Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn : Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating License Nos . NPF-11 and NPF-18 NRC Docket Nos. 50-373 and 50-374 Subject : Request for a License Amendment to Technical Specification 3.7.3, "Ultimate Heat Sink" In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license or construction permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is requesting a change to the Technical Specifications (TS) of Facility Operating License Nos . NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2. Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.7 .3 .1 verifies the cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the Core Standby Cooling System (CSCS) pond (i .e., the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS)) is :5 100°F . Currently, if the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond is > 100°F, the UHS must be declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.7.3.

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change 1 .0 DESCRIPTION In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license or construction permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is requesting a change to the Technical Specifications (TS) of Facility Operating License Nos . NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2 . Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3 .7.3.1 verifies the cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the Core Standby Cooling System (CSCS) pond (i.e., the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS)) is s 100°F. Currently, if the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond is > 100°F, the UHS must be declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.7.3. TS 3.7.3 Required Action B .1 requires that both units be placed in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, and Required Action B.2 requires that both units be placed in Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Prolonged hot weather in the area over the past few summers has resulted in sustained elevated cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond. High temperatures and humidity during the daytime, in conjunction with minimal cooling at night and little precipitation, have resulted in elevated water temperatures in the LSCS UHS. Continued hot weather conditions in the future may result in the temperature of the CSCS cooling pond challenging the current TS limit of 100°F .

This license amendment is being sought to increase the TS temperature limit of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to <_ 101 .5°F, by reducing the temperature measurement uncertainty through the use of higher precision temperature measuring equipment. Should the UHS indicated temperature exceed 101 .5°F, Required Action B.1 would be entered and both units would be placed in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and Required Action 6.2 would be entered requiring both units to be in Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Since the proposed increase in the allowable indicated temperature is based solely on a reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value, there is no change in the containment pressure response, Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) and non-LOCA analyses, and there is no increase in risk associated with the post-accident heat removal . In addition, there are no identified adverse influences on risk associated with any other Design Basis Accident (DBA) and therefore a Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) assessment is not needed for this change.

This proposed change is supported by an engineering calculation of the instrument loop uncertainty values associated with the upgraded precision temperature measuring equipment.

With a higher precision method of temperature monitoring, there is an increased instrument loop accuracy and a corresponding reduction in the uncertainty value assumed in the heat removal calculations supporting the design basis events evaluated in the current analysis .

The upgraded precision temperature measuring instrumentation is installed and fully functional for both Units 1 and 2 . The temperature instrumentation indicating loops are of an equivalent design to the original thermocouples and the method and procedures used to determine the CSCS pond temperature (i.e., the UHS) are unchanged from the thermocouples previously installed.

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change 2 .0 PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed change to SR 3 .7 .3 .1 is identified as follows :

3.0 BACKGROUND

The UHS provides a heat sink for process and operating heat from safety related components during a transient or accident, as well as during normal operation . The Residual Heat Removal Service Water System (RHRSW) and Diesel Generator Cooling Water System (DGCW) are the principal systems that utilize the UHS to reject heat from safety related plant loads .

The UHS consists of an excavated CSCS pond integral with the cooling lake. The volume of the CSCS pond is sized to permit the safe shutdown and cooldown of both units for a 30-day period with no additional makeup water source available for normal and accident conditions.

The UHS is the heat sink for heat removed from both units' reactor cores following all postulated accidents and anticipated operational occurrences in which the units are cooled down and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) is placed in service . The function of the CSCS pond is to provide for cooling of the RHR heat exchangers, diesel generator coolers, CSCS cubicle area cooling coils, RHR pump seal coolers, and Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) pump motor cooling coils . The CSCS pond provides indirect heat rejection for the containment through the RHR heat exchangers . The CSCS pond also provides a backup source of emergency makeup water for spent fuel pool cooling and can provide water for fire protection equipment. Neither the ability to provide emergency makeup water for spent fuel pool cooling nor fire protection is limited by heat rejection considerations . The operating limits for heat rejection capability are based on conservative heat transfer analyses for the design basis LOCA .

A single UHS supports both Units 1 and 2. The Circulating Water (CW) suction is drawn from a single intake canal and piped underground to the respective units' main condensers . The intake canal is relatively narrow with a high flow rate ensuring that there is thorough mixing prior to being drawn into the suction of the six (i .e., three per unit) circulating water pumps. The difference in piping configurations between the two units' underground supplies is minor. There are four temperature measuring devices located in the CW inlet thermowells (i .e., two per unit),

that provide input to the Plant Process Computer (PPC) and are used to verify the UHS cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond, therefore meeting the requirements of SR 3.7.3.1 . A simple schematic of the CW system for LSCS is included in .

The reduction in the existing instrument loop uncertainty value does not affect the results of the heat removal calculations that ensure the post accident heat loads can be removed for 30 days without challenging the design bases of the mitigation systems.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

4.1 Safety Analysis and Design_Basis The UHS removes heat from both units' reactor cores following all postulated accidents and anticipated operational occurrences in which the units are cooled down and placed in Residual Heat Removal (RHR) operation . The function of the CSCS pond is to provide for cooling of the RHR heat exchangers, Diesel Generator (DG) coolers, CSCS cubicle area cooling coils, RHR pump seal coolers, and Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) pump motor cooling coils . The CSCS pond provides indirect heat rejection for the containment through the RHR heat exchangers .

The safety design basis for UHS are documented in the LSCS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). In the unlikely event that the cooling lake dike is breached, the submerged pond (i.e., the CSCS cooling pond) is designed to provide the UHS for LSCS. The UHS is designed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1 .27, "Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, dated March 1974, which requires a 30-day supply of cooling water in the UHS. The basis provided in Regulatory Guide 1 .27 was employed for the temperature analysis of the LSCS UHS to implement General Design Criteria 2, "Design bases for protection against natural phenomena," and Criteria 44, "Cooling water," of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants ."

