II. PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 (Referenco 2) revised the methodology used to evaluate -

i neutron radiation embrittlement of reactor vessel beltline materials. Generic Letter 88-11 (Reference 1) requests licensees to use Revision 2 of the regulatory guide to evaluate predicted -

embrittlement.- The Authority has reevaluated the effect of neutron radiation on reactor vessel materials (Reference 3) and is changing the pressure temperature limits contained in the -

Fitzpatrick Technict.1 Specifications. This proposed change is consistent with the requirements of Section V of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G..

Attachment ll SAFETY EVALUATION Page 3 of 6

Background

Specification 3.6.A,

  • Pressurization and Thermal Umits," establishes, in part, pressure-temperature curves which define the minimum pressure and temperature for three reactor operating conditions: 1) system hydrostatic and leakage tests,2) heatup and cooldown, and 3) core critical operation. These pressure-temperature curves protect the reactor pressure vessel from brittle failure by clearly identifying the regions where the vessel is subject to brittle fracture failure modes.

Amendment 113 (Reference 4) revised the pressure-temperature limits to be consistent with test results and analyses performed on the irradiated surveillance capsule removed from the Fitzpatrick reactor in April,1985. (Surveillance capsules are installed in the reactor vessel before startup and contain test specimens that are made from the plate, weld, and heat affected zone materials of the reactor beltline.) Radiation embrittlement was calculated using the surveillance data and adjusting the nil-ductility reference temperature (RTNDT ) in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 1 methodology.

The effect of neutron radiation on reactor vessel materials has been recalculated (Reference 3) in accordance with Generic Letter 88-11 and Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2. The resultant shift in RT NTO bounds the previously calculated results for the beltline region of the core.

New beltline Pressure-Temperature curves were developed for operation to 12,14, and 16 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY). The non-beltline region curves (recirculation inlet nozzles and head flanges) are not affected by the changes to RTNTD shift associated with Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2.

The beltline curves apply to the vessel plates and welds and are limiting above 500 psig. For example, at a 1000 psig on the leak test curve, the required test temperature is 192 F for 16 EFPY compared to the current limitation of 157 F.  ;

\

ll1. IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES The purpose of Specification 3.6.A, " Pressurization and Thermal Umits," is to establish operating limits that provide a wide margin to brittle failure of the reactor pressure vessel. The basis of the Pressure-Temperature (P-T) limits is found in Appendix G to 10 CFR 50 and in Section 4.2 of the updated FSAR. The limits are not derived from the design basis accident analyses, but are prescribed to avoid encountering pressures, temperatures, and temperature rate-of-changes which might cause undetected flaws to propagate.

The first technical specification change lowers the P-T curves (i.e., a higher temperature is l required for a given pressure) which in turn " narrows" the reactor coolant system operating window and lengthens the time required for hydrostatic testing. This change is consistent with Generic Letter 88-11 to ensure a conservative margin to non-ductile failure.

The new P-T curves were developed for three service periods: 512 EFPYs,514 EFPYs, and 5 16 EFPYs. The use of three curves instead of one lessens operational impacts by phasing the increases in minimum temperature over three distinct service periods. Each set of P T curves is I

.' l

~ Attachment il .

SAFETY EVALUATION Page 4 of 6 conservative, because the conditions at the end of each servise period (12,14,' or 16 EFPY)' yield the highest fluence and, therefore, the largest predicted shift in RTNTD-The second change revises the text of Sections 3.6.A and its associated Bases. The change also updates the Ust of Figures provided at the beginning of the Fitzpatrick Technical Specifications.

These changes are editorial in nature and reflect the new limits on pressure and temperature.

~ Both proposed changes are administrative in nature. They do not involve any physical .

modification to the plant, nor do they introduce any new failure modes. The changes do not alter the conclusions of the safety analyses contained in the FSAR and the NRC staff's SER.

IV. EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Operation of the James A(RtzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in accordance.with the proposed amendment would not involve a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92, 4 since it would not:

1. involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The effect of neutron radiation on reactor vessel materials has been recalculated using the latest NRC approved guidance (Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 methodology).

The resultant changes to the pressure temperature limits contained in Specification 3.6.A -

- will preclude brittle fracture failure of the reactor vessel. The requirements on pressure .  ;

temperature limitations contained in FSAR Section 4.2 are unaffected.

~

Changes are also proposed to Section 3.6.A and its associated Bases to reflect the new l pressure-temperature curves. These changes are editorial in nature and , as such, can not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from those previously evaluated.

The proposed changes revise existing limitations and are administrative in nature. They_ do not involve any physical modification to the plant, nor do they introduce any new failure-modes.

The changes to Section 3.6.A and its Bases Section are editorial in nature; thus, they can >

not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from those previously '

evaluated.

, 3. involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety. The safety margins are increased because the new Pressure Temperature limitations are more conservative (restrictive) and a more' accurate method is used to predict radiation embrittlement.-

The changes to Section 3.6.A and its Bases Section are editorial in nature; thus, they can not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

-.  : AttachmentII:

SAFETY EVALUATION-Page 5 o'6 in the April 6,1983 Federal Register (48FR14870), NRC published examples of license amendments that are not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration.' Examples (1) and -

' (vil) are applicable to these changes, (i) ' A purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, .

a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature. g p

(vil) A change to make a license conform to the change in the regulations, where the license change results in very minor changes to facility operations clearly in keeping with the regulations.

V. - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES f

implementation of the proposed changes do not impact the Fire Protection Program at the l FitzPatrick plant, nor.will the change impact the environment.  :

VI. CONCLUSION The changes, as proposed, do not constitute an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59. That is, they:

a. will not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report;
b. will not increase the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report;
c. will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification; -
