- Frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval (such as the In-Service Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program);
- Frequencies that are purely event-driven (e.g., "each time the control rod is withdrawn to the 'full out' position");
- Frequencies that are event-driven, but have a time component for performing the surveillance on a one-time basis once the event occurs (e.g., "within 24 hours after thermal power reaching :::: 95% RTP [rated thermal power]); and Enclosure 2
- Frequencies that are related to specific conditions (e.g., battery degradation, age and capacity) or conditions for the performance of a surveillance requirement (e.g., "drywell to suppression chamber differential pressure decrease"). The requested change includes the addition of a new program to TS Section 6, Administrative Controls as Specification 6.29. The new program is called the SFCP and describes the requirements for the program to control changes to the relocated surveillance frequencies. The TS Bases for each of the affected surveillance requirements are revised to state that the frequency is set in accordance with the SFCP. Some surveillance requirements Bases do not contain a discussion of the frequency. In these cases, the TS Bases describing the current frequency were added to maintain consistency with the Bases for similar surveillances. These instances are noted in the markup along with the source of the text. The proposed changes to TS Section 6, Administrative Controls, to incorporate the SFCP include a specific reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," Revision 1 (Reference 2, hereafter referred as NEI 04-10) as the basis for making any changes to the surveillance frequencies once they are relocated out of the TS. In a letter dated September 19, 2007 (Reference 3), the NRC staff approved NEI 04-10, as acceptable for referencing in licensing actions to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in NEI 04-10, and the safety evaluation providing the basis for NRC acceptance of NEI 04-10.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
In the "Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors" published in the Federal Register (58 FR 39132, July 22, 1993), the NRC addressed the use of Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA, currently referred to as Probabilistic Risk Assessment or PRA) in the Standard Technical Specifications. In discussing the use of PSA in Nuclear Power Plant TSs, the Commission wrote in part: The Commission believes that it would be inappropriate at this time to allow requirements which meet one or more of the first three criteria [of 10 CFR 50.36] to be deleted from Technical Specifications based solely on PSA (Criterion 4). However, if the results of PSA indicate that Technical Specifications can be relaxed or removed, a deterministic review will be performed .... The Commission Policy in this regard is consistent with its Policy Statement on "Safety Goals for the Operation of Nuclear Power Plants," 51 FR 30028, published on August 21, 1986. The Policy Statement on Safety Goals states in part, "* *
- probabilistic results should also be reasonably balanced and supported through use of deterministic arguments. In this way, judgments can be made*** about the degree of confidence to be given these (probabilistic) estimates and assumptions. This is a key part of the process for determining the degree of regulatory conservatism that may be warranted for particular decisions. This defense-in-depth approach is expected to continue to ensure the protection of public health and safety." ... The Commission will continue to use PSA, consistent with its policy on Safety Goals, as a tool in evaluating specific line item improvements to Technical Specifications, new requirements, and industry proposals for risk-based Technical Specification changes. Approximately two years later the NRC provided additional detail concerning the use of PRA in the "Use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Methods in Nuclear Regulatory Activities; Final Policy Statement" published in the Federal Register (60 FR 42622, August 16, 1995). The Commission, in discussing the deterministic and probabilistic approach to regulation, and the Commission's extension and enhancement of traditional regulation, wrote in part: PRA addresses a broad spectrum of initiating events by assessing the event frequency. Mitigating system reliability is then assessed, including the potential for multiple and common cause failures. The treatment therefore goes beyond the single failure requirements in the deterministic approach. The probabilistic approach to regulation is, therefore, considered an extension and enhancement of traditional regulation by considering risk in a more coherent and complete manner. The Commission provided its new policy, stating: Although PRA methods and information have thus far been used successfully in nuclear regulatory activities, there have been concerns that PRA methods are not consistently applied throughout the agency, that sufficient agency PRA/statistics expertise is not available, and that the Commission is not deriving full benefit from the large agency and industry investment in the developed risk assessment methods. Therefore, the Commission believes that an overall policy on the use of PRA in nuclear regulatory activities should be established so that the many potential applications of PRA can be implemented in a consistent and predictable manner that promotes regulatory stability and efficiency. This policy statement sets forth the Commission's intention to encourage the use of PRA and to expand the scope of PRA applications in all