NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2011-0187]

Biweekly Notice Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards Considerations

Background

Pursuant to Section 189a. (2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission or NRC) is publishing this regular biweekly notice. The Act requires the Commission publish notice of any amendments issued, or proposed to be issued and grants the Commission the authority to issue and make immediately effective any amendment to an operating license upon a determination by the Commission that such amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, notwithstanding the pendency before the Commission of a request for a hearing from any person.

This biweekly notice includes all notices of amendments issued, or proposed to be issued from July 28, 2011, to August 10, 2011. The last biweekly notice was published on August 9, 2011 (76 FR 48908).

NRC-2011-0187.

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses, Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, and Opportunity for a Hearing The Commission has made a proposed determination that the following amendment requests involve no significant hazards consideration. Under the Commissions regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The basis for this proposed determination for each amendment request is shown below.

The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determination.

Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The Commission may issue the license amendment before expiration of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration. In addition, the Commission may issue the amendment prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period should

4 circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example in derating or shutdown of the facility. Should the Commission take action prior to the expiration of either the comment period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice of issuance. Should the Commission make a final No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, any hearing will take place after issuance. The Commission expects that the need to take this action will occur very infrequently.

Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any person(s) whose interest may be affected by this action may file a request for a hearing and a petition to intervene with respect to issuance of the amendment to the subject facility operating license. Requests for a hearing and a petition for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the Commissions Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2. Interested person(s) should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is available at the NRCs PDR, located at One White Flint North, Room O1-F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20852. NRC regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Library on the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene is filed by the above date, the Commission or a presiding officer designated by the Commission or by the Chief Administrative Judge of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, will rule on the request and/or petition; and the Secretary or the Chief Administrative Judge of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of a hearing or an appropriate order.

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding. The petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following general

5 requirements: 1) the name, address, and telephone number of the requestor or petitioner;

2) the nature of the requestors/petitioners right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; 3) the nature and extent of the requestors/petitioners property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and 4) the possible effect of any decision or order which may be entered in the proceeding on the requestors/petitioners interest. The petition must also identify the specific contentions which the requestor/petitioner seeks to have litigated at the proceeding.

Each contention must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted. In addition, the requestor/petitioner shall provide a brief explanation of the bases for the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion which support the contention and on which the requestor/petitioner intends to rely in proving the contention at the hearing. The requestor/petitioner must also provide references to those specific sources and documents of which the petitioner is aware and on which the requestor/petitioner intends to rely to establish those facts or expert opinion. The petition must include sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact. Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the amendment under consideration. The contention must be one which, if proven, would entitle the requestor/petitioner to relief. A requestor/petitioner who fails to satisfy these requirements with respect to at least one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing.

If a hearing is requested, the Commission will make a final determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration. The final determination will serve to decide when the hearing is held. If the final determination is that the amendment request involves no significant

6 hazards consideration, the Commission may issue the amendment and make it immediately effective, notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing held would take place after issuance of the amendment. If the final determination is that the amendment request involves a significant hazards consideration, any hearing held would take place before the issuance of any amendment.

All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion or other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139, August 28, 2007). The E-Filing process requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some cases to mail copies on electronic storage media. Participants may not submit paper copies of their filings unless they seek an exemption in accordance with the procedures described below.

To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone at 301-415-1677, to request (1) a digital identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a request or petition for hearing (even in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.

7 Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/apply-certificates.html. System requirements for accessing the E-Submittal server are detailed in NRCs Guidance for Electronic Submission, which is available on the agencys public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should note that the NRCs E-Filing system does not support unlisted software, and the NRC Meta System Help Desk will not be able to offer assistance in using unlisted software.

If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the document using the NRCs online, Web-based submission form. In order to serve documents through the Electronic Information Exchange System, users will be required to install a Web browser plug-in from the NRC Web site. Further information on the Web-based submission form, including the installation of the Web browser plug-in, is available on the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.

Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene.

Submissions should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance available on the NRC public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the documents are submitted through the NRCs E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends the submitter an e-mail notice confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an e-mail notice that provides access to the document to the NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the

8 Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system.