Verification of the temperature of the water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond (i.e., the UHS) ensures that the heat removal capabilities of the RHRSW System and DGCW System are within the assumptions of the Design Basis Analysis . To ensure that the maximum post-accident temperature of water supplied to the plant is not exceeded (i .e ., 104°F), the temperature during normal plant operation must be maintained less than the TS limit. This TS limit accounts for the CSCS pond design requirement that it provide adequate cooling water supply to the plant (i .e., temperature 5 104°F) for 30 days without makeup, while taking into account solar heat loads and plant decay heat during the worst historical weather conditions . In addition, since the lake temperature follows a diurnal cycle (i.e., it heats up during the day and cools off at night), the allowable initial UHS temperature varies with the time of day. The allowable initial UHS temperatures, based on the actual sediment level and the time of day have been determined by analysis (i .e., Reference 9) . The limiting initial UHS temperature Page 4 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change determined in this analysis ensures the maximum post-accident temperature of 104°F is not exceeded . This calculated initial temperature is an analytical limit that does not include instrument uncertainty or additional margin . This limiting initial temperature remains bounded by the proposed TS SR 3.7.3.1 limit of s 101 .5°F .

4.2 Operating Limits and Design Analvses In 2005, LSCS performed an engineering evaluation (i .e., Reference 10) to assess the impact of higher inlet cooling water temperatures on plant components. This evaluation addressed the consequences of an increase in the temperature of cooling water supplied to the plant on both safety-related and non-safety related systems. For safety-related systems, the applicable components are part of the CSCS cooling system. These systems were evaluated at a conservatively higher inlet cooling water temperature of 106°F, versus the post accident peak inlet temperature of 104°F. The assessment was based on current plant equipment conditions (e .g ., current equipment inspections, monitoring, heat exchanger tube plugging, and performance testing information) .

The results of the evaluation demonstrated that the increased maximum inlet temperature of cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond will have no adverse affect on the safety-related plant heat exchangers or the heat loads they serve. The design requirements of these interfacing components (i .e., heat exchangers) have been reviewed and a determination made that thermal margin exists to allow for an increased cooling water inlet temperature, while maintaining an acceptable heat transfer capability .

Although margin exists to support increasing the actual inlet temperature, the proposed increase in the allowable indicated temperature is based solely on a reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value, there is no change in the actual inlet temperature, therefore there is no change in the containment pressure response, LOCA and non-LOCH analyses, and there is no increase in risk associated with the post-accident heat removal. In addition, there are no identified adverse influences on risk associated with any other DBA and therefore, a PRA assessment is not needed for this change .

4.3 Instrument Uncertaintv This license amendment is being sought to increase the TS temperature limit of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to << 101 .5°F by reducing the temperature measurement uncertainty through the use of higher precision temperature measuring equipment. The existing conservative instrument uncertainty margin of 2°F is based on the previously installed thermocouple instrument loop uncertainty value of approximately +/- 1 .8°F, with 0.2°F margin added. The analysis considering the newly installed measuring devices uses the same maximum post accident temperature value of 104°F; however, the new analysis calculated an instrument measurement uncertainty of 0.454°F and conservatively uses a bounding margin of 0.5°F. Therefore the indicated UHS temperature may increase from the existing TS limit of :_100°F to :_101 .5°F based on the improved instrument uncertainty. The current accident analyses results remain unchanged since the maximum UHS temperature realized using this new analysis assumption remains unchanged .

• 2.0 °F 2 .0 °F Instrument Uncertainty t 1 .8 °F t 0.454 °F Additional Margin +/- 0.2 °F t 0.046 °F UHS Maximum Post Accident Inlet Temperature 104°F 104°F Note that the actual calculated value for transient heat up is 1 .7°F; the value of 2 .0 °F is used for conservatism .

The existing instrument uncertainty value of +/-1 .8 °F was developed consistent with the lowest level of the EGC graded approach methodology, only considering uncertainties for major loop components and adding an appropriate level of conservatism . It was not based on a rigorous evaluation of all potential uncertainty inputs . The uncertainty value of +/- 0.454 °F was determined by a rigorous evaluation of the same error terms that would be evaluated for an ESF/RPS setpoint, but using a one-sigma (1(y) confidence level .

Calculation L-003230 (i .e., Attachment 2) was prepared in accordance with the EGC Setpoint Methodology contained in Nuclear Engineering Standard NES-EIC-20 .04, Revision 4, "Analysis of Instrument Channel Setpoint Error and Instrument Loop Accuracy," (i .e., Reference 11) . This calculation determined the uncertainty value of t 0 .454 °F used in the analysis .

The EGC methodology utilizes a graded approach similar to that of ISA TR67 .04 .09, "Graded Approaches to Setpoint Determination," (i.e., Reference 12). The EGC graded setpoint methodology has not been specifically approved by the NRC, but similar approaches are widely used in the industry .

The general breakdown of the Levels in the EGC graded approach methodology is as follows:

Level 1 - Applies to Limiting Safety System Setting (LSSS) values and uses the greatest rigor in determining the setpoint value to a 95/95 state (i .e., a 95 percent probability that limits will not be exceeded in 95 percent of the cases in which they are challenged) . All uncertainties that could affect the setpoint are evaluated and included in the setpoint determination .

Level 2 - Applies to setpoints or limits considered important . All uncertainties that normally could affect the trip are included in the calculations . However, because there is expected conservative design margin in the station design, only one standard deviation is used for setpoint determination .

Level 3 - Applies to setpoints or limits useful for plant operation but not safety significant.

Normal uncertainties are used for the setpoint calculation, but estimates and general knowledge can be used as the source of information for a given uncertainty. One standard deviation is used for setpoint determination .

Level 4 - Applies to non-safety related setpoints . The methodology requires documentation of the engineering justification for the uncertainty used .

