Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-7 (continued) and operation may continue in accordance with Condition A, provided the Completion Time for Required Action A.2 has not expired.
EXAMPLE 1.3-8 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One A.1 Restore subsystem 7 days subsystem to OPERABLE OR inoperable. status.
In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> Action and AND associated Completion B.2 Be in MODE 5. 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> Time not met.
When a subsystem is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered. The 7 day Completion Time may be applied as discussed in Example 1.3-2.
However, the licensee may elect to apply the Risk Informed Completion Time Program which permits calculation of a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) that may be used to complete the Required Action beyond the 7 day Completion Time. The RICT cannot exceed 30 days. After the 7 day Completion Time has expired, the subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within the RICT or Condition B must also be entered.
The Risk Informed Completion Time Program requires recalculation of the RICT to reflect changing plant conditions. For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration. For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-8 (continued)
If the 7 day Completion Time clock of Condition A has expired and subsequent changes in plant condition result in exiting the applicability of the Risk Informed Completion Time Program without restoring the inoperable subsystem to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start.
If the RICT expires or is recalculated to be less than the elapsed time since the Condition was entered and the inoperable subsystem has not been restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable subsystems are restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Condition A is exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.
IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 353 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-59 CONSTELLATION FITZPATRICK, LLC CONSTELLATION ENERGY GENERATION, LLC DOCKET NO. 50-333 JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 30, 2021 (Reference 1), as supplemented by letters dated March 4, 2022, and June 16, 2022 (References 2 and 3), Exelon Generation Company, LLC submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick).
On February 1, 2022 (Reference 4), Exelon Generation Company, LLC was renamed Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (the licensee). The amendment would revise technical specification (TS) requirements to permit the use of risk-informed completion times (RICTs) for actions to be taken when limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) are not met. The proposed changes are based on Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative 4b, dated July 2, 2018 (Reference 5). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued a final model safety evaluation (SE) approving TSTF-505, Revision 2, on November 21, 2018 (Reference 6).
The licensee has proposed variations from the TS changes approved in TSTF-505, Revision 2, which are provided in Section 2.3 of the LAR and evaluated in Section 3.2.1 of this SE.
The NRC staff participated in a regulatory audit in January 2022 to ascertain the information needed to support its review of the application and to develop requests for additional information (RAIs), as needed. On August 31, 2022, the NRC staff issued an audit summary (Reference 7).
Following the regulatory audit, the licensee submitted a supplement letter dated March 4, 2022, that included additional information resulting from the audit. In review of the supplemental information, the NRC issued a request for additional information (RAI) in email correspondence dated May 4, 2022 (Reference 8). The licensee provided a response to the RAIs in letter dated June 16, 2022. The supplemental letters of March 4, 2022, and June 16, 2022, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on November 30, 2021 (86 FR 67988).
Enclosure 2
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50 provides the general provisions for Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities. The general provisions include but are not limited to establishing the regulatory requirements that a licensee must adhere to for the submittal of a license application. The NRC staff has identified the following applicable sections within 10 CFR Part 50, along with the provision provided in 10 CFR Part 20 for the staffs review of a licensees application to adopt TSTF-505, Revision 2.
10 CFR 50.36(c)(2), and (c)(5), Technical Specifications 10 CFR 50.55a(h), Codes and Standards 10 CFR 50.65, Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants (i.e., the Maintenance Rule) 10 CFR Part 20, Standard for Protection Against Radiation NRC Regulatory Guides (RGs) provide one way to ensure that the codified regulations continue to be met. The NRC staff considered the following guidance, along with industry guidance endorsed by the NRC during its review of the proposed changes:
RG 1.200, Revision 2, and Revision 3, An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities.
(References 9 and 10, respectively)
RG 1.174, Revision 3, An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis.

Technical Specifications. (Reference 14)
NEI 06-09-A, Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 4b, Risk-Managed Technical Specifications (RMTS) Guidelines provides guidance for risk-informed TS.
The NRC staff issued a final model SE approving NEI 06-09 on May 17, 2007.
(Reference 15)
In certain instances, the licensees submittal cites Revision 2 and Revision 3 of RG 1.200.
RG 1.200 has been updated to Revision 3. The updates do not include any technical changes that would impact the consistency with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Topical Report (TR) 06-09-A; therefore, the NRC staff finds the updated revision to the RG 1.200 also applicable for use in the adoption of TSTF-505, Revision 2.
2.1 Description of Risk-Informed Completion Time Program The TS LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When an LCO is not met, the licensee must shut down the reactor or follow any remedial or required action (e.g., testing, maintenance, or repair activity)
permitted by the TSs until the condition can be met. The remedial actions (i.e., ACTIONS) associated with an LCO contain conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Time(s) (CT). The CTs are referred to as the front stops in the context of this SE. For certain conditions, the TSs require exiting the Mode of Applicability of an LCO (i.e., shut down the reactor).