A person filing electronically using the agencys adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System Help Desk through the Contact Us link located on the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by e-mail at MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-7640. The NRC Meta System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.

Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format.

Such filings must be submitted by: (1) first class mail addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention:

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants filing a document in this manner are responsible for serving the document on all other participants.

Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the provider of the service. A presiding officer, having granted an exemption request from using

9 E-Filing, may require a participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no longer exists.

Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at http://ehd1.nrc.gov/EHD/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, home addresses, or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted materials in their submission.

Petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. Non-timely filings will not be entertained absent a determination by the presiding officer that the petition or request should be granted or the contentions should be admitted, based on a balancing of the factors specified in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii).

10 Entergy Operations, Inc., Docket No. 50-382, Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana Date of amendment request: April 13, 2011.

Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would modify the Technical Specifications (TSs) as a result of a revised Fuel Handling Accident analysis. The new analysis determined that the current TSs may not be conservative for all scenarios. The proposed amendment would provide new applicability and/or action language in the TSs that includes load movements over irradiated fuel assemblies. Specifically, the amendment would modify the following TSs: TS 3.3.3.1 (Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation); TS 3.7.6.1 (Control Room Emergency Air Filtration System); TS 3.7.6.3 (Control Room Air Temperature - Operating); TS 3.7.6.4 (Control Room Air Temperature - Shutdown); TS 3.8.1.2 (A.C. [Alternating Current]

Sources - Shutdown); TS 3.8.2.2 (DC Sources [Direct Current] - Shutdown); TS 3.8.3.2 (On Site Power Distribution - Shutdown); TS 3.9.3 (Decay Time); TS 3.9.4 (Containment Building Penetrations); and TS 3.9.7 (Crane Travel - Fuel Handling Building).

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

This proposed change revises Technical Specifications applicability wording regarding the movement of fuel assemblies in containment and the fuel storage pool to include load movements over irradiated fuel assemblies. The proposed applicability is more comprehensive than the current Applicability. This change was driven by an analysis change and was not due to fuel handling equipment or fuel movement methods.

11 Expanding the applicability of the relevant Technical Specifications is necessary to account for updated fuel drop analyses which demonstrate that the impacted spent fuel assemblies may be damaged.

Consequently, dropping of a non-irradiated fuel assembly, dummy fuel assembly, or other load could result in a Fuel Handling Accident that has radiological consequences. Changing the applicability of the relevant Technical Specifications does not affect the probability of a Fuel Handling Accident. The expanded applicability provides assurance that equipment designed to mitigate a Fuel Handling Accident is capable of performing its specified safety function.

The dose consequences due to failure of two assemblies remain within the Regulatory Guide 1.183 and 10 CFR 50.67 acceptance criteria limits.

The Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB), Low Population Zone (LPZ), and Main Control Room (MCR) dose results and associated regulatory limits are presented below.

Regulatory Guide 10 CFR 50.67 New Analysis 1.183 Limit Limit EAB 4.56 rem TEDE <6.3 rem TEDE <25 rem TEDE LPZ 0.70 rem TEDE <6.3 rem TEDE <25 rem TEDE MCR 0.824 rem TEDE <5 rem TEDE <5 rem TEDE Consequently, this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The revised spent fuel handling analyses demonstrate that the impacted fuel assemblies may be damaged as the result of a dropped fuel assembly, dummy assembly, or load. The existing Technical Specifications regarding movement of fuel assemblies are not applicable for movement of non-irradiated fuel assemblies or other loads. A drop of these loads could cause radiological consequences during periods when the equipment required to mitigate those consequences is not required to be OPERABLE in accordance with the existing Technical Specifications.

The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications applicability language regarding the movement of these loads in containment and the fuel storage pool ensure that Limiting Conditions of Operation and appropriate Required Actions for required equipment are in effect during fuel movement. This provides assurance that the Fuel Handling Accident will remain within the initial assumptions of accident analyses.