Page 6 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change Regulatory Guide 1 .105, "Setpoints for Safety-Related Instrumentation," Revision 3, provides guidance on instrument setpoint methodology. It also establishes that instrument settings for safety-related instrumentation should provide a 95 percent probability that limits will not be exceeded in 95 percent of the cases in which they are challenged . This has been interpreted to imply that measurement uncertainties should be established as t 1 .96 standard deviations for a normal probability distribution with two-sided uncertainty, or 1 .645 standard deviations for one-sided uncertainty. General practice establishes uncertainty rounded to two standard deviations (i.e., 2-sigma (2(3)) . The EGC Level 1 graded instrument uncertainty methodology is consistent with this guidance (i .e., evaluating random uncertainties at a 2(y level .)

Calculation L-003230 was prepared using the EGC Level 2 graded instrument uncertainty methodology. This level methodology is applied to instrument loops typically associated with setpoints that provide the LSCS operator with specific action values or limits used to verify plant status . This includes instrument loops that provide an indication of acceptable performance for structures, systems, and components in the TS.

The Level 2 graded methodology calculates loop uncertainty utilizing the same error terms and rigor that would be evaluated for an ESF/RPS setpoint (i.e., EGC Level 1 methodology), but combines random errors using a 1 a confidence level . Level 2 also allows combining non-random errors by Square-Root-of-the-Sum-of-the-Squares (SRSS) and allows the utilization of single-sided confidence levels where function is only evaluated in a single direction (i.e.,

increasing or decreasing) .

The use of the EGC Level 2 graded methodology is considered acceptable for this application because of conservatism in the evaluations supporting the UHS temperature limit; application of a conservative confidence level ; relatively slow changing UHS temperatures ; the limited seasonal duration of concern; and the 0.5°F allowance for conservatism bounding the instrument uncertainty associated with any combination of operable temperature measurement devices.

The acceptability of the EGC Level 2 graded methodology is detailed below:

1. There is sufficient conservatism included in the evaluation that established the limit for UHS temperature. This conservatism includes the following:

" The UHS follows a diurnal cycle, (i .e ., warms up during the day and cools off at night), so its thermal response following an accident is dependent upon the temperature of the lake and the time of day when the postulated failure of the dike occurs . The evaluation analyzed for the worst-case time of day for dike failure.

There are multiple parameter limits used in the cooling calculations, all of which would have to be in extreme conditions to adversely affect the use of a graded approach in the calculation for UHS Temperature. These limits include:

- UHS dredged level - the UHS analysis evaluated an average silt deposition of the TS maximum of 1 .5 ft. LSCS has seen minimal silt deposition since the plant began operations .

Page 7 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change Tube fouling in heat exchangers - the UHS analysis evaluated for the design fouling in all associated heat exchangers . These heat exchangers are routinely monitored in a CSCS monitoring program and excessive fouling has not been a significant problem identified during testing .

Tube plugging in heat exchangers - the UHS analysis evaluated for the design number of tubes be plugged in each heat exchanger. No heat exchangers at LSCS are plugged to the design limit and most are well below.

Post accident weather - the UHS analysis evaluated worst-case weather conditions (i.e., for temperature and evaporative losses) for thirty days post-LOCA .

Lake dike breached - the UHS analysis evaluated the LSCS lake drained through a breach in the dike so that only the UHS remains.

Transient heat up analysis shows 1 .7°F with margin added to a total transient heat up of 2.0°F .

The expectation that all of the above would be in extremity is very low. Therefore conservative design margin supports the use of the EGC Level 2 graded approach using 1 o for the instrument uncertainty calculation .

2. The EGC calculation evaluated random errors at the two-sided 1 a confidence level for conservatism . Application of single-sided confidence level would be appropriate for this analysis because the setpoint of concern is only for increasing temperature. Therefore, use of the two-sided confidence level provides additional conservatism .

3. The UHS temperature changes are relatively slow and the UHS temperature is always available for viewing and trending in the Main Control Room using the PPC . This allows increased attention/monitoring of the parameter as it approaches the TS limit. The PPC can display each of the four temperatures as a single point and the average for each unit. In addition, each of the CW inlet temperature data points are set to alarm at the TS limit (note that this is not a Main Control Room board annunciator) . The alarm/alert consists of an audible alarm and an alarm message on the PPC .

4. The UHS TS temperature limit is typically a concern only during a period of three months during the summer. During this period, the temperature only challenges the limit for an average of four to five days . Therefore, the probability of reaching the UHS temperature limit is extremely small and supports the use of Level 2 (1 a) methodology.

5. The total instrument measurement uncertainty calculated an instrument measurement uncertainty of 0.454°F . The uncertainty for one available loop is +/- 0 .454°F, for two available instrument loops is t 0 .326°F, for three available loops is +/- 0.270°F, and for four available loops is +/- 0.236°F . It is considered extremely unlikely that three of the four RTDs or associated circuitry would be out of service simultaneously . In the unlikely event this condition was to occur, the 0.5°F allowance for conservatism bounds the Page 8 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change instrument uncertainty associated with any combination of operable temperature measurement devices to meet the requirements of SR 3.7.3.1 .

LSCS engineering calculation L-003230 which determined the uncertainty for the upgraded instrumentation and the supporting vendor data sheets are presented in Attachment 2 .

4.4 Diurnal Cvcle Because the UHS follows a diurnal cycle (i .e., heats up during the day and cools down at night),

the thermal response of the UHS following an accident is dependent upon the temperature of the lake and the time of day when the postulated design basis accident and failure of the dike occur. A parametric study of UHS performance was conducted using sediment level, time of day when the postulated failure of the dike occurs, and initial UHS temperature . Historically, the UHS temperature peaks in the late afternoon . Due to diurnal cooling, the UHS temperature slowly drops over the next several hours.