The licensees submittal requested approval to add a RICT program to the Administrative Controls Section of the TS, and modify selected CTs to permit extending the CTs, provided risk is assessed and managed as described in NEI 06-09-A.
The licensee is proposing no changes to the design of the plant or any operating parameter, and no new changes to the design basis in the proposed changes to the TS. The effect of the proposed changes when implemented will allow CTs to vary, based on the risk significance of the given plant configuration (i.e., the equipment out-of-service at any given time), provided that the system(s) retain(s) the capability to perform the applicable safety function(s) without any further failures (e.g., one train of a two-train system is inoperable). These restrictions on inoperability of all required trains of a system ensure that consistency with the defense-in-depth (D-I-D) philosophy is maintained by following existing guidance when the capability to perform TS safety function(s) is lost.
The proposed RICT program uses plant -specific operating experience for component reliability and availability data. Thus, the allowances permitted by the RICT program are directly reflective of actual component performance in conjunction with component risk significance.
For TS use and application:
Example 1.3-8, will be added to TS 1.3, CTs, and will read as follows:
EXAMPLE 1.3-8 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One A.1 Restore subsystem 7 days subsystem to OPERABLE inoperable. status. OR In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program.
B. Required B.1 Be in MODE 3. 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> Action and associated AND Completion Time not B.2 Be in MODE 5. 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> met.
When a subsystem is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered.
The 7 day Completion Time May be applied as discussed in Example 1.3-2. However, the licensee may elect to apply the Risk Informed Completion Time Program which permits calculation of a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) that may be used to complete the Required Action beyond the 7 day Completion Time.
The RICT cannot exceed 30 days. After the 7 day Completion Time has expired, the subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within the RICT or Condition B must also be entered.
The Risk Informed Completion Time Program requires recalculation of the RICT to reflect changing plant conditions. For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration. For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.
If the 7 day Completion Time clock of Condition A has expired and subsequent changes in plant condition result in exiting the applicability of the Risk Informed Completion Time Program without restoring the inoperable subsystem to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered, and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start.
If the RICT expires or is recalculated to be less than the elapsed time since the Condition was entered and the inoperable subsystem has not been restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered, and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable subsystems are restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Conditions A is exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
An acceptable approach for making risk-informed decisions about proposed TS changes, including both permanent and temporary changes, is to demonstrate that the proposed licensing basis (LB) changes meet the five key principles provided in Section C of RG 1.174 and the three-tiered approach outlined in Section C of RG 1.177 (Reference 13). These key principles and tiers are:
Principle 1: The proposed LB change meets the current regulations unless it is explicitly related to a requested exemption.
Principle 2: The proposed LB change is consistent with the defense in depth (D-I-D) philosophy.
Principle 3: The proposed LB change maintains sufficient safety margins.
Principle 4: When the proposed LB change results in an increase in risk, the increase should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions policy statement on safety goals for the operations of nuclear power plants.
Tier 1: PRA Capability and Insights Tier 2: Avoidance of Risk-Significant Plant Configurations Tier 3: Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management Principle 5: The impact of the proposed LB change should be monitored by using performance measures strategies.
3.1 Method of NRC Staff Review Each of the key principles and tiers are addressed in NEI 06-09-A and approved in the final model SE issued by the NRC for TSTF-505, Revision 2. The industry guidance provides a methodology for extending existing CTs, and thereby, delay exiting the operational mode of applicability or taking Required Actions if risk is assessed and managed within the limits and programmatic requirements established by a RICT program. The NRC staffs evaluation of the licensees proposed use of RICTs against the key safety principles of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 is discussed below.
3.2 Review of Key Principles 3.2.1 Key Principle 1: Evaluation of Compliance with Current Regulations Paragraph 50.36(c)(2) of 10 CFR requires that LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When an LCO of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the TS until the condition can be met.
The CTs in the current TSs were established using experiential data, risk insights, and engineering judgement. The RICT program provides the necessary administrative controls to permit extension of CTs and, thereby, delay reactor shutdown or Required Actions, if risk is assessed and managed appropriately within specified limits and programmatic requirements and the safety margins and D-I-D remains sufficient. The option to determine the extended CT in accordance with the RICT program allows the licensee to perform an integrated evaluation in accordance with the methodology prescribed in NEI 06-09-A and TS 5.5.16. The RICT is limited to a maximum of 30 days (termed the back stop).
The typical CT is modified by the application of the RICT program as shown in the following example. The changed portion is indicated in italics.
ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One subsystem A.1 Restore subsystem 7 days inoperable. to OPERABLE status. OR In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program In Attachment 2 and Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, the licensee provided a list of the TSs, associated LCOs, and Required Actions for the CTs that included modifications and variations from the approved TSTF-505. In response to the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)
Licensing Branch-A (APLA) RAI 02.a, the licensee removed their initial submittal request for TS 3.3.7.2.A from the scope of the RICT program. In response to the Electrical Engineering Branch (EEEB) RAI 07, the licensee removed 3.3.8.1 from the scope of the RICT program. The modifications and variations consisted of proposed changes to the Required Actions and CTs.