12 Consequently, there is no possibility of a new or different kind of accident due to this change.

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed Technical Specifications change will not affect protection criterion for plant equipment and will not reduce the margin of safety. By extending the Applicability to the movement of non-irradiated fuel assemblies, the current margin of safety is maintained.

Consequently, there is no significant reduction in a margin of safety due to this change.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

STP Nuclear Operating Company, Docket Nos. 50-498 and 50-499, South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, Matagorda County, Texas Date of amendment request: June 2, 2011, as supplemented by letter dated August 1, 2011.

Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would approve revision to the South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2, Fire Protection Program related to the alternate shutdown capability. Specifically, STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) proposes to credit the following manual operator actions in the control room prior to evacuation due to a fire for meeting the alternate shutdown capability:

13

• Main steam line isolation

• Closing the pressurizer power-operated relief valves block valves

• Securing all reactor coolant pumps

• Feedwater isolation

• Securing the startup feedwater pump

• Letdown isolation

• Securing the charging pumps In addition, STPNOC proposes to credit the automatic trip of the main turbine upon the initiation of a manual reactor trip for meeting the alternate shutdown capability. A thermal-hydraulic analysis will demonstrate that these operations will ensure that the reactor coolant system (RCS) process variables remain within those values predicted for a loss of normal alternating current (a-c) power, as required by Section III.L.1 of Appendix R of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The design function of structures, systems and component are not impacted by the proposed change. The proposed change involves crediting operations in the control room prior to evacuation in the event of a fire in order to meet safe shutdown performance criteria. The proposed action will not initiate an event. The proposed actions do not increase the probability of occurrence of a fire or any other accident previously evaluated.

14 The proposed operations are feasible and reliable and demonstrate that the unit can be safely shutdown in the event of a fire. No significant consequences result from the performance of the proposed operations.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The design function of structures, systems and component are not impacted by the proposed amendment. The proposed change involves operations in response to a fire. They do not involve new failure mechanisms or malfunctions that can initiate a new accident.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

Thermal-hydraulic analysis demonstrates that the proposed operations to be performed in the control room will ensure that the RCS process variables remain within those values predicted for a loss of normal a-c power, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.L.1. The analysis demonstrates that a single spurious operation before control of the plant is achieved through the alternative or dedicated shutdown system will not adversely impact the results of the analysis. After control of the plant is achieved by the alternative or dedicated shutdown system, circuits subjected to fire-induced circuit failures are isolated from the control stations such that the safe shutdown operations will not be compromised.

The need to perform the proposed operations can be readily diagnosed and the operations can be performed in rapid succession by control room operators at their normal control station. The actions are straightforward and familiar to the operators. The actions have been verified that they can be performed through demonstration. The operations are backed up outside the control room such that assurance exists they should not be negated by subsequent spurious actuation signals from a postulated fire.

The automatic turbine trip action can reasonably be assumed to occur with the credited manual reactor trip action that is part of the current licensing basis.

15 Considerable defense-in-depth features exist in Fire Area 1 [control room is part of Fire Area 1] such that it is extremely unlikely that a fire would result in evacuation of the control room.

The proposed operations are feasible and reliable and demonstrate that the unit can be safely shutdown in the event of a fire. The operations ensure that performance goals of Appendix R,Section III.L.2 are met.

The achievement of these goals provide adequate margin from challenging any safety limits.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the request for amendments involves no significant hazards consideration.

Tennessee Valley Authority, Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, Hamilton County, Tennessee Date of amendment request: June 17, 2011 (TS-SQN-2011-07).

Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would revise the licensing basis and the Technical Specifications to permit the use of a more robust AREVA Advanced W17 high thermal performance (HTP) fuel at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN), Units 1 and 2. This new fuel has been selected to address fuel assembly distortion and its resultant fuel handling issues.