If the UHS temperature were to exceed the TS limit, diurnal cooling alone would be expected to return the temperature to less than the TS limit within a few hours . Given the time required to perform a concurrent orderly shutdown of two reactors, the UHS temperature would be returned to within the TS limit before the shutdown of either unit could be accomplished, thus restoring compliance with the Limited Condition for Operation (LCO) . Increasing the allowable indicated UHS temperature to 101 .5°F will reduce the likelihood of simultaneous and unnecessary transients on two large reactors .

4.5 Operational Considerations There are four temperature measuring devices located in individual CW inlet thermowells (i.e., two per unit), that provide input to the PPC which are used to verify the UHS cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond and therefore meet the requirements of SR 3 .7.3.1 . The new high precision resistance temperature detector (RTD) temperature measuring devices use the same CW inlet thermowells that were utilized by the thermocouples.

The temperature measurements recorded from the newly installed RTDs show extremely close correlation between units and between individual RTDs that is well within the instrument performance predicted by the uncertainty analysis . Thus, it is considered that the CW temperature for any of the installed RTDs on either unit is representative of the UHS temperature .

The method for determining UHS temperature did not change with the installation of the upgraded measuring devices (i .e., RTDs) . Operators perform a shiftly surveillance procedure, LOS-AA-S101(201), "Unit 1(2) Shiftly Surveillance," which includes recording the daily CW inlet temperature computer point average value for both units. As stated above, the CW temperatures for any of the installed RTDs on either unit is representative of the UHS temperature required to satisfy the 24-hour SR 3.7.3.1 . There is no difference in determining the UHS temperature reading to satisfy TS requirements between the old configuration (i .e., thermocouples) and the new configuration (i .e ., RTDs) .

There are two computer points per unit for the actual RTD loop readings (i .e ., F285 = LINE A COND INLET and F286 = LINE B COND INLET). There is also one calculated computer point per unit that provides the average inlet temperature (i .e ., C361 = [F285 + F286]/2) . The Page 9 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change operators obtain the UHS temperature by averaging the Unit 1 and Unit 2 temperature readings (i .e ., computer points U1C361 for Unit 1 and U2C361 for Unit 2) and perform a simple average by calculating (U1 C361+U2C361)/2 . If a unit does not have a CW pump in operation (i .e., the unit is shutdown), the operating department surveillance procedure directs the CW temperature to be recorded from the unit that does have a CW pump in operation .

There were no changes to any PPC, I/O, or workstation configuration as a result of installing upgraded measuring devices; however, the PPC database has been updated to reflect the relocation of the CW inlet temperature loop inputs from the thermocouple cards to the analog input cards . The current alarm setpoint on individual computer points are set at 100°F. Upon approval of the proposed change to increase the temperature limit of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to :5 101 .5°F, the individual computer alarm points will be set to the new limit of 101 .5°F.

The analysis considering the newly installed measuring devices uses the same peak temperature value of 104°F; however, the new analysis calculated an instrument measurement uncertainty of 0.454°F and conservatively uses a bounding margin of 0.5°F; therefore the indicated UHS temperature may increase from the existing TS limit of x100°F to :_101 .5°F. The current accident analyses results remain unchanged since the maximum UHS temperature realized using this new analysis assumption remains unchanged.

5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with 10 CFR 50 .90, "Application for amendment of license or construction permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is requesting a change to the Technical Specifications (TS) of Facility Operating License Nos . NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2. Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.7.3.1 verifies the cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the Core Standby Cooling System (CSCS) pond (i.e ., the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS)) is s 100°F. Currently, if the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond is > 100°F, the UHS must be declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.7.3. TS 3.7.3 Required Action B.1, requires that both units be placed in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, and Required Action B.2 requires that both units be placed in Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Prolonged hot weather in the area over the past few summers has resulted in sustained elevated cooling water temperature supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond. High temperatures and humidity during the daytime, in conjunction with minimal cooling at night and little precipitation, have resulted in elevated water temperatures in the LSCS UHS . Continued hot weather conditions in the future may result in the temperature of the CSCS cooling pond challenging the current TS limit of 100°F .

This license amendment is being sought to increase the TS temperature limit of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to :5 101 .5°F, by reducing the temperature measurement uncertainty through the use of higher precision temperature measuring equipment. Should the indicated UHS temperature exceed 101 .5°F, Required Action B.1 would Page 1 0 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change be entered and both units would be placed in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and Required Action B .2 would be entered requiring both units to be in Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Since the proposed increase in the allowable indicated temperature is based solely on a reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value, there is no change in the containment pressure response, Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCH) and non-LOCA analyses, and there is no increase in risk associated with the post-accident heat removal . In addition, there are no identified adverse influences on risk associated with any other Design Basis Accident (DBA) and therefore a Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) assessment is not needed for this change.

This proposed change is supported by an engineering calculation of the instrument loop uncertainty values associated with the upgraded precision temperature measuring equipment.

With a higher precision method of temperature monitoring, there is an increased instrument loop accuracy and a corresponding reduction in the uncertainty value assumed in the current heat removal calculations supporting the design basis events evaluated in the current analysis .

The upgraded precision temperature measuring instrumentation is installed and fully functional for both Units 1 and 2. The temperature instrumentation indicating loops are of an equivalent design to the original thermocouples and the method and procedures used to determine the CSCS pond temperature (i.e., the UHS) are unchanged from the thermocouples previously installed .

According to 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," paragraph (c), a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not:

Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety .

In support of this determination, an evaluation of each of the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92 is provided below regarding the proposed license amendment.

1. The proposed TS change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed change will allow the indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to be increased to <_ 101 .5°F based on reducing the temperature measurement uncertainty by use of higher precision temperature measuring equipment.

