor coolant temperature during heat-up, cooldown and core operation to ensure the reactor pressure boundary is operated with fracture toughness limits specified by ASME XI and 10CFR50 Appendix G. UFSAR Section C.2.1.2 states that the P-T limit curves will be periodically revised to account for changes in fracture toughness of the RPV components due to anticipated neutron embrittlement effects for higher accumulated fluences.

This section also states that the calculation of P-T limit curves using the projected fluence at the end of the period of extended operation would result in unnecessarily restrictive operating curves. However, projection of the adjusted reference temperature (ART), which is used in development of the curves, to the end of the period of extended operation provides assurance that development of P-T limit curves will be feasible up to the maximum predicted effective full power year (EFPY). ECP-16-000510 is the reload ECP for N1R24/Cycle

23. This reload core design will include an increase in enrichment for the upper and lower sections of the fuel bundles. This reload ECP also includes new TRACG LOCA analysis.

These changes affect the core loading design. Hence, this reload ECP can affect the peak vessel fluence previously used to derive the 46 EFPY P-T curves. Calculation change notice (CCN) ECP-16-000510-CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 provides the technical basis to ensure previously developed 46 EFPY curves derived under previous ECPs DYES 50.59 SCREENING FORM 50.59 Screening No. 5059-2017-120 Rev. No. 00.00 Activity/Document Number: ECP-16-000510 Revision Number: 00.00 Title: Revise NMPl Design Documents Impacted by Reload 24 FCP/ECP remain conservative given the changes to neutron fluence. The 46 EFPY P-T curves are being issued in Revision 3 to PTLR-1. The CCN determined that the projected fluence used to develop the 46 EFPY curves in PTLR-1 Revision 3 is bounded until the end-of-cycle 25 despite the potential impacts on fluence created . by the reload ECP core design. Therefore, the function of the P-T curves as described in the UFSAR is not adversely impacted by the new curves incorporated into PTLR-1Revision3.

2. Does the proposed Activity involve a change to a procedure that adversely affects how UFSAR described SSC design functions are performed or controlled? (See Section 5.2.2.2 of the RM) Fuel Bundle Offload Times: The UFSAR Sections X.H.1.0 and 2.0 provision to control the offload time and RBCLC temperature are implemented through operating procedures that provide the specific offload and RBCLC restrictions based on the cycle specific N1R24 conditions.

The restrictions on the offload time and RBCLC temperature are defined in the calculation and through the ECP-15-000510-CN-002 procedure changes are implemented to Nl-OP-4 and Nl-OP-34.

The conclusion is that the changes to the procedures are consistent with the UFSAR design basis as noted in question I and therefore the change does not adversely affect how the UFSAR described SSC design functions are performed or controlled.

Revised Pressure Temperature Limits Report CPTLR-1):

The PTLR curves are directly referenced and/or pressure/temperature values from the curves are directly incorporated into plant operating, maintenance and surveillance procedures Nl-OP-34, NI-OP-43A, Nl-OP-43C, Nl-ST-R30 and Nl-MMP-GEN-901.

The above listed procedures are not adversely affected by the 46 EFPY curves added to the PTLR provided the curves are limited for use until the end-of-cycle 25 as evaluated in ECP-16-00051 CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 for the potential changes to fluence resulting from the reload ECP. Nl-OP-34, Nl-OP-43A and Nl-OP-43C provide direction to operate, cooldown and heat-up the reactor within the limits of the PTLR curves. The new PT curves do not adversely restrict operation of the station as there is significant operating margin to the right of the curves. The latest revision ofNl-ST-R30 (Revision

13) used pressure/temperature values based on a previously derived and approved PT Pressure Test Curve A for 46 EFPY in ECP-10-000337-CN-007 0800297.301.

ECP-16-000510-CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 has determined that the pressure/temperature values in the existing revision ofN1-ST-R30 remain valid until the operating cycle 25. Nl-MMP-GEN-901 incorporates allowable bolt-up temperatures described in the USF AR. The revised PTLR does not change the allowable bolt-up temperature.

