UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 327 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-77 AND AMENDMENT NO. 320 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-79 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEOUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-327 AND 50-328
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated October 20, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML092950340), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA, the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SON), Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes would delete paragraph g of TS 6.2.2, "Facility Staff," to eliminate working hour restrictions in the TSs, as similar requirements are sufficiently imposed by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 26, Subpart I.
The licensee stated that the application is consistent with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, Commission)-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) change traveler, TSTF-511, Revision 0, "Eliminate Working Hour Restrictions from TS 5.2.2 to Support Compliance with 10 CFR Part 26." The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79923), as part of the consolidated line item improvement process.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The history of NRC regulations pertaining to prevention of worker impairment is summarized in the Federal Register notice containing the final rule that amended 10 CFR Part 26 (73 FR 16966, March 31,2008). Subpart I, "Managing Fatigue," of 10 CFR Part 26 provides the regulatory requirements for managing worker fatigue at nuclear power plants.
The NRC regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.36, "Technical specifications." The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36 require that the TSs include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. The administrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.
-2 The NRC guidance for the format and content of the licensee TSs can be found in NUREG-1431, Revision 3, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants," referred to as Standard Technical Specifications (STSs). Section 5 of STSs contains administrative controls. Paragraph d of Section 5.2.2 of STSs contains requirements for administrative procedures to limit the working hours of personnel who perform safety-related functions. This paragraph represents NRC guidance on how licensees TS requirements should address work hour controls. Licensees adhere to the guidance to varying degrees due to minor administrative differences and differences in each licensee's current licensing basis. The inconsistent level of adherence to NRC guidance has led to inconsistent TS interpretation and implementation. This has also made it difficult for NRC to enforce the requirements.
The new requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I supersede TS requirements for limiting the working hours of personnel as described in paragraph d of Section 5.2.2 of STSs. Subpart I of 10 CFR Part 26 distinguishes between work-hour controls and fatigue management and strengthens the requirements for both. Subpart I of 10 CFR Part 26 requires nuclear power plant licensees to ensure against worker fatigue adversely affecting public health and safety and the common defense and security by establishing clear and enforceable requirements for the management of worker fatigue. Licensees are required to implement Subpart I of 10 CFR Part 26 by October 1, 2009, as announced in the final rule that revised 10 CFR Part 26 (73 FR 16966, March 31,2008). TSTF-511, Revision 0, proposed a change to STSs that would delete paragraph d of STS 5.2.2. This change was approved in the Federal Register notice on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79923).
2.1 Adoption of TSTF-511, Revision 0, by SON, Units 1 and 2 Proper adoption of TSTF-511 and implementation of 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I by TVA will provide reasonable assurance that TVA will maintain limits on the working hours of personnel who perform safety-related functions at SON, Unit 1 and 2. TVA stated the following:
TVA implemented 10 CFR Part 26 requirements for working hour restrictions on October 1, 2009. The 10 CFR Part 26 requirements are more restrictive than the current TS requirements and as such does not require a commitment. TVA will implement the proposed TS changes within 30 days after approval is received.
This does represent a deviation from the consolidated line item improvement process (CLlIP). However, this will have no impact on the NRC staff's model safety evaluation (SE) published on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79923).
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
Controls on work hours for personnel at nuclear power plants are necessary to prevent worker fatigue from adversely affecting public health and safety and the common defense and security.
Work-hour controls for SON, Units 1 and 2 are currently located in paragraph g of TS 6.2.2.
When the TS change is implemented, the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 26, Subpart I will effectively replace the plant-specific TS requirements currently found in SON, Units 1 and 2 TS 6.2.2, paragraph g.
-3 The licensee proposed deleting paragraph g of TS 6.2.2. Since the new requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, SUbpart I took effect on October 1, 2009, TVA must follow its requirements on work-hour controls.
The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change against the applicable regulatory requirements listed in Section 2.0 of this safety evaluation. The NRC staff also compared the proposed change to the change made to STSs by TSTF-511, Revision O. There is reasonable assurance that the licensee will comply with the regulations for work-hour controls through the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, at all times at SON Units 1 and 2. TVA must comply with both the SON Units 1 and 2 TSs and the regulations in 10 CFR Part 26, until the TS change is implemented. Therefore, the licensee will continue to prevent worker fatigue from adversely affecting public health and safety and the common defense and security. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change is acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Tennessee State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (74 FR 62837, December 1, 2009). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (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 amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