Analyzed accidents are assumed to be initiated by the failure of plant structures, systems, or components. An inoperable UHS is not considered as an initiator of any analyzed events . As such, there is not a significant increase in the probability of a Page 1 1 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change previously evaluated accident. Allowing the UHS to operate at a higher allowable indicated temperature, but still within the design limits of the equipment it supplies, will not affect the failure probability of that equipment. The current heat analysis calculations of record for LSCS, Units 1 and 2, assume a UHS post-accident peak inlet temperature of 104°F. The proposed temperature increase is based solely on a reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value. The current analysis bounds the proposed change . This higher allowable indicated temperature does not impact the LOCA Peak Clad Temperature Analysis, LOCA Containment Analysis or the non-LOCA analyses ;

therefore, continued operation with a UHS temperature > 100°F but s 101 .5°F will not increase the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR.

Based on the above information, the increase in the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the UHS to <_ 101 .5°F by reducing the existing instrument loop uncertainty value has no effect on the result of the design basis event and will continue to allow each required heat exchanger to perform its safety function . The heat exchangers will continue to provide sufficient cooling for the heat loads during the most severe 30-day period .

Based on the above information, increasing the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond from <_ 100°F to <_ 101 .5°F by reducing the instrument uncertainty value has no impact on any analyzed accident; therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated .

2. The proposed TS change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated .

The proposed change involves newly installed upgraded precision temperature measuring equipment. This proposed action will not alter the manner in which equipment is operated, nor will the functional demands on credited equipment be changed. Raising the indicated UHS temperature limit does not introduce any new or different modes of plant operation, nor does it affect the operational characteristics of any safety-related equipment or systems; as such, no new failure modes are being introduced . The proposed action reduces the instrument uncertainty value but does not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis .

Increasing the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond from <_ 100°F to <_ 101 .5°F has no impact on safety related systems. The plant is designed such that the RHR pumps on the unit undergoing the LOCA/LOOP conditions would start upon the receipt of a signal, and would load onto their respective Emergency Diesel Generators' emergency bus during the LOOP event.

The increase in the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond will not require operation of additional RHR pumps; therefore, system operation is unaffected by the proposed change in the indicated UHS temperature limit.

Based on the above information, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated .

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change

3. The proposed TS change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety .

The proposed change allows an increase in the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond to <_ 101 .5°F. The margin of safety is determined by the design and qualification of the plant equipment, the operation of the plant within analyzed limits, and the point at which protective or mitigative actions are initiated. The proposed action does not impact these factors as the analyzed peak inlet temperature of the UHS is unaffected based on the improved instrument uncertainty of the upgraded high precision temperature measurement instrumentation . This change is supported by an engineering calculation of the instrument loop uncertainty values associated with upgraded precision temperature measuring equipment. The reduction in the uncertainty value associated with the temperature measuring equipment from t 1 .8°F to t 0 .454°F is based solely on the use of more precise equipment . No setpoints are affected, and no other change is being proposed in the plant operational limits as a result of this change. All accident analysis assumptions and conditions will continue to be met. Adequate design margin is available to ensure that the required margin of safety is not significantly reduced.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety .

Based on the above evaluation, EGC concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) .

5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The design of the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) must satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50 .36, "Technical Specifications," paragraph (c)(2)(ii), Criterion 3 . These requirements state the following:

(ii) A Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (TS LCO) of a nuclear reactor must be established for each item meeting one or more of the following criteria:

Criterion 3 . A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

The proposed change does not relocate the UHS temperature limit from TS 3.7.3, "Ultimate Heat Sink," and therefore the Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50 .36(c)(2)(ii) continues to be met.

General Design Criteria 2, "Design bases for protection against natural phenomena," and General Design Criteria 44, "Cooling water," of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," provides design considerations for the UHS. Regulatory Guide 1 .27, "Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, dated March 1974, provides an acceptable approach for satisfying this criterion. The basis provided in Regulatory Guide 1 .27, Revision 1, was employed for the temperature analysis of the LSCS UHS.

Page 13 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change The reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value does not affect the results of the heat removal calculations that ensure the post accident heat loads can be removed for 30 days without challenging the design bases of the mitigation systems .

Regulatory Guide 1 .105, "Setpoints for Safety-Related Instrumentation," Revision 3, provides guidance on instrument setpoint methodology . It also establishes that instrument settings for safety-related instrumentation should provide a 95 percent probability that limits will not be exceeded in 95 percent of the cases in which they are challenged . This has been interpreted to imply that measurement uncertainties should be established as +/- 1 .96 standard deviations for a normal probability distribution with two-sided uncertainty, or 1 .645 standard deviations for one-sided uncertainty. General practice establishes uncertainty rounded to two standard deviations (i .e., 2(;).

The EGC Level 2 graded methodology calculates loop uncertainty utilizing the same error terms and rigor that would be evaluated for an ESF/RPS setpoint (i.e., EGC Level 1 methodology), but combines random errors using a 1 a confidence level . Level 2 also allows combining non-random errors by Square-Root-of-the-Sum-of-the-Squares (SRSS) and allows the utilization of single-sided confidence levels where function is only evaluated in a single direction (i .e.,

increasing or decreasing) .

The use of the EGC Level 2 graded methodology is considered acceptable for this application because of conservatism in the evaluations supporting the UHS temperature limit; application of a conservative confidence level; relatively slow changing UHS temperatures ; the limited seasonal duration of concern ; and the 0.5°F allowance for conservatism bounding the instrument uncertainty associated with any combination of operable temperature measurement devices .

This change is supported by an engineering calculation for the instrument loop uncertainty values for the upgraded precision temperature measuring equipment. With a higher precision method of temperature monitoring, there is an increased instrument loop accuracy and a corresponding reduction in the uncertainty value utilized in the current analyzed heat removal calculations for mitigation of the design basis events .