3. Does the proposed Activity involve an adverse change to an element of a UFSAR described evaluation methodology, or use of an alternative evaluation methodology, that is used in establishing the design bases or used in the safety analyses? (See Section 5.2.2.3 of the RM) Fuel Bundle Offload Times: The UFSAR does not provide a specific methodology for performing the verification of maximum spent fuel temperature for defining the offload times to the spent fuel pool. The NMPI GNF2 Cycle Independent Analyses document provides the cycle-independent decay LS-AA-104-1003 Revision 4 Page 2 of5 DYES DYES 50.59 SCREENING FORM 50.59 Screening No. 5059-2017-120 Rev. No. 00.00 Activity/Document Number: ECP-16-000510 Revision Number: 00.00 Title: Revise NMPl Design Documents Impacted by Reload 24 FCP/ECP heat safety analysis for GNF2 fuel at Nine Mile Point Unit I. Per table 3.3, Decay Heat Inputs for NMP-1 GNF2 _Equilibrium cycle, ANSI/ANS-51.1-1979 (including GE SIL No. 636) was used as the standard to calculate the decay heat values. The decay heat values for N1R24 were evaluated under ANSI/ANS-5.1-1994, which also included GE SIL No. 636. Analysis of both cases was performed under Attachment A in ECP-16-000510 and shows consistency between the GNF2 safety analysis and the.cycle-specific decay heat values within 2cr and does not constitute an adverse change. The specific evaluation of the core shuffle conditions where the spent fuel pool is considered the combined spent fuel pool and vessel cavity with the spent fuel pool gates open is included in the Sl4-54HX018 GOTHIC model. The conditions where the reactor shutdown cooling system is secured and the single spent fuel pool cooling loop is evaluated to maintain the combined cavity and pool below 140°F is evaluated consistent with the base calculation.

To ensure a conservative interpretation of the UFSAR design requirement the pool average conditions include the average core exit bulk cavity temperature remains below the 140 degree limit. This condition defines the restrictions on RBCLC temperature and core offload time restrictions.

The offload time restrictions and RBCLC restrictions are defined in the calculation and implemented conservatively into the operating procedures.

Revised Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR-1):

UFSAR Section V.C.4.1 describes the PT limit curves as being developed using the methodology specified in Licensing Topical Report SIR-05-044-A and ASME Code Case N-640, as well as 10CFR50 Appendix G, and the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI, Appendix G. The PTLR-1Revision3 PT limit curves were developed under a previous ECP using the same methodology described in UFSAR Section V.C.4.1. UFSAR Sec.tion V.C.4.3 describes the PT limit curve for the in-service system pressure tests being based on a calculated adjustment to the RTNDT* based on Revision 2 ofRG 1.99 to account for the effect of fast neutrons.

Similarly section V.C.4.5 describes the use ofRG 1.99 methodology to adjust the nil-ductility reference temperature.

The PTLR-1 Revision 3 PT limit curves for the in-service system pressure tests and core critical and not critical heat-up and 'cooldown used the methodology ofRG 1.99 Revision 2 to adjust the RTNDT. UFSAR Section V.C.4.6 describes that reactor vessel neutron fluence has been evaluated using a method in accordance with the recommendations ofRG 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence," dated March 2001. Future evaluations ofreactor vessel fluence will be completed using a methop in accordance with the recommendations ofRG 1.190. CCN ECP-16-000510-CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 used a previous fluence calculation spreadsheet to extrapolate and project fluence at the end-of-cycle

25. The previous fluence calculation spreadsheet was developed using the methodology described in UFSAR Section V.C.4.6. Based on the above review the proposed change to the PT limits report does not involve a change in PT limit cu.rve calculation methodology described in the UFSAR. 4. Does the proposed Activity involve a test or experiment not described in the UFSAR, where an SSC is utilized or controlled in a manner that is outside the reference bounds of the design for that LS-AA-104-1003 Revision 4 Page 3 of5 DYES [8JNO

.. 50.59 SCREENING FORM 50.59 Screening No. 5059-2017-120 Rev.

(See Section 5.2.2.4 of the RM) Fuel Bundle Offload Times: The restrictions established on RBCLC and offload parameters are based on the engineering calculation for the NlR24 offload and are cycle specific.

These restrictions control the same parameters on the offload and RBCLC in previous cycles to ensure the spent fuel pool remains below 140 degrees with one SFC loop in service. Therefore the restrictions established and implemented in the OP changes are consistent with the UFSAR Section X.H provisions and this activity does not involve a test or experiment not described in the UFSAR where an SCC is utilized or controlled in a manner that is outside the reference bounds. Revised Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR-1):

The revised PTLR incorporates new pressure temperature curves that have accounted for the potential effects of neutron fluence changes using methods previously described in the USF AR. Therefore, use of the revised PT curves is does not involve a test or experiment.

5. Does the proposed Activity require a change to the Technical Specifications or Facility Operating License? (See Section 5.2.2.5 of the RM) No changes are required to either the Technical Specifications or the Facility Operating License. Tech Spec S.ection 1.18 states that the PTLR limit curves shall be determined for each fluence period in accordance with Specification 6.6.7. Tech Specs 3 .2.113 .2.2 requires reactor vessel heat-up, cool down rates, low temperature operation, criticality and in-service leakage testing be maintained within the limits of the PTLR. Tech Spec 6.6.7 describes the analytical methods used to determine pressure and temperature limits. The proposed changes to the PTLR as evaluated in CCN ECP-16-000510-CN-001 0800297.301-01.00 do not require a change to the Technical Specification or Facility Operating License as the changes were made consistent with the Tech Spec requirements.