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes to the TSs, associated LCOs, Required Actions and CTs provided by the licensee for the scope of the RICT program and concluded, with the incorporation of the RICT program, that the required performance levels of equipment specified in LCOs are not changed, only the required CT for the Required Actions are modified, such that 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) will remain met. Based on the discussion provided above, the NRC staff finds that the TS program provided in Section 2.0 of this SE, LCOs, Required Actions, and CTs meet the first key principle of RG 1.174, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 2.
3.2.2 Key Principle 2: Evaluation of Defense in Depth In RG 1.174, Revision 3, the NRC identified the following considerations used for evaluation of how the LB change is maintained for the D-I-D philosophy:
Preserve a reasonable balance among the layers of defense.
Preserve adequate capability of design features without an overreliance on programmatic activities as compensatory measures.
Preserve system redundancy, independence, and diversity commensurate with the expected frequency and consequences of challenges to the system, including consideration of uncertainty.
Preserve adequate defense against potential common cause failures (CCFs).
Maintain multiple fission product barriers.
Preserve sufficient defense against human errors.
Continue to meet the intent of the plants design criteria.
The licensee requested to use the RICT program to extend the existing CTs for the respective TS LCOs prescribed in Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented. For the TS LCOs in and Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, the licensee provided a description and assessment of the redundancy and diversity for the proposed changes. The NRC staffs evaluation of the proposed changes for these LCOs assessed Fitzpatricks redundant or diverse means to mitigate accidents to ensure consistency with the plant LB requirements using the
guidance prescribed in RG 1.174, RG 1.177, and TSTF-505, to ensure adequate D-I-D (for each of the functions) to operate the facility in the proposed manner (i.e., that the changes are consistent with the D-I-D criteria). , Information Supporting Instrumentation Redundancy and Diversity, and of the LAR provided information supporting the FitzPatrick evaluation of the redundancy, diversity, and D-I-D for each TS LCO and TS Required Action as it related to instrumentation and control (I&C) and electrical power systems. The NRC notes that in response to APLA RAI 02.a and EEEB Question 7 provided in supplements, the licensee removed TS 3.3.7.2.A and TS 3.3.8.1 respectively from the scope of the RICT program. The NRC staff confirmed that for the following TS LCOs, the above D-I-D criteria were applicable except for the criteria for maintaining multiple fission product barriers.
TS 3.3.1.1, Reactor Protection System (RPS) Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.2.2, Feedwater System and Main Turbine High Water Level Trip Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.4.1, Anticipated Transient Without Scram Recirculation Pump Trip (ATWS-RPT) Instrumentation [I&C specific))
TS 3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.5.3, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.6.1, Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating [power-related]
TS 3.8.4, DC Sources - MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 [power-related]
TS 3.8.7, AC Instrument Bus Sources - MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 [electrical-related]
TS 3.8.9, Distribution Systems - MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 [power-related]
For the TS LCOs specific to I&C (i.e., TS 3.3.x.x), the NRC staff reviewed the specific trip logic arrangements, redundancy, backup systems, manual actions, and diverse trips specified for each of the protective safety functions and associated instrumentation as described in the associated Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) (Reference 16) sections, and as reflected in Attachment 5 and Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, for each I&C LCO above. The NRC staff verified, that in accordance with the FitzPatrick UFSAR and equipment and actions credited in Attachment 5 and Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, in all applicable operating modes, the affected protective feature would perform its intended function by ensuring the ability to detect and mitigate the associated event or accident when the CT of a channel is extended. Furthermore, the NRC staff concludes that there is sufficient redundancy, diversity, and D-I-D, to protect against CCFs and potential single failure for the FitzPatrick instrumentation systems evaluated in LAR Attachment 5 and Enclosure 1, as supplemented, during a RICT. There is at least one diverse means specified by the licensee for initiating mitigating action for each accident event, thus providing D-I-D against a failure of instrumentation during the RICT for each TS LCO. The D-I-D specified by the licensee does not overly rely on manual actions as the diverse means; therefore, there is not over-reliance of programmatic activities as compensatory measures. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the intent of the plants design criteria (e.g., safety functions) for the above TS LCOs related to I&C are maintained.
For the TS LCOs specific to electrical-power systems (i.e., TS 3.8.x), the FitzPatrick UFSAR states that the plant is designed such that the safety functions are maintained assuming a single failure within the electrical power system. Single-failure requirements are typically suspended
for the time that a plant is not meeting an LCO (i.e., in an ACTION statement). The NRC staff reviewed the information the licensee provided throughout the entirety of the LAR and its supplement for the proposed TS LCOs, TS Bases, and the UFSAR to verify the capacity and capability of the affected electrical power systems to perform their safety functions (assuming no additional failures) is maintained. The NRC staff verified that the design success criteria for the affected TS LCOs reflect the redundant or absolute minimum electrical power source/subsystem required to be operable to support the safety functions necessary to mitigate postulated design-basis accidents (DBAs), safely shutdown the reactor, and maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. In addition, the NRC staff reviewed the risk management action (RMA) examples which provide reasonable assurance that the appropriate RMAs will be implemented to monitor and control risk. The NRC staff finds that the intent of the plants design criteria (e.g.,
safety functions) applicable to the electrical-power related TS LCOs provided above are maintained.