Since the proposed temperature increase is based solely on a reduction of the existing instrument loop uncertainty value, there is no change in the containment pressure response, LOCA and non-LOCA analyses, and there is no increase in risk associated with the post-accident heat removal . In addition, there are no identified adverse influences on risk associated with any other Design Basis Accident (DBA) and therefore, a Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) assessment is not needed for this change.

Impact on Previous Submittals/Precedent EGC has previously submitted and subsequently withdrawn a temporary amendment to increase the UHS temperature limit for LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, dated August 2, 2001 as documented in References 1, 2 and 3. This request was withdrawn based on the temporary nature of the amendment and the moderation of local area temperature conditions.

EGC previously submitted a license amendment request to increase the LSCS, Units 1 and 2 UHS temperature on March 13, 2006, (i .e ., Reference 5) that was subsequently denied by the Page 14 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change NRC on November 3, 2006 (i.e., Reference 6) . Following public meetings on January 26, 2007 and April 5, 2007 with the NRC, this amendment request is a re-submittal of Reference 5 with the additional information and detail based on insights from these meetings.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION EGC has evaluated this proposed operating license amendment consistent with the criteria for identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51 .21, "Criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments ." EGC has determined that this proposed change meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion set forth in paragraph (c)(9) of 10 CFR 51 .22, "Criterion for categorical exclusion ; identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion or otherwise not requiring environmental review," and as such, has determined that no irreversible consequences exist in accordance with paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 50 .92, "Issuance of amendment." This determination is based on the fact that this change is being proposed as an amendment to the license issued pursuant to 10 CFR 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," which changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation," or which changes an inspection or a surveillance requirement, and the amendment meets the following specific criteria :

The amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

As demonstrated in Section 5.1, "No Significant Hazards Consideration," the proposed change does not involve any significant hazards consideration.

(ii) There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite.

The proposed change does not result in an increase in power level, does not increase the production nor alter the flow path or method of disposal of radioactive waste or byproducts . The proposed action would allow the operation of LSCS Units 1 and 2 with an increase in the allowable indicated temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond up to :5 101 .5°F; however, all accident analyses limits are met. It is expected that all plant equipment would operate as designed in the event of an accident to minimize the potential for any leakage of radioactive effluents; thus, there will be no change in the amounts of radiological effluents released offsite.

Based on the above evaluation, the proposed change will not result in a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent released offsite .

(iii) There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

There is no net increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure due to the proposed change. The proposed action will not change the level of controls or methodology used for processing of radioactive effluents or handling of solid radioactive Page 1 5 of 16

ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Change waste, nor will the proposed action result in any change in the normal radiation levels within the plant.

Based on the above information, there will be no increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure resulting from this change .

CALCULATION PAGE CALCULATION NO . L-003230 Revision 000 PAGE NO. 3 of 14 1 PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE 1 .1 The purpose of this calculation is to evaluate the loop uncertainty for the CW Inlet Temperature Indication Loops. These are revised instrument loops that were implemented by EC359060 for Unit 1 and EC359114 for Unit 2.

1 .2 These instrument loops provide Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) temperature indication via the Plant Process Computer (PPC). These new loop configurations replaced the existing thermocouples 1(2)CW010/011 (the sensing elements for computer points F2851F286) with new RTD temperature sensing elements and new temperature compensators (transmitters), and relocated the computer inputs to the appropriate Input/Output (VO) analog input cards.

2 METHODOLOGY AND ACCEPTANCE0RITERIA 2.1 The methodology used for this calculation is based on NES-EIC-20 .04 'Analysis of Instrument Channel Setpoint Error and Instrument Loop Accuracy", Rev. 4 (Reference 5.1 .2). Additionally, for calculating the average uncertainty using up to four indicating loops, the multiple test criterion of ASME PTC 19 .1 (Ref . 5.1 .4), Section 3.2 was used .

2.2 The instrumentation evaluated in this calculation provides indication (via the Plant Process Computer) for Ultimate Heat Sink Temperature. This is a non-safety indication loop, but the indication is used to verify the Technical Specification SR 3.7 .3.1 is met. In accordance with Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix D, a Level 3 evaluation is appropriate for this analysis . However, in response to questions during the NRC review of the License Amendment Request to increase the UHS temperature surveillance requirement value, this analysis will evaluate all uncertainty terms and determine the total uncertainty value using methodology consistent with safety-related indicating loops (Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix D, Level 2) .

2.3 Temperature, humidity and pressure errors, when available from the manufacturer, are to be evaluated with respect to the conditions specified in the station EQ Zones. If not provided, an evaluation must be made to ensure that the environmental conditions are bounded by the manufacturer's specified operational limits . If the environmental conditions are bounded, these error effects are considered to be included in the manufacturer's reference accuracy.

2.4 Published instrument vendor specifications are considered to be based on sufficiently large samples so that the probability and confidence level meets the 2a criteria, unless stated otherwise by the vendor (Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix A, Section 8 .0).

2.5 For normal error analysis, normal vibrations and seismic effects are considered negligible or capable of being calibrated out in accordance with Appendix I of Reference 5.1 .2 .

2.6 The calibration standard error is considered negligible; the calibration standard error (STD) is more accurate than the M&TE by a ratio of at least 4:1 (Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix A, Section 5.1 .4).

2.7 The insulation resistance error is considered negligible unless the instrumentation is expected to operate in an abnormal or harsh environment (Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix A, Section 7.0).

2.8 Reference 5.1 .2, Appendix I states that the effects of normal radiation are small and accounted for in the periodic calibration process . Outside of containment during normal operation, the uncertainty introduced by radiation effects on components is considered to be negligible .

3 ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 3.1 Evaluation of M&TE errors for the digital multimeter is based on the assumption that the test equipment listed in Section 4.5 is used .