nuclear regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in terms of methods and data. Implementation of the policy statement will improve the regulatory process in three areas: Foremost, through safety decision making enhanced by the use of PRA insights; through more efficient use of agency resources; and through a reduction in unnecessary burdens on licensees. Therefore, the Commission adopts the following policy statement regarding the expanded NRC use of PRA: (1) The use of PRA technology should be increased in all regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in PRA methods and data and in a manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy. (2) PRA and associated analyses (e.g., sensitivity studies, uncertainty analyses, and importance measures) should be used in regulatory matters, where practical within the bounds of the state-of-the-art, to reduce unnecessary conservatism associated with current regulatory requirements, regulatory guides, license commitments, and staff practices. Where appropriate, PRA should be used to support the proposal for additional regulatory requirements in accordance with 1 O CFR 50.109 (Backfit Rule). Appropriate procedures for including PRA in the process for changing regulatory requirements should be developed and followed. It is, of course, understood that the intent of this policy is that existing rules and regulations shall be complied with unless these rules and regulations are revised. (3) PRA evaluations in support of regulatory decisions should be as realistic as practicable and appropriate supporting data should be publicly available for review. (4) The Commission's safety goals for nuclear power plants and subsidiary numerical objectives are to be used with appropriate consideration of uncertainties in making regulatory judgments on the need for proposing and backfitting new generic requirements on nuclear power plant licensees. In Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.36, the NRC established its regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation: (1) Safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) Limiting conditions for operation; (3) Surveillance requirements; (4) Design features; and (5) Administrative controls. These categories will remain in the MPS2 TSs. As stated in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3), "Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." The addition of the SFCP to the TSs provides the necessary administrative controls to require that surveillances frequencies relocated to the SFCP are conducted at a frequency to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP are made using the methodology contained in NEI 04-10, including qualitative considerations, results of risk analyses, sensitivity studies and any bounding analyses, and recommended monitoring of structures, systems, and components (SSCs), and are required to be documented. Existing regulatory requirements, such as 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants" (i.e., the Maintenance Rule), and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," require licensee monitoring of surveillance test failures and implementing corrective actions to address such failures. One of these actions may be to consider increasing the frequency at which a surveillance test is performed. In addition, the SFCP implementation guidance in NEI 04-10, requires monitoring the performance of SSCs for which surveillance frequencies are decreased to assure reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.17 4, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 100910006) describes an acceptable risk-informed approach for assessing the nature and impact of proposed permanent licensing-basis changes by considering engineering issues and applying risk insights. This regulatory guide also provides risk acceptance guidelines for evaluating the results of such evaluations. RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 100910008) describes an acceptable risk-informed approach specifically for assessing proposed TS changes. RG 1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities" (ADAMS Accession No. ML070240001 and ML090410014) (References 6 and 7) describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision making for light water-reactors. General guidance for evaluating the technical basis for proposed risk-informed changes is provided in Chapter 19, Section 19.2, "Review of Risk Information Used to Support Permanent Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis: General Guidance" (ADAMS Accession No. ML071700658), of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition." Guidance on evaluating PRA technical adequacy is provided in the SRP, Chapter 19, Section 19.1, "Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial fuel Load" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 12193A107). More specific guidance related to risk-informed TS changes is provided in SRP, Chapter 16, Section 16.1, "Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications" (ADAMS Accession No. ML070380228), which includes changes to CTs [completion times] as part of risk-informed decision making. Section 19.2 of the SRP references the same criteria as RG 1.17 4 (Reference 4) and RG 1.177 (Reference 5) and states that a risk-informed application should be evaluated to ensure that the proposed changes meet the following key principles:
- The proposed change meets the current regulations, unless it explicitly relates to a requested exemption or rule change.
- The proposed change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.
- The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins.