The proposed AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel assembly design consists of standard uranium dioxide fuel pellets with gadolinium oxide burnable poison and M5TM cladding. The new fuel

16 design ensures mechanical compatibility with the existing fuel, reactor core, control rods, steam supply system, and fuel handling system. The transition from the existing fuel (AREVA Mark-BW) to new fuel (AREVA Advanced W17 HTP) is planned to occur over two refueling cycles for each SQN unit.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The reactor fuel and the analyses associated with it are not accident initiators. The response of the fuel to an accident is analyzed using conservative techniques and the results are compared to approved acceptance criteria. These evaluation results will show that the fuel response to an accident is within approved acceptance criteria for cores loaded with the new AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel and cores loaded with both AREVA Advanced W17 HTP and AREVA Mark-BW fuel.

Therefore, the change in fuel design does not affect accident or transient initiation or consequences.

The addition of limits on DNBR [departure from nucleate boiling ratio] and maximum local fuel pin centerline temperature to Safety Limit Technical Specification 2.1.1 or the proposed change to the Safety Limit Technical Specification Figure 2.1-1 does not require any physical change to any plant system, structure, or component. Specifying DNBR and maximum local fuel pin centerline temperature and the change to the CSL [core safety limit] lines are consistent with the Standard Review Plan (SRP) for ensuring that the fuel design limits are met. Operations and analysis will continue to be in compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The new CSL limits will ensure DNBR and the peak fuel centerline temperature is maintained for protecting the fuel. The addition of DNBR limits or fuel pin centerline temperature limits, or changes to the CSL lines do not impact the initiation or the mitigation of an accident.

The proposed change Technical Specification Table 2.2-1 and Figure 3.2-1 are revised to present a new loop flow and total core flow design limit based on the new AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel and the new steam

17 generators (now installed for SQN Unit 1 and that will be installed concurrently with the introduction of the new Advanced W17 HTP fuel for SQN Unit 2). Core flow is not an accident initiator and does not play a role in accident mitigation.

The core operating limits to be developed using the new methodologies will be established in accordance with the applicable limitations as documented in the appropriate NRC Safety Evaluation reports. The proposed change to add and remove various topical reports cited in Technical Specification 6.9.1.14.a (including adding revision numbers and revision dates to current cited topical reports) enables the use of appropriate methodologies to re-analyze certain events. The proposed methodologies will ensure that the plant continues to meet applicable design criteria and safety analysis acceptance criteria. The proposed change to the list of NRC-approved methodologies listed in Technical Specification 6.9.1.14.a is administrative in nature and has no impact on any plant configuration or system performance relied upon to mitigate the consequences of an accident. The proposed change will update the listing of NRC-approved methodologies consistent with the transition to AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel. Changes to the calculated core operating limits may only be made using NRC-approved methods, must be consistent with all applicable safety analysis limits and are controlled by the 10 CFR 50.59 process. The list of methodologies in the Technical Specifications does not impact either the initiation of an accident or the mitigation of its consequences.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

Use of AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel in the SQN, Units 1 and 2, reactor cores does not adversely affect any fission product barrier, nor does it alter the safety function of safety systems, structures, or components, or their roles in accident prevention or mitigation. The operational characteristics of AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel are bounded by the safety analyses. The AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel design performs within fuel design limits and does not create the possibility of a new or different type of accident.

The addition of limits on DNBR and maximum local fuel pin centerline temperature to Safety Limit Technical Specification 2.1.1 or the proposed change to the Safety Limit Technical Specification Figure 2.1-1 does not require any physical change to any plant system, structure, or component. Specifying DNBR and maximum local fuel pin centerline

18 temperature and the change to the CSL lines are consistent with the SRP for ensuring that the fuel design limits are met. Operations and analysis will continue to be in compliance with NRC regulations. The new CSL limits will ensure DNBR and the peak fuel centerline temperature is maintained for protecting the fuel. The addition of DNBR limits or fuel pin centerline temperature limits, or changes to the CSL lines do not affect any accident initiators that would create a new accident.

The proposed change Technical Specification Table 2.2-1 and Figure 3.2-1 are revised to present a new loop flow and total core flow design limit based on the new AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel and the new steam generators (now installed for SQN, Unit 1, and that will be installed concurrently with the introduction of the new Advanced W17 HTP fuel for SQN, Unit 2). Core flow is not an accident initiator and does not play a role in accident mitigation and cannot create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident.