3 .2 It is assumed that the calibration standard of the equipment utilized is more accurate than the M&TE equipment by a ratio of at least 4:1 such that the calibration standard errors can be considered

CALCULATION PAGE CALCULATION NO. L-003230 Revision 000 PAGE NO. 4 of 14 negligible with respect to the M&TE specification per Section2 .6 . This is considered a reasonable assumption since M&TE equipment is certified to its required accuracy under laboratory conditions .

4 DESIGN INPUTS 4.1 The new instrument loops will consist of the following components : high accuracy RTD temperature elements, temperature transmitters, precision input resistors at the field input to the I/O card, and the D/A conversion in the PPC VO equipment. The loop components evaluated in this document have the following specifications :

4.1 .1 New Minco RTDs in the existing thermowells (replacing the existing thermocouples) . The new RTDs have the following performance specifications (Ref . 5.4.1):

Repeatability: t0.2°F

[The RTDs are designed to EN60751 Class A specifications with high precision and repeatability requirements . Thus, this specification could be considered to be at a 3a confidence level. However, for conservatism, this specification will be used as a 2a value.]

Drift: *0 .1 °F/year (Ref . 5.4 .3)

[The study in Reference 5.5 .3 shows that RTDs are inherently stable, and after the first few months following installation RTD : attain a stable condition from which it may not drift sufficiently to exceed accuracy limits . RTD cross-calibration is performed to Identify if an element has experienced significant drift. Although the RTDs are not separately calibrated, for conservatism the vendor's drift value will be expanded using the loop calibration interval of 4 years (+ 1 year late factor).]

4.1 .2 The resistance value equivalent to the temperature value of interest (101 .5°F) for the RTDs was obtained from the Minco calibration reports for the RTDs installed at LaSalle (Ref . 5.4 .10) . The highest of the four resistance values was 115 .013:2 . This value will be used to determine the M&TE error for the indicating loop (applied to Module 2) . The change in resistance per 1°F change in temperature (0 .214WF) was also obtained using the actual resistance values in the calibration reports for 101 .5°F and 102.5°F .

4.1 .3 New ifm efector600 TR2432 temperature transmitter modules. These new modules have the following performance specification (Ref .5.4.4, 5.4.5):

Accuracy (includes drift) : *0.54°F / 2 years

`Temperature Drift" : *0 .1 % of measured range/ 10°C

[Note: Ref. 5.4 .5 indicates that the accuracy specification includes drift error and is warranted to hold the accuracy and drift within the specified value for 2 years. It further states that testing is performed on 100% of the devices after production to verify conformance with these specifications . Therefore, these values are 3a confidence level. It also states that the accuracy specification includes the resolution error and electronic component drift, and that there are no other environmental influences that will affect the accuracy specification .]

4.1 .4 PPC I/O input card . The I/0 input cards have the following performance specification (Ref .5 .4 .9): [2a]

Accuracy: *0 .025% of full scale (30°F to 120°F) 4 .2 RTD extension wire has the identical conductor types as the RTD, and therefore there is no emf drop or change in conductor size at the point of connection on the RTD (Ref. 5.4.2).

CALCULATION PAGE CALCULATION NO. L-003230 Revision 000 PAGE NO. 5 of 14 4.3 The Instrument Loop power supply is a SOLAO SDN 2 .5-24-100P (Ref . 5.4 .8), which has the following performance specifications : [2a]

Output tolerance: t 2% overall (combined Line, load, time, and temperature related changes)

Temperature range: -10°C to 60*C Humidity : < 90% RH, non-condensing 4.4 The precision signal resistor at the input terminals of the I/O card (Module 3) is a high-precision resistor with a tolerance of t 0.02% (Reference 5.3 .2) [2a]

4.5 The loop is calibrated using a variable resistance input (to simulate the RTD input), measured with either a Fluke 45 DMM or an HP 34401 A, and reading the indicated temperature at the PPC . The calibration procedures (Ref . 5.2 .1 and 5.2 .2) each specify that one loop will be calibrated using either the Fluke 45 OR the HP 34401A. The other loop must be calibrated using the other DMM.

4.5 .1 Reference Accuracy for the Fluke 45 (medium speed) on the 300f2 range is :

(t 0 .05% reading + 2 LSD + 0 .0252) (Ref . 5.4 .6) [2(y]

4 .5 .2 Reference Accuracy for the HP 34401A on the 1 kf2 range is :

t (0 .01 % reading + 0.001 % range) (Ref. 5.4 .7) [2a]

Temperature coefficient for the HP 34401 A on the 1 k12 range Is (for 0*C to 18*C and 28 6C to 55'C):

t (0 .0006% of reading + 0.0001 % of range /'C) (Ref . 5.4 .7) [2a]

The normal turbine building ambient temperature in the zone where the transmitter is installed varies from 83°F to 1020F(Ref, 5.5 .2).

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSION (TOTAL ERROR) 6.4 .1 As discussed in Methodology Section 2.2, Level 2 methodology is applied for determining Total Error for this indication loop :

TE = a3 + Ee3

= t (0 .436°F)+ 0 .018°F

= t 0.454°F TE t 0.454°F In conclusion, the total uncertainty for the CW Inlet Temperature Indication loop is t 0.454°F 6.4 .2 To obtain a more accurate value of the UHS temperature using these instruments, the average of the available values can be taken. This assumes that the four readings are sensing the same input temperature and that there is little effect between the input and the measurement point.

In all of these cases the final random uncertainty (a) is the square root sum of the squares of the individual channel random uncertainties considering the multiplier for each of the uncertainties is one divided by the number of channels that are being averaged . The non-random uncertainty (e) will remain the same as for a single loop (Ref . 5.1 .4, Section 3 .2).

_Notes :

1 . These assemblies will replace the existing head that is on the thermowell . This is due to not knowing how long the replacement probe would need to be . The drawing does not provide all of this information to determine the proper length. Lead time for these parts is also relatively short as compared to a special probe.

