SONGS Units 2 and 3 Soluble Boron Credit Propose Change Number (PCN) 556 1
Introduction, Purpose and
Background
2
Purpose of SCE Presentation
- Present an overview of the proposed SONGS spent fuel storage Technical Specifications and Licensee Controlled Specifications.
- Discuss submittal schedule and expected review time
- Obtain NRC feedback on the proposed change 3
History of SCE Request for Soluble Boron Credit
- Prepared in anticipation of Boraflex panels dissolving
- Created a Fuel Storage Program - Section 5 of TS
- SCE has revised and renumbered the request.
PCN 536 will be resubmitted as PCN 556
- Revised to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.36, follow NUREG 1432, and maintain consistency with current TS and LCS.
4
Overview of PCN 556 5
Proposed PCN 556 Outline
- SCE will take credit for 970 ppm for reactivity hold down purposes, instead of taking credit for Oppm
- LCO 3.7.18 will contain new and revised Figures to define fuel assembly parameters for acceptable unrestricted storage 6
Proposed PCN 556 Outline TS 4.3.1 will be revised
- Kff will be change from <= 0.95 to <= 1.0 for SFP fully flooded with unborated water
- Keff <= 0.95 is maintained for SFP with 1700 ppm boron
- Guide Tube Inserts
- Neutron poison rods may be used for reactivity hold down 7
Proposed PCN 556 Outline
- LCS 4.0.100
- Currently contains Checkerboard loading patterns for Region II storage
- Proposed change has 54 tables and figures to define acceptable loading patterns for both Region I and Region II 8
Proposed PCN 556 Outline
- Instead of reapplying for a 10 CFR 50.74 exemption, SCE will comply with 10 CFR 50.68 9

Basis for Proposed Technical Specifications and Licensee Controlled Specifications 37
Basis
- Meets the Requirements of 10 CFR 50.36
- Follows NUREG 1432, Revision 3
- Maintains consistency with existing Technical Specifications and Licensee Control Specifications 38
Meets 10 CFR 50.36 Criteria
- (A) Criterion 1. Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.
- (B) Criterion 2. A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.
- (C) 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.

3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS 3.7.18 Spent Fuel Pool Storage LCO 3.7.18 The combination of initial enrichment and bumup of each fuel assembly stored in [Region 2] shall be within the acceptable [bumup domain] of Figure 3.7.18-1 (or in accordance with Specification 4.3.1.1].
APPLICABILITY: 'Abenever any fuel assembly is stored in [Region 21 of the fuel storage pool.
ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. Requirements of the A. 1 -- N O TE---
LCO not met. LCO 3.0.3 is not applicable.
Initiate action to move the Immediately noncomplying fuel assembly from [Region 21.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY SR 3.7.18.1 Verify by administrative means the initial enrichment Prior to storing the and bumup of the fuel assembly is in accordance fuel assembly in with Figure 3.7.18-1 or Specification 4.3.1.1. [Region 21 41

Discharge Burnup vs. Initial Enrichment for Region II Racks 42
4.3.1 Criticality 4.3.1.1 The spent fuel storage racks are designed and shall be maintained with:
- a. Fuel assemblies having a maximum U-235 enrichment of
[4.5] weight percent,
- b. keff < 0.95 if fully flooded with unborated water, which includes allowance for uncertainties as described in [Section 9.1 of the FSAR],
[c. A nominal [9] inch center to center distance between fuel assemblies placed in [the high density fuel storage racks],]
[d. A nominal [10.4] inch center to center distance between fuel assemblies placed in [the low density fuel storage racks], ]

4.3 Fuel Storage (continued)
[ e. New or partially spent fuel assemblies with a discharge burnup in the "acceptable range" of Figure [3.7.18-1] may be allowed unrestricted storage in [either] fuel storage rack(s), and ]
[ f. New or partially spent fuel assemblies with a discharge burnup in the "unacceptable range" of Figure [3.7.18-1] will be stored in compliance with the NRC approved [specific document containing the analytical methods, title, date, or specific configuration or figure]. ]

Consistent with Current TS and LCS As shown in the mark-up and discussion of the proposed changes:
- TS 3.7.18 delineates unconditional storage
- TS 4.3.1 delineates design features
- LCS 4.0.100 contains required storage restrictions for fuel not meeting the criteria of unrestricted storage 45
A Different Approach from Other Applicants
- Other plants have placed all the requirements in the Technical Specifications
- This change would add 60 pages of information to the Technical Specifications
Fuel movement is controlled step by step following a preplanned sequence 46
Review and Approval S chedule
- SCE will be requesting approval by March of 2006, with a 60-day implementation window
- This falls between Unit 2 and Unit 3 Cycle 14 refueling outages 47