The proposed change to the list of topical reports used to determine the core operating limits is administrative in nature and has no impact on any plant configuration or on system performance. It updates the list of NRC-approved topical reports used to develop the core operating limits. There is no change to the parameters within which the plant is normally operated. The possibility of a new or different accident is not created.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

Use of AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel does not adversely affect any fission product barrier, nor does it alter the safety function of safety systems, structures, or components, or their roles in accident prevention or mitigation. The operational characteristics of AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel are bounded by the safety analyses. The AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel design performs within fuel design limits. The proposed changes do not result in exceeding design basis limits. Therefore, the licensed safety margins are maintained.

The addition of limits on DNBR and maximum local fuel pin centerline temperature to Safety Limit Technical Specification 2.1.1 or the proposed change to the Safety Limit Technical Specification Figure 2.1-1 does not require any physical change to any plant system, structure, or component. Specifying DNBR and maximum local fuel pin centerline temperature and the change to the CSL lines are consistent with the SRP for ensuring that the fuel design limits are met. Operations and analysis

19 will continue to be in compliance with NRC regulations. The new CSL limits will ensure DNBR and the peak fuel centerline temperature is maintained for protecting the fuel. The addition of DNBR limits or fuel pin centerline temperature limits, or changes to the CSL lines do not impact licensed safety margins.

The proposed change Technical Specification Table 2.2-1 and Figure 3.2-1 are revised to present a new loop flow and total core flow design limit based on the new AREVA Advanced W17 HTP fuel and the new steam generators (now installed for SQN Unit 1 and that will be installed concurrently with the introduction of the new Advanced W17 HTP fuel for SQN Unit 2). The proposed changes to core flow are provided to ensure licensed safety margins are maintained.

The proposed change to the list of topical reports in Technical Specification 6.9.1.14.a does not amend the cycle specific parameters presently required by the Technical Specifications. The individual Technical Specifications continue to require operation of the plant within the bounds of the limits specified in the COLR [core operating limits report]. The proposed change to the list of analytical methods referenced in the COLR is administrative in nature and does not impact the margin of safety.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, Docket No. 50-482, Wolf Creek Generating Station, Coffey County, Kansas Date of amendment request: February 23, 2011.

20 Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would revise the Wolf Creek Generating Station Technical Specifications (TSs) 3.3.7, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) Actuation Instrumentation," 3.3.8, "Emergency Exhaust System (EES)

Actuation Instrumentation," 3.7.10, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS),"

3.7.11, "Control Room Air Conditioning System (CRACS)," 3.7.13, "Emergency Exhaust System (EES)," 3.8.2, "AC [Alternating Current] Sources - Shutdown," 3.8.5, "DC [Direct Current]

Sources - Shutdown," 3.8.8, "Inverters - Shutdown," and 3.8.10, "Distribution Systems -

Shutdown." Specifically, the proposed amendment would: 1) delete MODES 5 and 6 from the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) Applicability for the CREVS and its actuation instrumentation (TS 3.7.10 and TS 3.3.7, respectively); 2) delete the Required Action from TS 3.7.10 and TS 3.7.11 that requires verifying that the OPERABLE CREVS/CRACS train is capable of being powered by an emergency power source; 3) revise TS 3.7.13 by incorporating a 7-day Completion Time for restoring an inoperable EES train to OPERABLE status during shutdown conditions; 4) adopt NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Change Traveler TSTF-36-A, Revision 4, Addition of LCO 3.0.3 N/A [not applicable] to shutdown electrical power specifications, for TSs 3.3.8, 3.7.13, 3.8.2, 3.8.5, 3.8.8, and 3.8.10; and 5) add a more restrictive change to the LCO Applicability for TSs 3.8.2, 3.8.5, 3.8.8, and 3.8.10 such that these LCOs apply not only during MODES 5 and 6, but also during the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies regardless of the MODE in which the plant is operating.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

21 Response: No.

Deleting MODES 5 and 6 from the LCO Applicability of TSs 3.3.7 and 3.7.10 does not significantly increase the consequences of any accident since it has been demonstrated that the radiological consequences to control room occupants from a waste gas decay tank rupture will remain much less than the regulatory limits with no mitigation from the CREVS in MODES 5 and 6. The acceptance criteria for this event will continue to be met.