- When proposed changes result in an increase CDF [core damage frequency] or risk, the increase(s) should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
- The impact of the proposed change should be monitored using performance measurement strategies.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The licensee's adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3, for MPS2 provides for administrative relocation of applicable surveillance frequencies, and provides for the addition of the SFCP to the administrative controls of the TSs. TSTF-425, Revision 3, also requires the application of NEI 04-10, for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. The licensee's application for the changes proposed in TSTF-425, Revision 3, included documentation regarding the PRA technical adequacy consistent with the requirements of RG 1.200. In accordance with NEI 04-10, PRA methods are used, in combination with plant performance data and other considerations, to identify and justify modifications to the surveillance frequencies of equipment at nuclear power plants. This is in accordance with guidance provided in RG 1.17 4 and RG 1.177 in support of changes to surveillance test intervals. 3.1 Review Methodology RG 1.177 identifies five key safety principles required for risk-informed changes to TSs. Each of these principles is addressed by NEI 04-10. 3.1.1 Key Principle 1: The Proposed Change Meets Current Regulations The regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) states that TSs will include surveillances which are "requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." Licensees are required by TS to perform surveillance tests, calibration, or inspection on specific safety-related system equipment (e.g., reactivity control, power distribution, electrical, and instrumentation) to verify system operability. Surveillance frequencies, currently identified in TSs, are based primarily upon deterministic methods such as engineering judgment, operating experience, and manufacturer's recommendations. The licensee's use of NRG-approved methodologies identified in NEI 04-10, provides a way to establish risk-informed surveillance frequencies that complements the deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy. The surveillances themselves would remain in the TSs, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). This change is analogous with other NRG-approved TS changes in which the surveillance requirements are retained in TSs, but the related surveillance frequencies are relocated to licensee-controlled documents, such as surveillances performed in accordance with the In-Service Testing Program and the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Thus, this proposed change complies with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) by retaining the requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. The regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 50.65 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix 8, and the monitoring required by NEI 04-10, ensure that surveillance frequencies are sufficient to assure that the requirements of 1 O CFR 50.36 are satisfied and that any performance deficiencies will be identified and appropriate corrective actions taken. The licensee's SFCP ensures that surveillance requirements specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure the above regulatory requirements are met. Thus, this proposed change meets the first key safety principle of RG 1.177 by complying with current regulations. 3.1.2 Key Principle 2: The Proposed Change Is Consistent With the Defense-in-Depth Philosophy The defense-in-depth philosophy, the second key safety principle of RG 1.177, is maintained if:
- A reasonable balance is preserved among prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation.
- Over-reliance on programmatic activities to compensate for weaknesses in plant design is avoided.
- System redundancy, independence, and diversity are preserved commensurate with the expected frequency, consequences of challenges to the system, and uncertainties (e.g., no risk outliers). (Because the scope of the proposed methodology is limited to revision of surveillance frequencies, the redundancy, independence, and diversity of plant systems are not impacted.)
- Defenses against potential common cause failures are preserved, and the potential for the introduction of new common cause failure mechanisms is assessed.
- Independence of barriers is not degraded.
- Defenses against human errors are preserved.
- The intent of the General Design Criteria in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, is maintained. TSTF-425, Revision 3, requires the application of NEI 04-10 for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. NEI 04-10 uses both the CDF and the large early release frequency (LERF) metrics to evaluate the impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies. The guidance of RG 1.17 4 and RG 1.177 for changes to CDF and LERF is achieved by evaluation using a comprehensive risk analysis, which assesses the impact of proposed changes including contributions from human errors and common cause failures (CCFs). Defense-in-depth is also included in the methodology explicitly as a qualitative consideration outside of the risk analysis, as is the potential impact on detection of component degradation that could lead to an increased likelihood of CCFs. Both the quantitative risk analysis and the qualitative considerations assure a reasonable balance of defense-in-depth is maintained to ensure protection of public health and safety, satisfying the second key safety principle of RG 1.177. 3.1.3 Key Principle 3: The Proposed Change Maintains Sufficient Safety Margins The engineering evaluation that will be conducted by the licensee under the SFCP when frequencies are revised will assess the impact of the proposed frequency change to assure that sufficient safety margins are maintained. The guidelines used for making that assessment will include ensuring the proposed surveillance test frequency change is not in conflict with approved industry codes and standards or adversely affects any assumptions or inputs to the safety analysis, or, if such inputs are affected, justification is provided to ensure sufficient safety margin will continue to exist. The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria for SSCs, specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plant licensing basis (including the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and bases to TSs), since these are not affected by changes to the surveillance frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. Thus, safety margins are maintained by the proposed methodology, and the third key safety principle of RG 1.177 is satisfied. 