ENCLOSURE 1 WBN Unit 2 FSAR A105 Summary Listing of A105 FSAR Changes" E1-1 Item No. Change Area Change Description Change Package Number 1. Section 4.3.2.7 Insert the following paragraph

WBN conforms fully with the criteria of 10 CFR 50.68(b)(6). There are five radiation monitors located on elevation 757 of the Auxiliary Building in the vicinity of the new fuel vault and the

spent fuel pool. Two of the monitors, 1-RE-90-1 and 2-RE-90-1, are area monitors that alert personnel in the vicinity of the fuel storage areas of excessive radiation for personnel protection

and to initiate safety actions. These monitors also alarm in the main control room to alert the operators to initiate appropriate safety actions. There are two additional area radiation monitors, 0-RE-90-102 and 0-RE-90-103, that are located at the spent fuel pool to provide a more rapid response to a fuel handling

accident, the presence of excessive radiation, or the presence of a fuel bundle with inadequate water shielding. These monitors alarm in the main control room and also isolate the normal Auxiliary Building ventilation system to reduce the release of radioactivity offsite. These monitors will also isolate the containment ventilation system if the containment or annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building during refueling operations. The fifth radiation monitor in the spent and new fuel area is a particulate air monitor. This monitor alarms locally for protection

of personnel in the vicinity of the monitor and also serves to alert the plant staff of an excessive radiation condition that requires action. 2-105-01 2. Table 6.2.6-3 Remove the phrase, "as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J," in Note 3. 2-105-02 ENCLOSURE 1 WBN Unit 2 FSAR A105 Summary Listing of A105 FSAR Changes" E1-2 Item No. Change Area Change Description Change Package Number 3. Section 11.2 1. On Page 11.2-19, modify Section 11.2.6.5.1 to read as follows (changes are bolded and underlined):

11.2.6.5.1 Expected Normal Plant Operation

The expected plant alignment and resultant releases are as follows: CVCS letdown waste processed by the CVCS demineralizers and then by the mobile demineralizer.

The reactor coolant drain tank, the tritiated drain collector tank, and the floor drain collector tank discharges and processed using the mobile demineralizer.

Liquid releases from the L aundry and Hot Shower Drain Tank and the Turbine Building drains can be released without processing by mobile demineralizer.

Steam Generator Blowdown is released without processing.

The condensate demineralizers are bypassed. Thus there is no condensate demineralizer regeneration waste to be processed.

2. On Page 11.2-20, modify Section 11.2.6.5.2 to read as follows: 11.2.6.5.2 Other Plant Alignment Evaluations

The values in Table 11.2-5 Column 4 assume the following:

CVCS letdown waste processed by the CVCS demineralizers and then by the mobile demineralizer.

The reactor coolant drain tank, the tritiated drain collector tank, and the floor drain collector tank discharges and processed using the mobile demineralizer.

Activity from Condensate Demineralizer waste due to the processing of condensate and steam generator blowdown

is routed directly to the Cooling Tower Blowdown or the turbine building sump.

Liquid releases from the L aundry and Hot Shower Drain Tank and the Turbine Building drains were released without processing by mobile demineralizer.

Section 12.3.1 Insert the following text at the end of Section 12.3.1, but before heading for Section 12.3.2, "Shielding." "Integration of Unit 2 for Dual Unit Operation

The following section supplements the above discussion (written primarily for one unit operation) with the integration of Unit 2 operation for dual unit operation:

Controlled Access Areas The Unit 2 controlled access area will be common with the Unit 1 controlled access area. This facility is located in the Service Building and is sized and situated properly to support two operating units.

Personnel and Equipment Decontamination

The Unit 2 personnel and equipment decontamination facilities will be common areas shared with the Unit 1 personnel and equipment decontamination facilities. The personnel decontamination facility is located in the Service Building and is sized and situated properly to support two operating units. The equipment decontamination facility is located in the Auxiliary Building and is sized and situated properly to support two operating units.

Contamination Control Areas The primary Unit 2 contamination control area (i.e., radiologically controlled area [RCA] exit personnel monitoring station) will be a common area shared with the Unit 1 contamination control areas. This facility is located in the Service Building adjacent to the Auxiliary Building common entrance/exit point. This RCA exit point is equipped with personnel contamination monitors (PCMs), personnel gamma monitors, and tool and equipment monitors. PCMs are also provided at common locations inside the Auxiliary Building (i.e., 676', 713, and 757' elevations) for prompt personnel contamination monitoring when personnel exit contaminated areas. Frisker stations are also set up at remote exit points from the RCA when the use of PCMs is not

practicable. Remote exit points are used only after prior approval by Radiation Protection and in the event of an emergency.