Incorporation of a 7-day Completion Time for restoring an inoperable EES train during shutdown conditions (i.e., during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel building) and the deletion of Required Actions for verifying the availability of an emergency power source when a CREVS/CRACS train is inoperable during the same conditions, are operational provisions that have no impact on the frequency of occurrence of the event for which the EES, CREVS and CRACS are designed to mitigate. These systems have no bearing on the occurrence of a fuel handling accident [(FHA)] as the systems themselves are not associated with any of the potential initiating sequences, mechanisms or occurrences - such as a failure of a lifting device or crane, or an operator error - that could cause an FHA. Since these systems are designed only to respond to an FHA as accident mitigators after the accident has occurred, and they have no bearing on the occurrence of such an event themselves, the proposed changes to the CREVS, CRACS, and EES Technical Specifications have no impact on the probability of an accident previously evaluated.

With respect to deleting the noted Required Actions in TS 3.7.10 and TS 3.7.11 (for verifying that the OPERABLE CREVS/CRACS train is capable of being powered from an emergency power source when one CREVS/CRACS train is inoperable), such a change does not change the LCO requirement for both CREVS/CRACS trains to be OPERABLE, nor to the LCO requirements of the TS requirements pertaining to electrical power sources/support for shutdown conditions. The change to the Required Actions would thus not be expected to have a significant impact on the availability of the CREVS and CRACS. That is, adequate availability may be still assumed such that these systems would continue to be available to provide their assumed function for limiting the dose consequences of an FHA in accordance with the accident analysis currently described in the [Updated Safety Analysis Report].

With respect to the Completion Time for an inoperable EES train, the consequences of a postulated accident are not affected by equipment Completion Times as long as adequate equipment availability is maintained. The proposed EES Completion Time is based on the Completion Time specified in the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) for which it may be presumed that the specified Completion Time is

22 acceptable and supports adequate EES availability. As noted in the STS Bases, the 7-day Completion Time for restoring an inoperable EES train takes into account the availability of the other train. Since the STS-support Completion Time supports adequate EES availability, it may be assumed that the EES function would be available for mitigation of an FHA, thus limiting offsite dose to within the currently calculated values based on the current accident analysis. On this basis, the consequences of applicable, analyzed accidents (i.e., the FHA) are not increased by the proposed change.

The adoption of TSTF-36-A will not affect the equipment and LCOs needed to mitigate the consequences of a[n] FHA in the fuel building; however, this change will reduce the chances of an unnecessary plant shutdown due to activities in the fuel building that have no bearing on the operation of the rest of the plant and the reactor core inside the containment building.

[redundant paragraph omitted]

The changes to the shutdown electrical specifications will add an additional restriction that is consistent with the objective of being able to mitigate a fuel handling accident during all situations, including a full core offload, in which such an accident could occur.

Overall protection system performance will remain within the bounds of the previously performed accident analyses since there are no design changes. All design, material, and construction standards that were applicable prior to this amendment request will be maintained. There will be no changes to any design or operating limits.

The proposed changes will not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor adversely alter the design assumptions, conditions, and configuration of the facility or the manner in which the plant is operated and maintained. The proposed changes will not alter or prevent the ability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) from performing their intended functions to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed acceptance limits.

The proposed changes do not physically alter safety-related systems nor affect the way in which safety related systems perform their functions.

The proposed changes do not alter plant design or operation; therefore, these changes will not increase the probability of any accident.

All accident analysis acceptance criteria will continue to be met with the proposed changes. The proposed changes will not affect the source term, containment isolation, or radiological release assumptions used in evaluating the radiological consequences of an accident previously evaluated. After a postulated release from a waste gas decay tank

23 rupture no CREVS mitigation is required. The applicable radiological dose criteria will continue to be met.