The NRC staff notes that while in a TS LCO condition, the redundancy of the affected system will be temporarily relaxed and, consequently, the system reliability will be degraded accordingly. The NRC staff examined the design information from the FitzPatrick UFSAR and the risk informed TS LCO conditions for the affected safety functions. Based on this information, the NRC staff confirmed that under any given DBA evaluated in the FitzPatrick UFSAR, the affected protective features maintain adequate D-I-D.
Considering that the CT extensions will be implemented in accordance with the NEI 06-09-A guidance, that also considers RMAs, and the redundancy of the offsite and onsite power system, the NRC staff finds that the plant will maintain adequate D-I-D. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the TS LCOs proposed by the licensee in Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented, are acceptable for the RICT program.
The NRC staff reviewed all TS LCOs proposed by the licensee in Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented, and concludes that the proposed changes do not alter the ways in which the FitzPatrick systems fail, do not introduce new CCF modes, and the system independence is maintained. The NRC staff finds that some proposed changes reduce the level of redundancy of the affected systems, and this reduction may reduce the level of defense against some CCFs; however, such reductions in redundancy and defense against CCFs are acceptable due to existing diverse means available to maintain adequate D-I-D against a potential single failure during a RICT. The NRC staff finds that extending the selected CTs with the RICT program following loss of redundancy, but maintaining the capability of the system to perform its safety function, is an acceptable reduction in D-I-D during the proposed RICT period provided that the licensee identifies and implements compensatory measures in accordance with the RICT program during the extended CT.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the licensees proposed changes are consistent with the NRC-endorsed guidance prescribed in the NEI 06-09-A and satisfy the second key principle in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177. Additionally, the NRC staff concludes that the changes are consistent with the D-I-D philosophy as described in RG 1.174.
3.2.3 Key Principle 3: Evaluation of Safety Margins Paragraph 50.55a(h) of 10 CFR (Codes and Standards) requires in part, that protection systems of nuclear power reactors of all types must meet the requirements specified in this paragraph. Section 2.2.2 of RG 1.177 states, in part, that sufficient safety margins are maintained when:
Codes and standards or alternatives approved for use by the NRC are met.
Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) are met or proposed revisions provide sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainties.
The licensee is not proposing in this application to change any quality standard, material, or operating specification. In the LAR, the licensee proposed to add a new program, Risk Informed Completion Time Program, in Section 5.0, Administrative Controls, of the TSs, which would require adherence to NEI 06-09-A.
The NRC staff evaluated the effect on safety margins when the RICT is applied to extend the CT up to a backstop of 30 days in a TS condition with sufficient trains remaining operable to fulfill the TS safety function. Although the licensee will be able to have design-basis equipment out of service longer than the current TS allow any increase in unavailability is expected to be insignificant and is addressed by the consideration of the single failure criterion in the design-basis analyses. Acceptance criteria for operability of equipment are not changed and, if sufficient trains remain operable to fulfill the TS safety function, the operability of the remaining train(s) ensures that the current safety margins are maintained. The NRC staff finds that if the specified TS safety function remains operable, sufficient safety margins would be maintained during the extended CT of the RICT program.
Safety margins are also maintained if PRA functionality is determined for the inoperable train which would result in an increased CT. Credit for PRA functionality, as described in NEI 06-09-A, is limited to the inoperable train, LOOP, or component.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the design-basis analyses for FitzPatrick remains applicable and unchanged, sufficient safety margins would be maintained during the extended CT and the proposed changes to the TSs do not include any change in the standards applied or the safety analysis acceptance criteria. The NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes meet 10 CFR 50.55a(h), and therefore, the third key principle in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177.
3.2.4 Key Principle 4: Change in Risk Consistent with the Safety Goal Policy Statement NEI 06-09-A provides a methodology for a licensee to evaluate and manage the risk impact of extensions to TS CTs. Permanent changes to the fixed TS CTs are typically evaluated by using the three-tiered approach described in Chapter 16.1 of NUREG-0800, RG 1.177, and RG 1.174.
This approach addresses the calculated change in risk as measured by the change in core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF), as well as the incremental conditional core damage probability and incremental conditional large early release probability; the use of compensatory measures to reduce risk; and the implementation of a configuration risk management program (CRMP) to identify risk-significant plant configurations.
The NRC staff evaluated the licensees processes and methodologies for determining that the change in risk from implementation of RICTs will be small and consistent with the intent of the
Commissions Safety Goal Policy Statement. In addition, the NRC staff evaluated the licensees proposed changes against the three-tiered approach in RG 1.177 for the licensees evaluation of the risk associated with a proposed TS CT change. The results of the staffs review are discussed below.
