1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated November 5, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 1531 OA064), Exelon Generation
- Company, LLC (the licensee) requested an amendment to the facility operating licenses for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (CCNPP),
to revise the technical specifications (TSs) to relocate surveillance requirement (SR) frequencies to the previously approved surveillance frequency control program (SFCP). The license amendment request (LAR) proposed changes to TSs 3.4.6, 3.4.7, 3.4.8, 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.9.4, and 3.9.5. These TSs are covered in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523, Revision 2 (TSTF-523)
"Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13053A075) dated February 21, 2013. The proposed changes would relocate the SR frequency to the previously approved licensee-controlled SFCP. The NRC issued amendments that implemented TSTF-523 into the CCNPP TSs by letter dated July 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15161A380).
The NRC issued amendments to relocate specific surveillance frequencies to the licensee-controlled SFCP by letter dated August 17, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15211A005).
The proposed changes would revise the SR frequencies related to gas accumulation included in TSTF-523 from the current 31-day frequency to a frequency in accordance with the SFCP. The proposed chaoge would relocate these SR frequencies from the TSs to the licensee-controlled SFCP. Enclosure 3 2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION 2.1 Regulatory Requirements The regulatory requirements and guidance documents that the NRC staff used in their review of the application are listed below:
- In Section 50.36 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 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) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.
2.2 Regulatory Guidance
- NUREG-1432, Revision 4.0, "Standard Technical Specifications, Combustion Engineering Plants,"
Revision 4.0, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML 12102A165 and ML 12102A169).
- Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control -RITSTF [Risk-Informed TSTF] Initiative 5b" (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642).
The Federal Register notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), announced the availability of TSTF-425, Revision
- 3.
- Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523, Revision 2 "Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation,"
model safety evaluation (SE) dated December 23, 2013. The Federal Register noticed published on January 15, 2014 (79 FR 2700) announced the availability of TSTF-523, Revision
- 2. 3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION 3.1 Background By letter dated July 30, 2015, the NRC issued license amendments that revised the CCNPP TSs by implementing TSTF-523.
These amendments added new SRs related to gas accumulation for the shutdown cooling system, the emergency core cooling system, and the containment spray system to the CCNPP TSs. In accordance with the model SE for TSTF-523, the new SR frequencies were set at a 31-day interval.
By letter dated August 17, 2015, the NRC issued license amendments that revised the CCNPP TSs by implementing TSTF-425.
These amendments revised the CCNPP TSs to require that changes to specific SR frequencies be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision
- 1. These amendments incorporated NRG-approved TSTF-425 into the license.
In addition, these amendments added the SFCP to Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls,"
Subsection 5.5, "Programs and Manuals."
3.2 Licensee's Proposed Changes In its LAR dated November 5, 2015, the licensee proposed moving the following SR frequencies to the licensee-controlled SFCP: SR Current SR Frequency Proposed SR Frequency 3.4.6.4 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.4.7.4 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.4.8.3 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.5.2.10 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.6.6.9 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.9.4.2 31 days In accordance with the SFCP 3.9.5.4 31 days In accordance with the SFCP At the time the TSTF-523 amendment was issued, the licensee did not have an approved SFCP. Therefore, a 31-day SR frequency was established for the SRs listed in the table above. Since then, the NRC issued the amendment incorporating TSTF-425 into the license, thereby allowing the licensee to establish an SFCP in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision
- 1. 3.3 NRC Staff Evaluation As noted in the discussion above, the licensee previously received license amendments that incorporated the SRs listed in TSTF-523 and the SFCP from TSTF-425 into the CCNPP facility operating licenses.
Both of these license amendments were previously reviewed and approved by the NRC staff. The previous staff reviews for the amendments established that addition of the SRs in TSTF-523 met the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 because the changes provided assurance that the necessary quality of systems and components will be maintained and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met, and therefore, were acceptable to the staff. In addition, the previous staff reviews found that the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models are of sufficient technical adequacy and that the licensee satisfied the key principles of risk-informed decisionmaking to support the licensee's SFCP. The staff previously determined that the relocation of certain surveillance frequencies to the SFCP allowed the licensee to continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36. Based on these previous
- reviews, the NRC staff does not need to review the technical adequacy of the licensee's PRA or the SRs shown above, as the licensee has not proposed any changes to its PRA or to the other parts of the SRs. Section 1.0, "Introduction,"
of the model SE for TSTF-523, states that licensees with an SFCP have the option to set the SR frequencies,
" ... in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program .... " In addition, the licensee has not proposed any optional changes or deviations to either of the previously approved amendments.
The licensee did not have an approved SFCP at the time the TSTF-523 amendment was approved for CCNPP. However, with the incorporation of TSTF-425 into the license for CCNPP, which allowed the licensee to establish an SFCP, the licensee meets the requirements in the model SE for TSTF-523 to set the SR frequencies in accordance with the SFCP. Therefore, the changes to the SR frequencies proposed by the licensee are in accordance with both TSTF-425 and TSTF-523 and are approved.
3.4 Technical Evaluation Conclusions The NRC staff has found that the changes described above are in accordance with both TSTF-425 and TSTF-523; in addition, the changes satisfy the criteria for TSs in 10 CFR 50.36. Therefore, the NRC staff has concluded that the changes to the SR frequencies for the SRs described above are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Maryland State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments.
The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendments change a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes SRs. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released
- offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2016 (81 FR 261 ). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
