1Pre-Application Meeting License Amendment for TSTF-425Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled ProgramXcel Energy (XE)Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant12-12-17 1 2Agenda*Meeting Purpose
- Background and Schedules
- License Amendment Request (LAR) Interface
- Proposed Approach
- Summary*Feedback and Questions 2
3Meeting Purpose
-Potential exists to relocate several TSSR frequencies to the Surveillance Frequency Change Program (SFCP) that are a part of the TSTF-542 LAR currently under NRC review
- Obtain staff feedback on proposed approach 3
4Background & Schedules
- TSTF-425-Risk-Informed Justification for the Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled Program (Initiative 5b)
-Licensee controlled program called the SFCPand is in accordance with NEI04-10
-Planned submittal December 2017 with minimal variation from the TSTF
-Requesting approval by January 2019
-Implement prior to Spring 2019 Refueling Outage (RFO)4 5Background & Schedules
- TSTF-542-Replaces the existing TSrequirements related to "operations which have the potential for draining the reactor vessel" (OPDRVs) with new requirements on Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control (RPV WIC) to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.4
-Submitted October 2017
-Requested approval by December 20, 2018
-Acceptance letter indicated approval by October 2018
-Implemented prior to Spring 2019 RFO 5
6Background & Schedules
- Timing of Submittals & Approvals:
-October 20, 2017 -TSTF-542 submittal
-December 2017 -TSTF-425 submittal
-October 2018 -TSTF-542 approval (per acceptance letter)
-January 2019 -TSTF-425 potential approval
-Prior to Spring RFO(April 2019) -TSTF-542 and TSTF-425 implemented 6
7LAR Interface
- TSTF-542 TSSRs frequencies eligible for relocation to the SFCPunder TSTF-425
-TSSR affected (new surveillances, wording changes, frequency change from InserviceTest (IST) to periodic)
-LARs arenot linked
- TSTF-542 allows relocating the TSSR frequencies to SFCP (NUREG-1433 has incorporated TSTF-425)
- TSTF-542 variations remain in scope of TSTF-425 7
8Proposed Approach
- Efficiency promoted for both XEand NRC
- XErelocation to SFCPall under one application
- NRC noticing and review occurs once within TSTF-425 and not an additional application
- Precedent 8 9Proposed Approach
- TSMarkups:
-New TS3.3.5.3
- New SR 3.3.5.3.1
- New SR 3.3.5.3.2
-Modified TS3.5.2
- Changed SR 3.5.2.1
- Changed SR 3.5.2.2
- Changed SR 3.5.2.4
- Changed SR 3.5.2.5
- New SR 3.5.2.6
- New SR 3.5.2.7 9
10Proposed Approach
- Proposed Timeline
-October 2017 -TSTF-542 submittal
-December 2017 -TSTF-425 submittal
-October 2018 -TSTF-542 approval
-October 2018 -Supplement TSTF-425 LAR
-January 2019 -TSTF-425 approval
-April 2019 -TSTF-542 and TSTF-425 implemented prior to Spring 2019 RFO10 11Summary*SR's associated with TSTF-542 are eligible for relocation to the SFCP
-TSTF-542 recognizes and provides options for licensees with SFCPs
-Relocating TSTF-542 frequencies is within the scope of TSTF-425 *Proposed approach to supplement TSTF-425 LAR after approval of TSTF-542
-Precedent-LARs not linked
-Promotes XEand Staff efficiency11 12Feedback and Questions12?