3.2.4.1 Tier 1: PRA Capability and Insights The first tier evaluates the impact of the proposed changes on plant operational risk. The Tier 1 review involves two aspects: (1) scope and acceptability of the PRA models and their application to the proposed changes, and (2) a review of the PRA results and insights described in the licensees application.
Enclosures 2 and 4 of the LAR identified the following modeled hazards and alternate methodologies the licensee proposed to be used in the FitzPatrick RICT program to assess the risk contribution for extending the CT of a TS LCO.
Internal Events PRA model (includes internal floods)
Internal Fire Events PRA model Seismic Hazard: CDF penalty of 2.5E-06 per year, and a LERF penalty of 1.0E-06 per year Other External Hazards: screened out from RICT program based on Appendix 6-A of the ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 PRA Standard Evaluation of Internal Events and Fire PRA Models The internal events PRA (IEPRA) and fire PRA (FPRA) models supporting the RICT program are discussed in Enclosure 2 of the LAR, as supplemented. The licensee stated that the PRA models had been peer reviewed using the American Society of Mechanical Engineers/
American Nuclear Society (ASME/ANS) RA-Sa-2009 PRA Standard (Reference 17) for the IEPRA and FPRA and RG 1.200 Revision 2. For the open F&Os resulting from these peer reviews, the licensee stated that closure of the F&Os was performed using an independent assessment process. The NRC staff confirmed that the licensee performed closure of the F&Os consistent with Appendix X to NEI 05-04, 07-12, and 12-13, (Reference 18) as endorsed in RG 1.200, Revision 3.
In Enclosure 9 of the LAR, as supplemented, the licensee provided a discussion of potential key assumptions and sources of uncertainty, along with treatment for the application of TSTF-505.
The licensee discussed PRA modeling of FLEX strategies and associated uncertainties. The NRC staff concluded that the licensees credit for FLEX equipment in the TSTF-505 application is appropriate because the licensee used consensus human reliability analysis methodologies and practices and performed sensitivity studies to assess the impact on the TSTF-505 application.
The NRC staff reviewed the PRA models peer review history provided by the licensee in of the LAR, as supplemented. The licensee adequately applied the guidance for establishing PRA technical acceptability for the aforementioned models. The NRC staff further considered the potential key assumptions and key sources of uncertainty identified by the licensee, proposed use of surrogates in the PRA models for specific TS functions, and credit for FLEX. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the FitzPatrick IEPRA and FPRA models to be acceptable
commensurate with the RICT application. As such, their use in the integrated decision-making process is consistent with RG 1.174.
Evaluation of Seismic Hazard The licensees approach for including the seismic risk contribution in the RICT calculation was to add a penalty seismic CDF and a penalty seismic LERF to each RICT calculation. The proposed bounding seismic CDF estimate was based on using the plant-specific seismic hazard curves developed in response to the Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) recommendation 2.1 (Reference 19), and a plant-level high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) capacity of 0.22g referenced to peak ground acceleration (PGA). The uncertainty parameter for seismic capacity was represented by a composite beta factor (c) of 0.4. The calculated seismic CDF penalty was 2.5E-06 per year. The NRC staffs review finds the method to determine the baseline seismic CDF acceptable because it is consistent with the approach used in GI-199 (Reference 20). The NRC staff convolved the input parameters identified by the licensee to confirm the proposed bounding seismic CDF estimate.
Concerning the proposed bounding seismic LERF estimate, the licensee provided justification for the representative fragilities selected for FitzPatrick based on available industry sources of at-power SPRAs in the March 4, 2022, supplement. The licensee stated that, consistent with industry risk assessment guidance documents, the breakdown of SCDF by accident sequence type in the FitzPatrick seismic LERF calculation used representative fragility information and the approach has been used in other past RICT LARs and judged a reasonable approach for the purpose of estimating the seismic LERF in the absence of a plant-specific SPRA and plant-specific fragilities. In addition, the licensee corrected its seismic conditional large early release probability (SCLERP) of 0.21 in the LAR to 0.29 in the supplement for certain accident scenarios, which led to a new SCLERP value of 0.4 and seismic LERF penalty of 1.0E-06 per year. The NRC staff finds the method to determine the bounding seismic LERF acceptable because the approach (1) uses a technically defensible accident sequence breakdown with generic fragilities, (2) is consistent with the approach used in past approved RICT LARs, and (3) results in a SCLERP of 0.4, which is conservative based on the staffs review of ratios between seismic LERF and seismic CDF from multiple SPRA submittals and TSTF-505 LAR submittals.
The licensee addressed the incremental risk associated with seismically induced LOOP in its March 4, 2022, supplement. A seismic LOOP frequency across the entire hazard interval is 1.4E-05 per year. This frequency is about 0.6 percent of the total internal events 24-hour non-recovered LOOP frequency of 2.2E-03 per year already addressed in the internal events PRA model. The NRC staff evaluated the licensees analysis and finds it adequately addressed the impact of seismically induced LOOP on risk and that its exclusion from the non-recovered LOOP frequency had an insignificant impact on the RICT program calculations.