3.1.4 Key Principle 4: When Proposed Changes Result in an Increase in CDF or Risk. the Increases Should Be Small and Consistent with the Intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement RG 1.177 provides a framework for evaluating the risk impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies which requires identification of the risk contribution from impacted surveillances, determination of the risk impact from the change to the proposed surveillance frequency, and performance of sensitivity and uncertainty evaluations. TSTF-425, Revision 3, requires application of NEI 04-10 in the SFCP. NEI 04-10 satisfies the intent of RG 1.177 guidance for evaluation of the change in risk, and for assuring that such changes are small by providing the technical methodology to support risk informed technical specifications for control of surveillance frequencies. 3.1.4.1 Quality of the PRA The quality of the MPS2 PRA must be commensurate with the safety significance of the proposed TS change and the role the PRA plays in justifying the change. That is, the higher change in risk or the greater the uncertainty in that risk from the requested TS change, or both, the more rigor that must go into ensuring the quality of the PRA. RG 1.200 provides regulatory guidance for assessing the technical adequacy of a PRA. Revision 2, the latest revision (Reference 7), of this RG endorses (with comments and qualifications) the use of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)/American Nuclear Society (ANS) RA-Sa-2009, "Addenda to ASME RA-S-2008 Standard for Level 1 /Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," (Reference 8), NEI 00-02, "PRA Peer Review Process Guidelines," (Reference 9) and NEI 05-04, "Process for Performing Follow-On PRA Peer Reviews Using the ASME PRA Standard" (Reference 10). Revision 1 of this RG had endorsed the internal events PRA standard ASME RA-Sb-2005, "Addenda to ASME RA-S-2002 Standard for Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," (Reference 11 ). For the internal events PRA, there are no significant technical differences in the standard requirements, and therefore assessments using the previously endorsed internal events standard are acceptable. The licensee has performed an assessment of the PRA models used to support the SFCP using the guidance of RG 1.200 to assure that the PRA models are capable of determining the change in risk due to changes to surveillance frequencies of SSCs, using plant-specific data and models. Capability category II of the standard is required by NEI 04-10 forthe internal events PRA, and any identified deficiencies to those requirements are assessed further to determine any impacts of proposed decreases to surveillance frequencies, including the use of sensitivity studies where appropriate. A formal Industry PRA peer review of the MPS2 internal events PRA model was performed in 2000. All findings and observations (F&Os) from this peer review have been addressed except for one significance level B F&O. In addition, the licensee performed self-assessments of the MPS2 internal events PRA in 2007 and 2011, using the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) PRA Standard, ASME RA-Sb-2005 and ASME/ANS [American Nuclear Society] RA-Sa-2009, respectively. The licensee also performed a focused scope peer review on the Human Reliability (HR), Large Early Release Frequency (LERF), and Internal Flooding (IF) Supporting Requirements (SRs) of the ASME/ANS Standard RA-Sa-2009. The licensee addressed the "gaps" between their internal events PRA model and the PRA standard from the self-assessment and the focused scope peer review, and provided them in Table 1 of the LAR. The staff's evaluation of the risk significant F&Os is summarized below. Gap #1 (2000) for Supporting Requirement AS-10/AS-18. The F&O cites the lack of modeling of makeup to the condenser when the steam dump valves fail. The licensee stated that they will perform a sensitivity study, until the F&O is resolved, by adding the steam dump valves as a required support system for the MFW [main feedwater] function. In its June 5, 2015 response to NRC staff RAI 1, regarding resolution of this F&O which remains unresolved after 15 years, the licensee stated that they will resolve the F&O at the next PRA model update. Considering that the steam dump valves are a low risk impact to the PRA and they do not impact the TSTF-425 program, the staff concludes that the sensitivity study for this F&O is acceptable for this application. Gap #2 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement IE-A8. The F&O notes that the interview with plant personnel for potential initiating events has been overlooked by the licensee. The licensee stated that this is a documentation issue and has no impact on the result due to the interviews with the systems personnel that concluded no new initiating events were required to be added to the PRA model. The licensee further stated that this SR will remain unmet until they perform interviews with the operation personnel, in accordance with their PRA procedure. In its June 5, 2015 response to RAI 2, the licensee stated "[a]n interview between their PRA staff and a former MPS2 operations shift manager was conducted to determine if the current MSPS2 PRA model overlooked potential initiating events." The licensee found that no further initiating events were required. The staff concludes that, the licensee can adequately implement the NEI 04-10 guidance because they have properly considered the pertinent personnel, consistent with the SR. Gap #3 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement AS-A?. The F&O is related to the licensee not considering the time of adverse Moderator Temperature Coefficient in Anticipated Transient Without Scram. The licensee also did not model loss of seal cooling, loss of alternating current, inadvertent opening of Power Operated Relief Valves, and safety relief valves in all event tree models; and the omission of operator action that fails to throttle Auxiliary Feedwater after power restoration following a Station Blackout (SBO). The