Therefore, the proposed changes will not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

There are no proposed design changes nor are there any changes in the method by which any safety related plant SSC performs its specified safety function. The proposed changes will not affect the normal method of plant operation or change any operating parameters. Equipment performance necessary to fulfill safety analysis missions will be unaffected. The proposed changes will not alter any assumptions required to meet the safety analysis acceptance criteria.

No new accident scenarios, transient precursors, failure mechanisms, or limiting single failures will be introduced as a result of this amendment.

There will be no adverse effect or challenges imposed on any safety related system as a result of this amendment.

The proposed amendment will not alter the design or performance of the 7300 Process Protection System, Nuclear Instrumentation System, or Solid State Protection System used in the plant protection systems.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

There will be no effect on those plant systems necessary to assure the accomplishment of protection functions. There will be no impact on the overpower limit, departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) limits, heat flux hot channel factor [ ], nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor [ ], loss of coolant accident peak cladding temperature (LOCA PCT), peak local power density, or any other margin of safety. The applicable radiological dose consequence acceptance criteria will continue to be met. It has been demonstrated that the CREVS and its actuation instrumentation are not required to mitigate the control room radiological consequences of a waste gas decay tank rupture.

24 The proposed changes do not eliminate any surveillances or alter the frequency of surveillances required by the Technical Specifications.

None of the acceptance criteria for any accident analysis will be changed.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation, Docket No. 50-482, Wolf Creek Generating Station, Coffey County, Kansas Date of amendment request: April 22, 2011.

Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would revise the Wolf Creek Generating Station Technical Specification (TS) 5.3, "Unit Staff Qualifications," by making two administrative changes to TS 5.3.1.1. Specifically, these changes will remove the operator license applicants education and experience eligibility requirements, and correct inadvertent omissions in previous amendments relative to the Licensed Operators and Senior Operators qualification requirements.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

25

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed change is an administrative change to reinstate the qualification requirements for Licensed Operators and Senior Licensed Operators that were inadvertently eliminated through the issuance of Amendment No. 150 [issued November 26, 2002,] and Amendment No. 159 [issued January 31, 2005], and to remove an unnecessary reference to a [National Academy for Nuclear Training] NANT guideline.

The proposed change does not directly impact accidents previously evaluated. [Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Companys (WCNOC's)]

licensed operator training program is accredited by the NANT and is based on a systems approach to training consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55. Although licensed operator qualifications and training may have an indirect impact on accidents previously evaluated, the NRC considered this impact during the rulemaking process, and by promulgation of the revised 10 CFR Part 55 rule, concluded that this impact remains acceptable as long as the licensed operator training program is certified to be accredited and is based on a systems approach to training.

Therefore, the proposed change will not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed change is an administrative change to reinstate the qualification requirements for Licensed Operators and Senior Licensed Operators that were inadvertently eliminated through the issuance of Amendment No. 150 and Amendment No. 159, and to remove an unnecessary reference to a NANT guideline. WCNOC's licensed operator training program is accredited by the National Academy for Nuclear Training and is based on a systems approach to training consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55. Although licensed operator qualifications and training may have an indirect impact on accidents previously evaluated, the NRC considered this impact during the rulemaking process, and by promulgation of the revised 10 CFR Part 55 rule, concluded that this impact remains acceptable as long as the licensed operator training program is certified to be accredited and is based on a systems approach to training.

26 Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed change is an administrative change to reinstate the qualification requirements for Licensed Operators and Senior Licensed Operators that were inadvertently eliminated through the issuance of Amendment No. 150 and Amendment No. 159, and to remove an unnecessary reference to a NANT guideline. As noted previously, WCNOC's licensed operator training program is accredited and is based on a systems approach to training consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55. Licensed operator qualifications and training can have an indirect impact on the margin of safety. However, the NRC considered this impact during the rulemaking process, and by promulgation of the revised 10 CFR Part 55 rule, determined that this impact remains acceptable when licensees maintain a licensed operator training program that is accredited and based on a systems approach to training.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