The NRC staff finds that, during RICTs for structures, systems, and components (SSCs) credited in the design basis to mitigate seismic events, the licensees proposed methodology captures the risk associated with seismically induced failures of redundant SSCs because such SSCs are assumed to be fully correlated. In summary, the NRC staff finds the licensees proposal to use a seismic CDF contribution of 2.5E-06 per year and a seismic LERF contribution of 1.0E-06 per year acceptable for the licensees RICT program for FitzPatrick because (1) the licensee used the most current site-specific seismic hazard information for FitzPatrick; (2) the licensee used an acceptably low plant HCLPF value of 0.22g and a combined beta factor of 0.4, which is consistent with the information for FitzPatrick in the GI-199 evaluation , in the convolution to develop the bounding seismic CDF; (3) the licensee used an
acceptable approach to calculate an SCLERP of 0.4 for the inerted containment and an SCLERP of 1.0 for the de-inerted containment; and (4) adding baseline seismic risk to RICT calculations, which assumes fully correlated failures, is conservative for SSCs credited in seismic events, while any potential non-conservative results for SSCs that are not credited in seismic events are small or nonexistent.
Evaluation of Other External Hazards Besides the seismic hazard discussed above, the licensee confirmed that other external hazards for FitzPatrick have an insignificant contribution to risk and proposed these hazards be screened from the RICT program. The licensee provided its evaluation of the extreme wind and tornado hazards for the RICT program in Section 4, Extreme Winds Analysis, of Enclosure 4 to the LAR. The licensees evaluation was based on the design of the SSCs and a site-specific tornado missile analysis. The licensee concluded that all non-missile high wind hazards and tornado missile hazards could be screened from consideration for the TSTF-505 application based on EXT-C1 Criterion C of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, which is screening criterion PS4 (i.e., bounding mean CDF is < 1E-06 per year).
The NRC staff reviewed the licensees evaluation of the extreme wind and tornado hazards and finds that the licensee appropriately considered the risk from extreme winds and tornadoes in the proposed RICTs and that the extreme winds and tornado hazards have an insignificant contribution to configuration risk and can be excluded from the calculation of the proposed RICTs.
The licensee provided its evaluation of the external flooding hazard in Section 5, External Flooding Assessment, of Enclosure 4 to the LAR. The licensees evaluation was based on the licensees flood hazard reevaluation report for FitzPatrick (Reference 21) and the licensees follow-up flooding focused evaluation for FitzPatrick (Reference 22). The licensee concluded that the external flooding hazard could be screened from consideration for the TSTF-505 application based on EXT-B1 Criterion 1 of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, which is screening criterion C1 (i.e., event damage potential is less than events for which the plant is designed).
The NRC staff reviewed the licensees evaluation of the external flooding hazard and finds that the licensee appropriately considered the risk from external flooding in the proposed RICTs and that the external flooding hazard has an insignificant contribution to configuration risk and can be excluded from the calculation of the proposed RICTs. The NRC staff also finds that plant procedures exist to ensure that the flood protection features will be available during RICTs to manage the external flooding risk in the RICT program.
The licensee provided its evaluation all other external hazards in Section 6, Evaluation of External Event Challenges and IPEEE Update Results, of Enclosure 4 to the LAR. Regarding the screening of the ice cover hazard, the licensee explained in the LAR supplement that the suction for the intake structure is at the bottom of Lake Ontario and is designed to prevent ice from entering the intake, and that a potential impact of ice cover is a LOOP, which is included in the internal events PRA.
The NRC staff reviewed the licensees evaluation of the ice cover hazard and finds that the licensee appropriately considered the risk from the ice cover hazard in the proposed RICTs and that the ice cover hazard has an insignificant contribution to configuration risk and can be excluded from the calculation of the proposed RICTs. The NRC staff also finds that plant
procedures exist to ensure that the ice conditions do not challenge the safety-related cooling system suctions during RICTs.
The licensee stated that the hazards assessed in Table E4-4 of Enclosure 4 to the LAR were those identified for consideration in non-mandatory Appendix 6-A of the ASME/ANS PRA standard, which provides a guide for identification of most of the possible external events for a plant site. The NRC staff notes that the list of hazards assessed is essentially the same list of hazards as presented in Table 4-1 of NUREG-1855, Revision 1. The licensee provided a screening disposition for each external hazard and concluded that no unique PRA model for these hazards is required to assess configuration risk for the RICT program. The NRC staff notes that the preliminary screening criteria and progressive screening criteria used is the same criteria presented in supporting requirements EXT-B1, EXT-B2, and EXT-C1 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard.
Based on the NRC staffs review of the information provided by the licensee, the NRC staff finds that the contributions from the other external hazards have an insignificant contribution to configuration risk and can be excluded from the calculation of the proposed RICTs because they either do not challenge the plant or they are bounded by the external hazards analyzed for the plant.
