"License Amendment Request for Extended Power Uprate," August 12, 2011, Accession No. ML11234A283 By letter L-2010-259 dated November 22, 2010 [Reference 1], Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested to amend Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-67 and revise the St. Lucie Unit I Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment will increase the unit's licensed core thermal power level from 2700 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3020 MWt and revise the Renewed Facility Operating License and TS to support operation at this increased core thermal power level. This represents an approximate increase of 11.85% and is therefore considered an Extended Power Uprate (EPU).

By email from the NRC Project Manager dated June 21, 2011 [Reference 2], additional information related to accident dose was requested by the NRC staff in the Accident Dose Branch (AADB) to support their review of the EPU LAR. The request for additional information (RAI) identified sixteen questions. The response to this RAI was provided in FPL letter dated August 12, 2011 [Reference 3].

an FPL Group company

St. Lucie Unit I L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Page 2 of 2 The Reference 3 submittal included updated site meteorological data and associated revised atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q's). The accident dose analysis calculations have been revised to incorporate the data submitted in Reference 3. Attachment I to this letter provides the results of the revised accident dose calculations.

As a result of the revised accident dose calculations, FPL is proposing to revise the TS to limit the radioactivity in the gas storage tanks to 165,000 curies noble gases. Attachment 2 contains a revision to the EPU proposed change to TS 3.11.2.6, Radioactive Effluents - Gas Storage Tanks.

The EPU LAR originally proposed to limit the radioactivity in the gas storage tanks to 202,500 curies noble gases. Attachment 3 contains the marked-up and clean pages to support the proposed TS revision.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the designated State of Florida official.

This submittal does not alter the significant hazards consideration or environmental assessment previously submitted by FPL letter L-2010-259 [Reference 1].

This submittal contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Christopher Wasik, St. Lucie Extended Power Uprate LAR Project Manager, at 772-467-7138.

St. Lucie Unit 1 L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 39 Attachment I Supplemental Information Regarding Extended Power Uprate License Amendment Request Accident Dose Analysis Calculation Results The following information is provided by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) in response to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Request for Additional Information (RAI).

This information was requested to support Extended Power Uprate (EPU) License Amendment Request (LAR) for St. Lucie Nuclear Plant Unit 1 that was submitted to the NRC by FPL via letter (L-2010-259) dated November 22, 2010, Accession Number ML103560419.

In an email dated June 21, 2011 from NRC (Tracy Orf) to FPL (Chris Wasik),

Subject:

St.

Lucie 1 EPU RAIs (Accident Dose), the NRC requested additional information regarding FPL's request to implement the EPU. The RAI consisted of sixteen (16) questions from the NRC's Accident Dose Branch (AADB). By letter dated August 12, 2011, Accession Number ML11234A283, FPL provided responses to the RAI. The transmittal included updated meteorological data and revised atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q's).

In addition to the supplemental information discussed below, Tables 2.9.2-21, MSLB Steam Release Rate, and 2.9.2-24 SGTR, Break Flow and Steam Releases, have been revised to correct typographical errors in the EPU LAR.

The following supplemental information is being provided based on the calculation results performed using the revised x/Q's.

LAR Attachment 5 Section 2.9.2 Radiological Consequences using Alternative Source Term (AST)

The control room unfiltered inleakage is changed from 500 cfm to 460 cfm for all events.

This change affects all references to control room unfiltered inleakage of 500 cfm in Section 2.9.2.

Section 2.9.2.2.4 Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Q's)

The revised meteorological data is based on data collected in years, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2003. This data was screened based on discussions with the NRC staff to be acceptable for use in determining X/Q's.

The references to ARCON96 and PAVAN are deleted.

Section 2.9.2.3.2 Analysis Parameters and Assumptions Release Inputs The engineered safeguards feature (ESF) assumption for leakage into the reactor auxiliary building (RAB) is changed to 4750 cc/hr, based on two times the current licensing basis value of 2375 cc/hr.

The time-dependent concentration to the total iodine in the refueling water tank (RWT) was determined from the tank liquid volume and leak rate. This iodine concentration ranged from a minimum value of 0 at the beginning of the event to a maximum value of 4.067E-05 gm-atom/liter at 30 days. Based on a backleakage of sump water, the RWT pH slowly increases from an initial value of 4.5 to a maximum pH of 4.968 at 30 days. The RWT elemental iodine fraction ranged from 0 at the beginning of the event to a maximum of 0.1245.

St. Lucie Unit 1 L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 39 Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) Removal Inputs Based on the elemental iodine removal rate of 20 hW1 , the DF of 200 is conservatively computed to occur at 2.331 hours0.00383 days <br />0.0919 hours <br />5.472884e-4 weeks <br />1.259455e-4 months <br />.

The particulate iodine removal rate is reduced by a factor of 10 when a DF of 50 is reached. Based on the calculated iodine aerosol removal rate of 6.07 hr-1, the DF of 50 is conservatively computed to occur at 2.334 hours0.00387 days <br />0.0928 hours <br />5.522487e-4 weeks <br />1.27087e-4 months <br />.