licensee stated that all of the issues have been resolved except for power restoration following a SBO. Until the F&O is resolved, the licensee stated that they will perform a sensitivity study to model the restarts of required accident mitigation components. The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity study consistent with the NEI 04-10 guidance. Gap #4 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement AS-A 10. The F&O is related to the licensee not explaining how the differences in system requirements for each initiating event impact operator actions or system responses. The licensee stated that this F&O is a documentation issue and will not have any impact to the program. The licensee further stated that they will address this as a part of F&O HR-G4-01 (Gap #9). In its June 5, 2015 response to RAI 3, the licensee clarified that Gap #4 and Gap #9 do not have a direct relationship. The licensee further stated "the impact on operator actions or system responses ... has been adequately assessed in the MSP2 PRA model, but this process has not been adequately explained in the model documentation." The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application, because the technical requirement is resolved and the documentation issue will not impact the program. Gap #5 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement AS-C2. The F&O relates to the licensee not documenting the one-to-one correlation between each initiating event, the associated event tree, the system success criteria, and associated basis. The peer review team also found that the licensee did not discuss accident sequences pending resolution of issues associated with AS-A? (Gap #3) and the licensee did not clearly explain operator actions and associated dependencies on system success. The licensee agreed that the documentation regarding the F&O needed to be completed. Because the peer review team did not identify any modeling deficiencies as a result of the documentation issue, this F&O is expected to have no impact on the TSTF-425 program. Gap #6 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement SY-A4. The F&O relates to the lack of documentation to indicate that the interviews and walkdowns were performed. The licensee stated that system engineers were interviewed to partially address the SR and will conduct additional interviews with operations personnel and walkdowns to close this F&O. The staff concludes that the licensee has adequately dispositioned this F&O for this application since the interviews with the system engineers were completed and the licensee's PRA procedures now require interviews and walkdowns. Gap #7 (Self-Assessment) for Supporting Requirement SY-A21. The F&O stated that the supporting room heatup calculations are not well documented, and failure of electrical load shedding and excessive humidity conditions that could lead to loss of function are not addressed. The licensee stated that the room heatup calculations have been performed for the most risk significant rooms. The licensee also added the failure of load shedding to the electric power fault tree and the DC [direct current] switchgear room cooling is modeled for equipment requiring DC power after the initiating event occurs. The licensee will perform a sensitivity study by including the loss of DC switchgear room chillers following a Turbine Building High Energy Line Break. The staff concludes that, the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity study in accordance with NEI 04-10. Gap #8 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for Supporting Requirement HR-G3. The F&O identified the dependency factor and sigma sections of the Human Reliability Analysis calculator worksheets as not being properly filled out. The licensee has corrected the calculator worksheets in draft format and will perform a sensitivity study with the corrected Human Error Probabilities (HEPs) until the corrected files are entered into the worksheets. The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity study, with corrected dependency factors and sigma values for each of the affected HEPs, in accordance with NEI 04-10. Gap #9 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for SR HR-G4. The F&O noted that the HEP timing information for HRA event OAADV1 showed two different times associated with the event (30 minutes for General Transient and 11 minutes for Loss of Main Feedwater). The peer review team further stated that the licensee should use 11 minutes since it is limiting and the 30 minutes may be non-conservative. The licensee will keep this F&O open until the issue is addressed, and in its June 5, 2015 response to RAI 4, the licensee plans to perform a sensitivity study with a combination of corrected HEPs. The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because the sensitivity study on the HEPs will be performed in accordance with NEI 04-10. Gap #1 O (Focused Scope Peer Review) for SRs LE-C2 and LE-C7. The F&O described issues with the licensee's calculation of the Severe Accident Mitigation Guidelines (SAMGs) operator action HEPs for the Steam Generator Tube Rupture scenario and unaddressed operator actions in the containment isolation failure analysis. The licensee will perform a sensitivity study by realistically modeling the SAMG operator action to feed a dry steam generator and also remove credit for closing the containment spray and safety injection MOVs in the containment isolation analysis. The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform sensitivity analyses to address the issues with the SRs consistent with NEI 04-10. Gap #11 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for SR LE-F1. The F&O was created because the licensee did not provide a quantitative evaluation and identification of the dominant LERF contributors to LERF by plant damage states. The licensee stated the dominant LERF contributors to LERF need to be presented by plant damage states, which requires enhancements to CAFTA LERF model but will not have an impact to the LERF results. In its June 5, 2015 response to RAI 6, the licensee reviewed the LERF results and described the significant LERF contributors. The staff concludes that the licensee's identification and evaluation of the significant LERF contributors has considered significant contributors consistent with Table 2-2.8-9 and that LERF can be quantified for the application since plant damage states provides