Application of PRA Models, Results and Insights in the RICT Program The FitzPatrick base PRA models that have been determined to be acceptable in this SE will be modified as an application-specific PRA model (i.e., CRMP tool) that will be used to analyze the risk for an extended CT. The CRMP model produces results (i.e., risk metrics) that are consistent with the NEI 06-09-A guidance. The LAR, as supplemented provided all information needed to support the requested LCO actions proposed for the FitzPatrick RICT program consistent with the Limitations and Conditions prescribed in Section 4.0 of NRCs final SE incorporated in NEI 06-09-A.
The NRC staff did not identify any insufficiencies in the licensees information or the CRMP tool as described in Enclosure 8 of the LAR. Furthermore, as stated in Attachment 5 of the LAR, the LAR does not change the design, configuration, or method of operation of the plant. The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different kind of equipment will be installed). The NRC staff finds that the FitzPatrick PRA models and CRMP tool used will continue to reflect the as-built, as-operated plant consistent with RG 1.200 for ensuring PRA acceptability is maintained. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed application of the FitzPatrick RICT program is appropriate for use in the adoption of TSTF-505 for performing RICT calculations.
The licensee provided in Enclosure 5 of the submittal the estimated total CDF and LERF of the base PRA models to demonstrate that FitzPatrick meets the 1E-4/year CDF and 1E-5/year LERF criteria of RG 1.174, consistent with the guidance in NEI 06-09-A, and that these guidelines will be satisfied for implementation of a RICT.
The licensee has incorporated NEI 06-09-A into TS 5.5.16. The estimated current total CDF and LERF for FitzPatrick PRAs meet the RG 1.174 guidelines, therefore, the NRC staff concludes the PRA results and insights to be used by the licensee in the RICT program will continue to be consistent with NEI 06-09-A.
Tier 1 Conclusions Based on the above conclusions, the NRC staff finds that the licensee has satisfied the intent of Tier 1 in RG 1.177 for determining the acceptability of the PRA, including the scope of the PRA models (i.e., IEPRA, FPRA), the evaluation of other external hazards, and seismic methodology, and is appropriate for this application.
3.2.4.2 Tier 2: Avoidance of Risk-Significant Plant Configurations As prescribed in RG 1.177, the second tier evaluates the capability of the licensee to identify and avoid risk-significant plant configurations that could result if equipment, in addition to that associated with the proposed change, is taken out of service simultaneously or if other risk-significant operational factors, such as concurrent system or equipment testing, are also involved. In Section 2 of Enclosure 10 of the LAR, the licensee confirmed that the risk thresholds associated with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) will be coordinated with the RICT limits. 2 of the LAR identifies three kinds of RMAs (i.e., actions to provide increased risk awareness and control, actions to reduce the duration of maintenance activities, and actions to minimize the magnitude of the risk increase). The LAR also explains that RMAs will be implemented in accordance with current plant procedures and no later than the time at which the 1E-06 incremental core damage probability (ICDP) or 1E-07 incremental large early release probability (ILERP) threshold is reached and under emergent conditions when the instantaneous CDF and LERF thresholds are exceeded.
The NRC staff concludes that the Tier 2 attributes of the proposed RICT program, including the limits established for entry into a RICT and implementation of RMAs, are consistent with NEI 06-09-A. Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the intent of Tier 2 in RG 1.177.
3.2.4.3 Tier 3: Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management The third tier stipulates that the licensee should develop a program that ensures the risk impact of out-of-service equipment is appropriately evaluated prior to performing any maintenance activity. The proposed RICT program establishes a CRMP based on the underlying PRA models. The CRMP is then used to evaluate configuration-specific risk for planned activities associated with the RMTS extended CT, as well as emergent conditions which may arise during an extended CT. This required assessment of configuration risk, along with the implementation of compensatory measures and RMAs, is consistent with the principle of Tier 3 for assessing and managing the risk impact of out-of-service equipment.
Paragraph 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR identifies administrative controls as the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, thereby assuring operation of the facility in a safe manner. In Enclosure 8 of the submittal, Attributes of the Real Time Risk Model, the licensee confirmed that future changes made to the baseline PRA models and changes made to the online model (i.e., CRMP) are controlled and documented by plant procedures. Enclosure 10 of the LAR provided the attributes that the licensees RICT program procedures will address, which are consistent with NEI 06-09-A. The NRC staff finds that the licensee has identified appropriate administrative controls consistent with NEI 06-09-A and 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5).
Based on the licensees incorporation of NEI 06-09-A in the TS (discussed in LAR , as supplemented and its use of RMAs (discussed in LAR Enclosure 12), and because the proposed changes are consistent with the Tier 3 guidance of RG 1.177, the NRC
staff finds the licensees Tier 3 program is acceptable and supports the proposed implementation of the RICT program.