Section 12.3.1 Protective clothing laundry services are provided offsite by a contractor. Soiled protective clothing is temporarily stored onsite in designated containers until ready for shipment offsite. Laundered protective clothing retu rned from the laundry contractor is received at the plant Power Stores loading dock and temporarily stored in a room adjacent to the loading dock until issued for use. This facility is located in the Service Building and is sized and situated properly to support two operating units. Hot machine shop type activities are not normally performed onsite. Instead, radioactive materials requiring machine shop support are normally sent to either the TVA Western Area Radiological Laboratory or to a contractor

licensed to receive radioactive material. If machining is performed onsite, a temporary RCA is set up in the clean area machine shop and controlled by Radiation Protection.

Contamination control barriers, containments, or tents, as appropriate, are used to prevent the spread of contamination and airborne radioactivity. Storage facilities are established in the Auxiliary Building and the Service Building to maintain a central location for the inventory of standard portable decontamination equipment and sup plies (i.e., high energy particulate air [HEPA] vacuums, HEPA ventilation units, pressure washers, spray wands, mops, etc.) that may be used during the normal decontamination and control of radioactive contamination in the plant. These facilities are sized and situated properly to support two operating units.

In Plant Traffic Patterns to Radiologically Controlled Areas The Unit 2 in plant traffic patterns to RCAs will be virtually the mirror image of the Unit 1 in plant traffic patterns to RCAs. Access to Unit 1 and Unit 2 RCAs will share common corridors at each elevation of the Auxiliary Building. Common areas are sized and situated properly to support two operating units. Access to satellite Unit 2 RCAs (i.e., outside tanks) will be controlled in the same manner as Unit 1.

These facilities and offices are located in the Training Center (dosimetry issue and maintenance, and in-vivo and in-vitro bioassay), Service Building (respiratory protection issue and maintenance, protective clothing and radiation survey instrument issue), and Office Building (RPM and technical staff office/work space). These facilities are sized and situated properly to support two operating units.

Onsite Laboratory for Analysis of Chemical and Radiological Samples The Unit 2 onsite laboratory for analysis of chemical and radiological samples will be common with the Unit 1 onsite laboratory for analysis of chemical and radiological samples.

These facilities are located in the Auxiliary Building and the Service Building and are sized and situated properly to support two operating units.

Radiological Counting Room

The Unit 2 radiological counting room will be common with the Unit 1 radiological counting room. This facility is located in the Service Building and is sized and situated properly to support

two operating units." 2-105-04 ENCLOSURE 1 WBN Unit 2 FSAR A105 Summary Listing of A105 FSAR Changes" E1-7 Item No. Change Area Change Description Change Package Number 5. 12.4 On Page 12.4-2, insert prior to the Reference section, the following new section:

Unit 2 Dose Assessment

Watts Bar Unit 2 operation and maintenance is expected to be virtually the same as that experienced in the operation and maintenance of Watts Bar Unit 1, including the radiation source term. Historic exposures for Watts Bar Unit 1 are provided in NUREG-0713, Volume 29, beginning in 1997 until 2007. The annual collective dose (person-rem) for this time frame ranged from a low of 3.106 person-rem to a high of 322.682 person-

rem. The high collective dose of 322.682 person-rem occurred in 2006 at which time all four Unit 1 steam generators were replaced. Steam generator re placement and the resultant collective dose is not typica l of normal operation and maintenance activities, thus is treated as special maintenance and not included in the proposed Watts Bar Unit 2 exposure

estimate. (Steam generator repla cement activities contributed to approximately 180 person-rem of the 322.682 person-rem for that year.) The proposed annual collective dose was determined by averaging the annual dose (less the steam generator replacement dose). This yields an average annual dose estimate of [(113 + 3.106 + 98.946 + 122.453 + 5.912 +

93.598 + 165.741 + 5.893 + 143.506 + (322.682-180) + 4.414)/11)] = 81.75 person-rem. Additionally, the collective doses for years 2008 and 2009 show a continuing downward trend towards dose reduction.

In 1985, as documented in Reference 1, TVA formally requested an exemption from cold no-flow, cold full-flow, and hot no-flow rod drop testing for WBN Unit 1. The NRC reviewed and approved this request as shown in the following excerpt from Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SSER) 5 (Reference 3 below):

Cold No-Flow, Cold Full-Flow, and Hot No-Flow Rod Drop Testing

By letter dated February 13, 1985, the applicant requested a deviation from RG 1.68, Revision 2, which would allow the removal of rod drop timing tests at cold no-flow, cold full-flow, and hot no-flow conditions from the Watts Bar Initial Test Program. In support of this request, the applicant stated that scram capability is only required for the hot full-flow conditions by the Watts Bar Technical Specifications, except when exempted by Special Test Exemption 3.10.4. The staff has reviewed the February 13, 1985, submittal, concurs with its contents, and finds the deviation acceptable on the basis of the following:

(1) There is nothing new or unique in the design of the Watts Bar control rod system.

