1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated June 15, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20167A190), as supplemented by letter dated November 4, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20310A219), PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for the Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek). The amendment would revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.5.1, ECCS [Emergency Core Cooling System] - Operating. Specifically, the proposed TS changes would add a new Action 2.b to TS Action 3.5.1.c allowing continued operation up to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for the condition where the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system is inoperable, coincident with an inoperable core spray system (CSS) subsystem and an inoperable low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) subsystem. Also, the proposed TS would rephrase the existing TS Action 3.5.1.c to improve clarity relative to entry conditions.
The supplemental letter dated November 4, 2020, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on July 28, 2020 (85 FR 45448).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.46, Acceptance criterial for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors, state, in part, that the ECCS must be designed such that an evaluation performed using an acceptable evaluation model (EM) demonstrates that acceptance criteria, set forth in 10 CFR 50.46(b), including peak cladding temperature, cladding oxidation, hydrogen generation, maintenance of coolable core geometry, and long-term core cooling are met for a variety of hypothetical loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs), including the most severe hypothetical LOCA.
OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION The requirements for TS are set forth in 10 CFR 50.36,Technical specifications. Specific categories of TS are provided in 10 CFR 50.36(c) and include limiting conditions for operation (LCOs). If an LCO is not met, the facility must be shut down, or other acceptable remedial action must be taken. The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2), Limiting conditions for operations, states that LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The licensee proposed revisions to TS 3.5.1 for operation of the ECCS. Specifically, the changes would rephrase the Action statements, c.1 and c.2, and renumber c.2 as c.2.a to improve clarity relative to entry conditions.
Current TS 3.5.1.c.1 permits the HPCI system to be inoperable for up to 14 days provided that the CSS, LPCI, automatic depressurization system (ADS), and the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) systems are operable. The licensee would add a new Action statement c.2.b to TS 3.5.1. The proposed addition avoids an unnecessary entry into TS Action 3.0.3 (i.e.,
eliminates the need for immediate plant shutdown) in the event HPCI, and one of the other ECCS systems or RCIC are inoperable. Instead, it would allow HPCI to be inoperable for up to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> with one CSS subsystem and one LPCI subsystem also inoperable. Otherwise, the plant is required to be in hot shutdown in the following 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and cold shutdown in the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The NRC staffs evaluation addresses the acceptability of the above proposed changes to TS 3.5.1.c as follows.
3.1 Current TS LCO 3.5.1.c Requirements The current Hope Creek TS affected by the proposed change is associated with Action c to TS LCO 3.5.1 for the condition of an inoperable HPCI system coincident with inoperability of low pressure ECCS subsystems. Current TS Action Statement 3.5.1.c states:
- c. For the HPCI system, provided the Core Spray System, the LPCI system, the ADS and the RCIC system are OPERABLE:
- 1. With the HPCI system inoperable, restore the HPCI system to OPERABLE status within 14 days or be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and reduce reactor steam dome pressure to 200 psig within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

As identified in Section 3.2 of this SE, proposed deletions are shown in strikeout and proposed additions are underlined. The NRC staff found that the changes would improve clarity relative to entry conditions, and do not change the corresponding current TS requirements. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the changes are acceptable.
3.3.2 Added Action 2.b to TS Action 3.5.1.c The added TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b would allow continued operation when the HPCI is inoperable, and one CSS subsystem and one LPCI subsystem are also inoperable. The NRC staff evaluated whether the proposed action conditions are within the NRC-approved analyzed conditions and determines the acceptability of the changes as follows.
3.3.2.1 Emergency Core Cooling System Operating Requirements The ECCS is designed to protect against the effects of a postulated LOCAs in compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46. The ECCS is described in Section 6.3 of the Hope Creek Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). The TS 3.5.1 Actions allow operation for various cases when ECCS subsystems are inoperable. Current Action a covers cases when the CSS is inoperable; Action b specifies situations when the LPCI is inoperable; and Action c defines conditions when the HPCI is inoperable.
3.3.2.1.1 Available ECCS Subsystems under Action 2.b to TS 3.5.1.c According to the TS 3.5.1 requirements, an operable ECCS requires that the HPCI system, two CSS subsystems, four LPCI subsystems, and ADS be operable. The added Action 2.b to TS 3.5.1.c would allow continued operation when the HPCI is inoperable with concurrent inoperability of an LPCI subsystem and a CSS subsystem. Under the proposed Action 2.b condition, the following ECCS subsystems are still available for use in the event of a LOCA:
3.3.2.1.2 ECCS Subsystems Assumed in the LOCA Analysis of Record The licensee states that for both large-break and small-break LOCA analyses, the above available ECCS subsystems are sufficient to provide adequate core cooling. The licensee confirmed by the letter dated November 4, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20310A219), that the current LOCA analysis of record (AOR) was discussed in the Hope Creek UFSAR. As stated in Section 6.3.3.7 of the Hope Creek UFSAR, the LOCA AOR at Hope Creek was performed with the previously NRC-approved SAFER/GESTR - LOCA methodology and the analysis results were discussed in Reference 6.3-4 of the UFSAR, which is a plant-specific LOCA analysis report applicable to Hope Creek, NEDC-33172-P, SAFER/GESTR-LOCA Loss-of-Coolant Accident Analysis for Hope Creek Generating Station at Power Uprate, March 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML053250469; not publicly available).

NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, LWR [Light-Water Edition] Edition, (SRP) Section 15.6.5, Loss-of-Coolant Accidents Resulting from Spectrum of Postulated Piping Breaks within the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary, March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070550016), provides the review guidance for the LOCA analysis. SRP Section 15.6.5 states that the LOCA analysis should consider piping breaks postulated to occur at various locations and include a spectrum of break sizes, up to a maximum pipe break equivalent in size to the double-ended rupture of the largest pipe in the reactor coolant pressure boundary. In addition, the analysis should address the effects of single failures on the ECCS performance. Following the SRP Section 15.6.5 guidance, the licensee performed the AOR for break sizes ranging from ((
))
The analysis included the effects of the following credible single failures: (1) channel A direct current (Battery) source, (2) a standby diesel generator, (3) an LPCI injection valve, and (4) the HPCI. For each assumed single failure, the licensee identified the remaining operable ECCS subsystems in Table 4-4 of NEDC-33172-P. The analysis covered for breaks located in ((
)) As a result, the analyses identified that ((

The LOCA AOR included the results of the analyzed LOCA cases as cases A.1 through C.5 in Appendix A of NEDC-33172-P. For each case, the following available ECCS subsystems assumed in the analysis.
(1) For the breaks in non-ECCS piping system, the available ECCS subsystems were:

A comparison of the ECCS subsystems assumed in the previously NRC-approved LOCA analysis (discussed in Section 3.3.2.1.2 of this SE) with the available ECCS systems for the proposed TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b. (1 CSS subsystem, 3 LPCI subsystems, and ADS discussed in Section 3.3.2.1.1 of this SE) shows that the ECCS capability retained by the proposed change

OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 3.3.2.2 Allowable Outage Time of 8 Hours and Shutdown Conditions The proposed TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b. allows for conditions of loss of the HPCI, one CSS subsystem, and one LPCI system, an AOT of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for restoring the HPCI, or the CSS subsystem, or the LPCI subsystem to operable status, or to bring the plant to HOT SHUTDOWN within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and reduce reactor steam dome pressure to 200 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The current TS Action 3.8.3.1.a related to onsite power distribution systems specifies that with any of the four alternating current distribution system channels de-energized, component operability will be restored within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or the plant shall be shut down. The effects of loss of any alternating current distribution channel include loss of one CSS subsystem, an LPCI subsystem, and safety related supporting systems powered by that channel. The proposed TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b is similar to TS Action 3.8.3.1.a because both the proposed TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b and TS Action 3.8.3.1 involve an AOT of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to restore multiple inoperable safety related structures, systems and components including a loss of one CSS subsystem, an LPCI subsystem. Additionally, as discussed in Section 3.3.2.1.2 of this SE, a sufficient number of the ECCS subsystems remain available to adequately mitigate a design-basis LOCA. The licensee also noted that its risk analysis shows that, with reasonable assurance, the proposed AOT of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is within the current risk acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, Revision 3, An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis, January 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17317A256), and RG 1.177, Revision 1, An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications, May 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100910008).
Based on its findings that the proposed AOT in TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.b is similar to the relevant TS Action 3.8.3.1.a, and that a sufficient number of ECCS subsystems remain available to adequately mitigate a design-basis LOCA, the NRC staff concludes that the AOT of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is acceptable.
As for the shutdown conditions and the associated AOTs, the NRC staff found that they are consistent with that specified in the acceptable TS Action 3.5.1.c.2.a discussed in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3.1 of this SE. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes the shutdown conditions and the associated times are acceptable.
3.3.3 Technical Evaluation Conclusion The NRC staff has evaluated the safety implications of the proposed TS Revision for ECCS operability when HPCI, one CSS, and one LPCI subsystem are inoperable. The proposed change will leave one CSS subsystem, three LPCI subsystems, and ADS available. This complement of equipment ((

Therefore, as the proposed TS conditions are bounded by the existing LOCA analysis, as discussed in Section 3.3.2.1.2 of this SE, the NRC staff determined that the proposed TS changes meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46.