3.2.4.4 Key Principle 4: Conclusions The licensee has demonstrated the technical acceptability and scope of its PRA models and alternative methods, including consideration of the impact of seismic events, extreme winds and tornado hazards, and other external hazards, and that the models can support implementation of the RICT program for determining extensions to CTs. The licensee has made proper consideration of key assumptions and sources of uncertainty. The risk metrics are consistent with the approved methodology of NEI 06-09-A and the acceptance guidance in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174. The RICT program will be controlled administratively through plant procedures and training and follows the NRC-approved methodology in NEI 06-09-A. The NRC staff concludes that the RICT program satisfies the fourth key principle of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, and therefore, is acceptable.
3.2.5 Key Principle 5: Performance Measurement Strategies - Implementation and Monitoring RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 establish the need for an implementation and monitoring program to ensure that extensions to TS CTs do not degrade operational safety over time and that no adverse degradation occurs due to unanticipated degradation or common cause mechanisms. 1 of the LAR states, the SSCs in scope of the RICT program are also in the scope of 10 CFR 50.65 for the Maintenance Rule. The Maintenance Rule monitoring programs will provide for evaluation and disposition of unavailability impacts which may be incurred from implementation of the RICT program. Furthermore, in Enclosure 11 of the LAR, the licensee confirmed that the cumulative risk is calculated at least every refueling cycle, but the recalculation period does not exceed 24 months, which is consistent with NEI 06-09-A.
The NRC staff concludes that the RICT program satisfies the fifth key principle of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 because: (1) the RICT program will monitor the average annual cumulative risk increase as described in NEI 06-09-A, thereby, ensuring the program, as implemented, continues to meet RG 1.174 guidance for small risk increases; and (2) all affected SSCs are within the Maintenance Rule program, which is used to monitor changes to the reliability and availability of these SSCs.
3.
2.6 NRC Staff Conclusion
The NRC staff evaluated the proposed changes against each of the five key principles in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174, including the optional variations from the approved TSTF-505 discussed in Section 3.2.1 of this SE. The NRC staff concludes that the changes proposed by the licensee satisfy the key principles of risk-informed decision-making identified in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, and therefore the requested adoption of the proposed changes to the TSs, implementation items, and associated guidance, is acceptable to ensure 10 CFR Part 20 continues to be met.
4.0 PROPOSED REVISION TO THE OPERATING LICENSE In the LAR, the licensee proposed the addition of the following license condition to the renewed facility operating license for FitzPatrick:
Adoption of Risk Informed Completion Times TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times -RITSTF Initiative 4b Exelon is approved to implement TSTF-505, Revision 2, modifying the Technical Specification requirements related to Completion Times (CT) for Required Actions to provide the option to calculate a longer, risk-informed CT (RICT). The methodology for using the new Risk-Informed Completion Time Program is described in NEI 06-09-A, Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 4b, Risk-Managed, Technical Specifications (RMTS) Guidelines, Revision 0, which was approved by the NRC on May 17, 2007.
Exelon will complete the implementation items listed in Attachment 6 of Exelon Letter to the NRC dated July 30, 2021, prior to implementation of the RICT Program. All issues identified in the attachment will be addressed and any associated changes will be made, focused-scope peer reviews will be performed on changes that are PRA upgrades as defined in the PRA standard (ASME/ANS RA-Sa -2009, as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2), and any findings will be resolved and reflected in the PRA of record prior to the implementation of the RICT Program.
In response to APLA RAI 02.a, the licensee removed their initial submittal request for TS 3.3.7.2.A from the scope of the RICT program and provided updated TS markups. Therefore, implementation item 1, associated with this TS provided in Attachment 7 of the LAR is no longer applicable. The NRC staff finds that the proposed license condition is acceptable because it explicitly states for implementation that the FitzPatrick RICT program and PRAs will: (1) be consistent with NEI 06-09-A, and (2) address all changes consistent with RG 1.200, Revision 2.
On February 1, 2022, Exelon Generation Company, LLC was renamed Constellation Energy Generation, LLC. Therefore, with conforming changes to reflect this name change, the license condition will state:
Adoption of Risk Informed Completion Times TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk- Informed Extension Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative 4b Constellation Energy Generation, LLC is approved to implement TSTF-505, Revision 2, modifying the Technical Specification requirements related to Completion Times (CT) for Required Actions to provide the option to calculate a longer, risk-informed CT (RICT). The methodology for using the new Risk-Informed Completion Time Program is described in NEI 06-09-A, Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 4b, Risk-Managed Technical Specifications (RMTS) Guidelines, Revision 0, which was approved by the NRC on May 17, 2007.
Constellation Energy Generation, LLC will complete the implementation items listed in Attachment 6 of the Exelon Generation Company, LLC Letter to the NRC dated July 30, 2021, prior to implementation of the RICT Program. All issues identified in the attachment will be addressed and any associated changes will be made, focused-scope peer reviews will be performed on changes that are PRA upgrades as defined in the PRA standard (ASME/ANS RA-Sa -2009, as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2), and any findings will be resolved and reflected in the PRA of record prior to the implementation of the RICT Program.