2. 1 . Probe length is 15.6". This is the necessary length of the probe to fit in the thermowell and fit into the connection head .

2. The probe diameter is .25", but will fit in the thermowell without any reduction in performance.

3 . Drift specifications on the S852 sensor is listed as +/- .2 F per year, repeatability is also +/- .2 F. This specification assumes cycling throughout the full temperature range of the sensor, from -

50C to 260C . A smaller temperuture cycle will change the amount of drift.

L-003230 Rev. 0 a436/32 8-Channel Isolated Low-Level Analog Input Card Attachment H Page Hl (final) 8436132 8-Channel Isolated Low-Level Analog Input Card The RTP8436/32 8-Channel Isolated Analog Input Card provides high accuracy low-level

(+/-160 mV) analog measurements . Sampling transformers provide channel-to-channel isolation. Very high noise immunity is characteristic of the transformer multiplexer, achieving 160 dB of common mode rejection. Immunity to noise is further enhanced with a two-pole low pass filter, set to provide 70 dB of normal mode rejection at 60 Hz .

Analog to digital conversion is performed by a 16-bit switched capacitor successive approximation A/D converter. A precision voltage source provides a self-test function for the card's amplifiers and A/D converter. No field adjustments are necessary after the initial factory setup.

UHS B 3 .7 .3 BASES APPLICABLE The UHS post-accident temperature is based on heat removal SAFETY ANALYSES calculations (Ref . 5) that analyze for a maximum allowable (continued) post accident inlet cooling water temperature of 104°F . To account for the worst-case scenario and to apply conservatism, the post accident CSCS pond cooling water inlet temperature of 104°F consists of the CSCS pond TS temperature maximum of 101 .5°F plus 2°F for transient heat up plus 0 .5°F to account for instrument uncertainty (Ref . 6) .

There are four temperature measuring devices located in the Circulating Water inlet thermowells (i .e ., two per unit) .

The 0 .5°F allowance bounds the instrument uncertainty associated with any combination of operable temperature measurement devices .

The UHS satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50 .36(c)(2)(ii) .

LCO OPERABILITY of the UHS is based on a maximum water temperature being supplied to the plant of 101 .5°F and a minimum pond water level at or above elevation 690 ft mean sea level . In addition, to ensure the volume of water available in the CSCS pond is sufficient to maintain adequate long term cooling, sediment deposition (in the intake flume and in the pond) must be <_ 1 .5 ft and CSCS pond bottom elevation must be < 686 .5 ft .

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the UHS is required to be OPERABLE to support OPERABILITY of the equipment serviced by the UHS, and is required to be OPERABLE in these MODES .

In MODES 4 and 5, the OPERABILITY requirements of the UHS are determined by the systems it supports . Therefore, the requirements are not the same for all facets of operation in MODES 4 and 5 . The LCOs of the systems supported by the UHS will govern UHS OPERABILITY requirements in MODES 4 and 5 .

ACTIONS A1 If the CSCS pond is inoperable, due to sediment deposition

> 1 .5 ft (in the intake flume, CSCS pond, or both) or the pond bottom elevation > 686 .5 ft, action must be taken to restore the inoperable UHS to an OPERABLE status within 90 days . The 90 day Completion Time is reasonable based on the low probability of an accident occurring during that time, historical data corroborating the low probability of continued degradation (i .e ., further excessive sediment deposition or pond bottom elevation changes) of the CSCS pond during that time, and the time required to complete the Required Action .

B-1 and B,2 If the CSCS pond cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, or the CSCS pond is determined inoperable for reasons other than Condition A (e .g ., inoperable due to the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the plant from the CSCS, pond > 101 .5°F, corrected for sediment level and time of day), the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply . To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> . The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems .

SURVEILLANCE SR 3 .7 .3 .1 REQUIREMENTS Verification of the temperature of the water supplied to the plant from the CSCS pond ensures that the heat removal capabilities of the RHRSW System and DGCW System are within the assumptions of the DBA analysis . To ensure that the maximum post-accident temperature of water supplied to the plant is not exceeded (i .e ., 104°F determined in Ref . 4),

the temperature during normal plant operation must be

_< 101 .5°F (Ref . 3) . This is to account for the CSCS pond design requirement that it provide adequate cooling water supply to the plant (i .e ., temperature <_ 104°F) for 30 days (continued)

UHS B 3 .7 .3 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3 .7 .3 .1 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS without makeup, while taking into account solar heat loads and plant decay heat during the worst historical weather conditions . In addition, since the lake temperature follows a diurnal cycle (it heats up during the day and cools off at night), the allowable initial UHS temperature varies with the time of day . The allowable initial UHS temperatures, based on the actual sediment level and the time of day have been determined by analysis (Ref . 5) . The limiting initial UHS temperature of 102 .3°F determined in this analysis ensures the maximum post-accident temperature of 104°F is not exceeded . These temperatures are analytical limits that do not include instrument uncertainty or additional margin .

For example, if the lake temperature uncertainty and additional margin are determined to be 0 .5°F, the limiting initial UHS temperature becomes 101 .8°F . This limiting initial temperature remains bounded by the SR 3 .7 .3 .1 limit of <_ 101 .5°F . The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency is based on operating experience related to trending of the parameter variations during the applicable MODES .

SR 3 .7 .3 .2 This SR ensures adequate long term (30 days) cooling can be maintained, by verifying the sediment level in the intake flume and the CSCS pond is <_ 1 .5 feet . Sediment level is determined by a series of sounding cross-sections compared to as-built soundings . The 24 month Frequency is based on historical data and engineering judgment regarding sediment deposition rate .

SR 3-7-3 .3 This SR ensures adequate long term (30 days) cooling can be maintained, by verifying the CSCS pond bottom elevation is

<_ 686 .5 feet . The 24-month Frequency is based on historical data and engineering judgment regarding pond bottom elevation changes .