another way to represent LERF results. Gaps #12 and #13 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for SRs IFPP-A4, IFSN-A14, and IFSN-A16. These F&Os found that the licensee's assumption of 30 inches and two hours for non-water tight doors is potentially non-conservative, and does not reflect the as-operated plan configuration. The licensee plans to use the water height door failure criteria from EPRI Report 1019194 or criteria generated from door failure calculations to address the 30 inches issue. Until the F&O is resolved, the licensee will perform a sensitivity study by using water height door failure criteria from EPRI Report 1019194. The staff concludes that the licensee has adequately dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity analysis, on the door height, consistent with NEI 04-10. The two hour isolation criteria is addressed below. Gaps #13 and #15 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for SRs IFSN-A14, and IFSN-A16. These F&Os found that the licensee's qualitatively assumed a 2-hour isolation criteria for plant mitigative action, which requires justification to meet the SRs Capability Category II requirement. The licensee has revised the PRA procedure to better align with the criteria in the Standard and they plan to review the two hour isolation criteria against the revised procedure. The licensee further stated that if the appropriate justification is not provided, the model would be revised. Until the F&O is resolved, the licensee will perform a sensitivity study using the criteria in the revised PRA procedure. The staff concludes that the licensee has adequately dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity analysis, on the revised procedure, consistent with NEI 04-10. Gap #14 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for Supporting Requirement IFSN-A8. The peer review team found that the licensee did not identify inter-area flood propagation through areas connected via backflow through drain lines involving failed check valves and hatchways, which is explicitly defined in the PRA Standard. The licensee stated that they would perform a study to those pathways if new propagation or flood pathways were identified. In its June 5, 2015 response to RAI 7, the licensee conducted an investigation on inter-area propagation and identified that the scenarios are "bounded by currently modeled internal flood scenarios." The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because it made proper consideration of this potentially risk significant scenario by identifying inter-area propagation as described in the SR, and can adequately apply the TSTF-425 program. Gap #16 (Focused Scope Peer Review) for Supporting Requirement IFEV-A5. The F&O notes that the licensee's PRA model did not reflect the most recent pipe break frequencies. The licensee will include the latest available pipe rupture frequencies, found in EPRI Report 3002000079, and perform a sensitivity study using the latest available industry data in the EPRI Report. The staff concludes that the licensee has dispositioned this F&O for the application because they will perform a sensitivity analysis, with the latest available pipe rupture frequencies, consistent with NEI 04-10. Gap #17 (2009) for Supporting Requirement IFEV-A6. The F&O related to the use of only generic pipe rupture frequencies in the licensee's PRA model. The licensee stated, however, that it collected and considered plant specific information but found no adverse trends that required Bayesian updating of the generic pipe frequencies. Thus, the licensee characterized this as a documentation issue because the evaluation was not documented at the time of the peer review. The licensee stated that it will perform an analysis to confirm the results at the next PRA model update. The staff concludes that the licensee's review of plant specific information and impending model update to confirm the results of the original analysis is acceptable, and does not have an impact on the PRA model. Based on the licensee's assessment using the applicable PRA standard and RG 1.200, the staff concludes that the level of PRA quality, combined with the proposed evaluation and disposition of gaps, is sufficient to support the evaluation of changes proposed to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP, and is consistent with regulatory position 2.3.1 of RG 1.177. 3.1.4.2 Scope of the PRA The licensee is required to evaluate each proposed change to a relocated surveillance frequency using the guidance contained in NEI 04-10 to determine its potential impact on risk (CDF and LERF) from internal events, fires, seismic, other external events, and shutdown conditions. In cases where a PRA of sufficient scope or quantitative risk models were unavailable, the licensee uses bounding analyses, or other conservative quantitative evaluations. A qualitative screening analysis may be used when the surveillance frequency impact on plant risk is shown to be negligible or zero. MPS2 has a full-scope PRA model, whose full-power internal events and internal flood portions have received a peer review, self-assessments, and focused scope peer reviews as discussed previously. MPS2 does not have a PRA model for internal fire events, external events, and shutdown conditions. In accordance with NEI 04-10, the licensee will perform an initial qualitative screening analysis, and if the qualitative information is not sufficient, it will perform a bounding analysis. The bounding analysis will be performed in accordance with NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, Step 1 Ob, and it will be based on risk insights and analysis documented in the MPS2 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) report with consideration of the IPEEE accident sequences, as well as relevant operating experience and additional risk insights obtained since the IPEEE study, in the context of the current plant configuration and operation. The NRC staff finds this approach to be consistent with NEI 04-10, Step 10b guidance in performing a bounding analysis. The licensee's evaluation methodology is sufficient to ensure the scope of the risk contribution of each surveillance frequency change is properly identified for evaluation, and is consistent with regulatory position 2.3.2 of RG 1.177. 