(2) Scram capability is only required for hot full-flow conditions.

(3) The deviation is consistent with a similar one allowed for the Initial Test Program at the Callaway Nuclear Plant, Unit 1.

Therefore, the staff approves the deviation and has determined that the applicant does not have to perform cold no-flow, cold full-flow, and hot no-flow rod drop testing at the Watts Bar

Nuclear Plant, Unit 1.

As a result of NRC approval, TVA subsequently submitted FSAR Amendment 56 (Reference 2 below) to incorporate this deviation into Chapter 14, Initial Test Program. In 2007, in the initial phases of Unit 2 completion, as stated in Reference 4, TVA initially did not intend to request a similar deviation for WBN Unit 2 for this item. However, based upon further review of the request granted for Unit 1, TVA has determined that it would pursue this request for Unit 2.

Justification for Request The Unit 1 justification for this request was provided in February 13, 1985 letter (Reference 1 below). Provided in the following is a point-by-point discussion of the Unit 1 justifications as documented in Reference 1 and their applicability to Unit 2:

Justification 1:

Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2, Appendix A, section 2.b, states To the extent practical, testing should demonstrate control rod scram times. . .as required to bound conditions under which scram might be required. It is our position that hot full-flow rod drop testing fully meets these conditions of the Regulatory Guide.

Unit 2 Applicability: TVAs position remains unchanged and also applies to Unit 2.

E5-1 Justification 2:

Scram capability is required whenever the reactor is critical, i.e., Modes 1 and 2. Watts Bar TS 3.1.1.4 requires the reactor coolant system operating loop temperature (T AVG) to be greater than or equal to 551ºF in Modes 1 and 2. Specification 3.4.1.1 requires that all reactor coolant loops be in operation in Modes 1 and 2 except when exempted by Special Test Exemption 3.10.4. From these two specifications, it can be seen that hot full-flow rod drop testing would bound the conditions present for a critical reactor (Modes 1 and 2).

Unit 2 Applicability: The operating loop temperature, Tavg for Unit 2, will be the same as for Unit 1, with the Original Steam Generators (OSG), as required by LCO 3.4.2, RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality. Condition A of LCO 3.4.2 requires the unit to be placed into Mode 3 if Tavg, in one or more RCS loops, is not within limit. Therefore, the hot full-flow rod drop testing would also bound the Unit 2 conditions present for a critical reactor in Modes 1 and 2.

Justification 3:

Scram capability is also required in the event of an uncontrolled rod cluster control assembly bank withdrawal from a subcritical condition. As discussed in the Watts Bar FSAR Section 15.2.1.2, hot zero power conditions (Mode 2) are the most conservative for this event. Thus, this transient condition is bounded by hot, full-flow rod drop testing conditions.

Unit 2 Applicability: This position remains unchanged and also applies to Unit 2.

Justification 4:

Additional justification for exemption from hot, no-flow rod drop testing is obtained from the

analysis rod drop test data for Sequoyah Unit 2 (provided in Reference 1). The rod drop times indicate that in all cases the hot, full-flow rod drop times were longer (more conservative) than the hot, no-flow rod drop times.

Unit 2 Applicability: This position remains unchanged and also applies to WBN Unit 2.

Justification 5:

Exemption from cold, no-flow, cold, full-flow, and hot, no-flow rod drop testing would be economically beneficial to Watts Bar. As each rod drop test requires at least one shift to complete, a significant amount of critical path work would be eliminated from the plant startup schedule. This is allowed by the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2, which requires testing To the extent practical. . . . TVA does not believe it obtains a practical benefit from the performance of these rod drop tests, as the hot full-flow rod drop test bounds the conditions necessary for scram capability. Consequently, TVA believes that exemption from all but hot, full-flow rod drop testing will still meet the requirements of

Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2. The Watts Bar TS and FSAR ensure that the conditions requiring scram are bounded by hot, full-flow rod drop testing conditions.

Unit 2 Applicability: This position remains unchanged and also applies to Unit 2.

E5-1

Conclusion:

Therefore, based on the evaluation above, TVA requests the same deviation for Unit 2 as was approved for Unit 1 from the cold no-flow, cold full-flow, and hot no-flow rod drop testing

requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2.