St. Lucie Unit 1 . L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 39 Table 2.9.2-7 Onsite Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Q) for Analysis Events This table summarizes the X/Q values (sec/M3) for the control room that apply to the'various accident scenarios. For the intakes, values are presented for the unfavorable intake prior to control room isolation, the midpoint between the intakes during isolation, as well as values for the favorable intake following manual restoration of filtered control room make-up flow. These values are not corrected for control room occupancy factors but do include credit for dilution where allowed. Based on the layout of the site, the only cases that credited dilution are the releases from the plant vent stack. However, dilution is not credited during the time period when the control room intakes are isolated for these cases.

A comparison of EPU X/Q values to the pre-EPU X/Q values from Reference 1 is presented in the shaded row below each release-receptor pair (positive values indicate that EPU X/Q values are higher).

  • Indicates credit for dilution taken for this case.
  1. The atmospheric dispersion factors corresponding to ADVs were determined to be more limiting than those from the MSSVs for all time periods. Therefore, the more limiting ADV values have been used throughout the analyses for all secondary releases. No distinction is made between automatic steam relief from the MSSVs and controlled releases from the ADVs for radiological purposes.

St. Lucie Unit 1 L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Attachment 2 Page 1 of 2 Attachment 2 Technical Specifications Section 3.11.2.6 Radiological Effluents - Gas Storage Tanks Revision To Proposed Change Submitted By FPL Letter L-2010-259 Regarding Extended Power Uprate License Amendment Request Description of the Change EPU LAR Attachment 1, Section 3.1, Renewed Facility Operating License and Technical Specification Changes, Item 28. TS 3/4.11.2.6, RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS - GAS STORAGE TANKS, proposed that LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) 3.11.2.6 be changed from "less than or equal to 285,000 curies noble gases (considered as Xe-1 33)." to "less than or equal to 202,500 curies noble gases (considered as Xe-1 33)."

By email from the NRC Project Manager dated June 21, 2011, additional information related to accident dose was requested by the NRC staff in the Accident Dose Branch (AADB) to support their review of the EPU LAR. The request for additional information (RAI) identified sixteen questions. The response to this RAI was submitted to the NRC by FPL letter L-2011-314, dated August 12, 2011 (Accession No. ML11234A283). The FPL letter contained revised atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q's) that were based on updated site meteorological data provided on a compact disc (CD) that was enclosed with the letter.

The revised X/Q's were inputs to a revision to dose analysis calculations. As a result of the revised calculations, the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank is being reduced to less than or equal to 165,000 curies of noble gas.

  • LCO 3.11.2.6 is changed from "... less than or equal to 285,000 curies noble gases..." to"...less than or equal to 165,000 curies noble gases..."

Note that the change described is from the current TS value for curies noble gases, not the EPU LAR proposed value of 202,500 curies noble gases. The marked up TS page in Attachment 3 contains this proposed change and the EPU LAR proposed change that is being revised.

" The remaining changes proposed for TS 3/4.11.2.6 remain valid.

Basis for the change:

The gas storage tank inventory source term required to generate an exclusion area boundary (EAB) dose of 0.1 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) is the basis for a proposed TS limit of 165,000 curies noble gas (considered as Dose Equivalent Xe-1 33).

The limit of 0.1 rem is consistent with Branch Technical Position 11-5, Postulated Radioactive Releases Due to a Waste Gas System Leak or Failure, of Standard Review Plan Chapter 11, Radioactive Waste Management, of NUREG-0800.

FPL letter (L-2011-314) submitted revised atmospheric dispersion factors (x/Q's) based on updated site meteorological data provided on a compact disc (CD) that was enclosed

St. Lucie Unit 1 L-2011-360 Docket No. 50-335 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 2 with the letter. The revised X/Q's were utilized in accident dose calculation to determine the dose at the EAB. To ensure that the dose at the EAB does not exceed 0.1 rem TEDE, the radioactivity in each of the gas storage tanks has been reduced from the current TS value of "285,000 curies noble gases (considered as Xe-1 33)" to a limit of "165,000 curies noble gases (considered as Xe-133)." The revised radioactivity limit being proposed in also reduced from the EPU LAR proposed limit of 202,500 curies noble gases (considered as Xe-1 33).

No Significant Hazards Consideration This change reduces the quantity of radioactivity in each gas storage tank to ensure that the EAB dose is less than or equal to 0.1 rem TEDE. The change was the result of revised accident dose analysis calculation results which used the x/Q values that were determined from updated meteorological data. The change is conservative as it is a reduction in the radioactivity in the tanks. As such, the conclusions of EPU LAR Section 5.2, No Significant Hazards Consideration, Item F. Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity remain valid. Accordingly, the proposed change

1) does not involve a significant increase in the propbability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, 2) does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated, and 3) does not result in a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Environmental Evaluation This change is a conservative change to reduce the radioactivity in the gas storage tanks. The change is a reduction in the proposed TS radioactivity limit change provided in the EPU LAR. The environmental considerations evaluation contained in the EPU LAR remain valid. Accordingly, the proposed license amendment is eligible for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment is needed in connection with the approval of the proposed license amendment.