3.1.4.3 PRA Modeling The licensee's methodology includes the determination of whether the SSCs affected by a proposed change to a surveillance frequency are modeled in the PRA. Where the SSC is directly or implicitly modeled, a quantitative evaluation of the risk impact is performed. The methodology adjusts the failure probability of the impacted SSCs, including any impacted common cause failure modes, based on the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Where the SSC is not modeled in the PRA, bounding analyses are performed to characterize the impact of the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Potential impacts on the risk analyses due to screening criteria and truncation levels are addressed by the requirements for PRA technical adequacy consistent with guidance contained in RG 1.200, and by sensitivity studies identified in NEI 04-10. The licensee's approach for the evaluations of the impact of selected testing strategy (i.e., staggered testing or sequential testing) is consistent with the guidance of NUREG/CR-6141 and NUREG/CR-5497, as discussed in NEI 04-10. Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the MPS2 PRA modeling is sufficient to ensure an acceptable evaluation of risk for the proposed changes in surveillance frequency, and is consistent with regulatory position 2.3.3 of RG 1.177. 3.1.4.4 Assumptions for Time Related Failure Contributions The failure probabilities of SSCs modeled in PRAs may include a separate standby time-related contribution and a cyclic demand-related contribution. NEI 04-10 criteria adjust the time-related failure contribution of SSCs affected by the proposed change to surveillance frequency. This is consistent with RG 1.177 Section 2.3.3 which permits separation of the failure rate contributions into demand and standby for evaluation of surveillance requirements. If the available data do not support distinguishing between the time-related failures and demand failures, then the change to surveillance frequency is conservatively assumed to impact the total failure probability of the SSC, including both standby and demand contributions. The SSC failure rate (per unit time) is assumed to be unaffected by the change in test frequency, such that the failure probability is assumed to increase linearly with time, and will be confirmed by the required monitoring and feedback implemented after the change in surveillance frequency is implemented. The NEI 04-10 process requires consideration of qualitative sources of information with regards to potential impacts of test frequency on SSC performance, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, and code-specified test intervals. Thus the process is not reliant upon risk analyses as the sole basis for the proposed changes. The potential benefits of reduced surveillance frequency, including reduced downtime, lesser potential for restoration errors, reduction of potential for test caused transients, and reduced test-caused wear of equipment, are identified qualitatively, but not quantitatively assessed. Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the licensee has employed reasonable assumptions with regard to extensions of surveillance test intervals, and is consistent with regulatory position 2.3.4 of RG 1.177. 3.1.4.5 Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analyses NEI 04-10 requires sensitivity studies to assess the impact of uncertainties from key assumptions of the PRA, uncertainty in the failure probabilities of the affected SSCs, impact on the frequency of initiating events, and any identified deviations from capability category II of the PRA standard. Where the sensitivity analyses identify a potential impact on the proposed change, revised surveillance frequencies are considered, along with any qualitative considerations that may bear on the results of such sensitivity studies. Required monitoring and feedback of SSC performance once the revised surveillance frequencies are implemented will also be performed. Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the licensee has appropriately considered the possible impact of PRA model uncertainty and sensitivity to key assumptions and model limitations, and is consistent with regulatory position 2.3.5 of RG 1.177. 3.1.4.6 Acceptance Guidelines The licensee will quantitatively evaluate the change in total risk (including internal and external events contributions) in terms of CDF and LERF for both the individual risk impact of a proposed change in surveillance frequency and the cumulative impact from all individual changes to surveillance frequencies using the guidance contained in NRC approved NEI 04-10 in accordance with the TS SFCP. Each individual change to surveillance frequency must show a risk impact below 1 E-6 per year for change to CDF, and below 1 E-7 per year for change to LERF. These are consistent with the acceptance criteria of RG 1.17 4 for very small changes in risk. Where the RG 1.17 4 acceptance criteria are not met, the process either considers revised surveillance frequencies which are consistent with RG 1.17 4 or the process terminates without permitting the proposed changes. Where quantitative results are unavailable for comparison with the acceptance guidelines, appropriate qualitative analyses are required to demonstrate that the associated risk impact of a proposed change to surveillance frequency is negligible. Otherwise, bounding quantitative analyses are required which demonstrate the risk impact is at least one order of magnitude lower than the RG 1.17 4 acceptance guidelines for very small changes in risk. In addition to assessing each individual SSC surveillance frequency change, the cumulative impact of all changes must result in a risk impact less than 1 E-5 per year for change to CDF, and less than 1 E-6 per year for change to LERF, and the total CDF and total LERF must be reasonably shown to be less than 1 E-4 per year and 1 E-5 per year, respectively. These are consistent with the acceptance criteria of RG 1.17 4, as referenced by RG 1.177 for changes to surveillance frequencies. The staff further notes that the licensee includes a provision to exclude the contribution to cumulative risk from individual changes to surveillance frequencies associated with insignificant risk increases (less than 5E-8 CDF and 5E-9 LERF) once the baseline PRA models are updated to include the effects of the revised surveillance frequencies. The quantitative acceptance guidance of RG 1.174 is supplemented by qualitative information to evaluate the proposed changes to surveillance frequencies, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, the results of sensitivity studies, and SSC performance data and test history. The final acceptability of the proposed change is based on all of these considerations and not solely on the PRA results. Post implementation performance monitoring and feedback are also required to assure continued reliability of the SSC's. The licensee's application of NEI 04-10 provides acceptable methods for evaluating the risk increase associated with proposed changes to surveillance frequencies, consistent with Regulatory Position 2.4 of RG 1.177. Therefore, the proposed methodology satisfies the fourth key safety principle of RG 1.177 by assuring any increase in risk is small consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement. 3.1.5 Key Principle 5: The Impact of the Proposed Change Should Be Monitored Using Performance Measurement Strategies The licensee's adoption of TSTF-425 requires application of NEI 04-10 in the SFCP. NEI 04-10 requires performance monitoring of SSCs whose surveillance frequency has been revised as part of a feedback process to assure that the change in test frequency has not resulted in degradation of equipment performance and operational safety. The monitoring and feedback includes consideration of maintenance rule monitoring of equipment performance. In the event of degradation of SSC performance, the surveillance frequency will be reassessed in accordance with the methodology, in addition to any corrective actions which may apply as part of the maintenance rule requirements. The performance monitoring and feedback specified in NEI 04-10 is sufficient to reasonably assure acceptable SSC performance and is consistent with regulatory position 3.2 of RG 1.177. Thus, the fifth key safety principle of RG 1.177 is satisfied. 3.2 Addition of Surveillance Frequency Control Program to Administrative Controls The licensee has included the SFCP and specific requirements into the Administrative Controls, TS Section 6.29, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, as follows: This program provides controls for Surveillance Frequencies. The program shall ensure that Surveillance Requirements specified in the Technical Specifications are performed at intervals sufficient to assure that the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation are met. a. The Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall contain a list of Frequencies of the Surveillance Requirements for which the Frequency is controlled by the program. b. Changes to the Frequencies listed in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, "Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," Revision 1. c. The provisions of Surveillance Requirements 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 are applicable to the Frequencies established in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The proposed program is consistent with the model application of TSTF-425, and is therefore acceptable. 3.3 Minor Clarification Change to Surveillance Requirements The licensee proposed to insert the word "required" to surveillance requirements 4.1.3.3, 4.3.1.1.1, 4.3.2.1.1, 4.3.3.1.1, 4.3.3.5, and 4.3.3.8. The licensee responded to the staff's request for additional information concerning the proposed changes via letter dated July 20, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15205A341 ). According to the licensee, the addition of the word to the surveillance requirements is" ... for clarification purposes only." The licensee further explained that: "The limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) associated with each of these SRs specify a minimum number of channels required to be operable in applicable modes of operation. Under certain conditions or modes, the LCOs allow less than the total number of channels to be operable (e.g., 2 out of 4 channels). As currently written, these SRs may be misleading since they imply that all channels are required to be demonstrated operable." This clarification is outside the scope of TSTF-425, Revision 3; however, using the SRP guidance, the staff has determined that the licensee's reasoning for the change is correct and that the changes are an acceptable clarification change to the language of the surveillance requirements. Therefore, including the change to the surveillance requirements continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). 3.4 Summary and Conclusions The staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed relocation of some surveillance frequencies to a licensee controlled document, and controlling changes to surveillance frequencies in accordance with a new program, the SFCP, identified in the administrative controls of the TS. The SFCP and TS Section 6.29 references NEI 04-10, which provides a risk-informed methodology using plant-specific risk insights and performance data to revise surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. This methodology supports relocating surveillance frequencies from TS to a licensee-controlled document, provided that those frequencies are changed in accordance with NEI 04-10, which is specified in the Administrative Controls of the TS. The licensee's proposed adoption of TSTF-425 and risk-informed methodology of NEI 04-10 as referenced in the Administrative Controls of the TS, satisfies the key principles of risk-informed decision making applied to changes to the TS as delineated in RG 1.177 and RG 1.17 4, in that:
- The proposed change meets current regulations;
- The proposed change is consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy;
- The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins;
- Increases in risk resulting from the proposed change are small and consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement; and
- The impact of the proposed change is monitored with performance measurement strategies. Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR discusses the categories that will be included in TSs. Paragraph 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR discusses the specific category of Surveillance Requirements and states, "Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." The NRC staff finds that with the proposed relocation of surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled document and administratively controlled in accordance with the TS SFCP, the licensee continues to meet 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).
