AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (Continued) i . Although it is intended that the plant will be operated with the AFD j within the target band required by Specification 3.2.1 about the target flux i difference, during rapid plant THERMAL POWER reductions, control rod motion l j will cause the AFD to deviate outside of the target band at reduced THERMAL  ; 1

;             POWER levels.        This deviation will not affect the xenon redistribution                      :

j sufficiently to change the envelope of peaking factors which may be reached on  ! a subsequent return to RATED THERMAL POWER (with the AFD within the target

     ,-       band) provided the time duration of the deviation is limited. Accordingly, a 1-hour penalty deviation limit cumulative during the previous 24 hours is
provided for operation outside of the target band but within the limits 4 < l 3

f f;;erM2-1 while at THERMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER. For THERMAL POWER levels between 15% and 50% of RATED THERMAL j POWER, deviations of the AFD outside of the target band are less significant. l The penalty of 2 hours actual time reflects this reduced significance.

Provisions for monitoring the AFD on an automatic basis are derived from i the plant process computer through the AFD Monitor Alarm. The computer deter-mines the 1-minute average of each of the OPERABLE ey. core detector outputs ar.d j provides an alarm message immediately if the AFD for two or more OPERABLE excore channels are outside the target band and the THERMAL POWER is greater than 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER. During operation at THERMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% and between 15% and 50% RATED THERMAL POWER, the computer
outputs an alarm message when the penalty deviation accumulates beyond the limits of I hour and 2 hours, respectively.

Figure B 3/4 2-1 shows a typical monthly target band. 3/4.2.2 and 3/4.2.3 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR, and RCS FLOWRATE AND l NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR The limits on heat flux hot channel factor, RCS flowrate, and nuclear

enthalpy rise hot channel factor ensure that: (1) the design limits on peak
local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded, and (2) in the event of

! a LOCA the peak fuel clad temperature will not exceed the 2200*F ECCS acceptance criteria limit. Each of these is measurable but will normally only be determined periodically as specified in Specifications 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. This periodic surveillance is sufficient to insure that the limits are maintained provided: i i ,

b l Although it is intended that the plant will be operated with he-AFW within the target band required by Specification 3.2.1 about the target flux difference, during rapid plant THERMAL POWER reductions, control rod motion will cause the AFD to deviate outside of the target band at reduced THERMAL , POWER levels. This deviation will not affect the xenon redistribution sufficiently to change the envelope of peaking factors which may be reached on a subsequent return to RATED THERMAL POWER (with the AFD within the target (- band) provided the time duration of the deviation is limited. Accordingly, a / 1-hour penalty deviation limit cumulative during the previaus 24 hours is providedforoperationoutsideofthetargetbandbutwithinthelimits-of.g ) i Fi;;r: 2.2-1 while at THERMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% of RATED l THERMAL POWER. For THERMAL POWER levels between 15% and 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER, deviations of the AFD outside of the target band are less significant. The penalty of 2 hours actual time reflects this reduced significance. Provisions for monitoring the AFD on an automatic basis are derived from the plant process computer through the AFD Monitor Alarm. The computer deter-mines the 1-minute average of each of the OPERABLE excore detector outputs and provides an alarm message immediately if the AFD for two or more OPERABLE excore channels are outside the target band and the THERMAL POWER is greater than 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER. During operation at THERMAL POWER'1evels 4 between 50% and 90% and between 15% and 50% RATED THERMAL POWER, the computer ] outputs an alarm message when the penalty deviation accumulates beyond the limits of 1 hour and 2 hours, respectively.

ATTACHMENT C Evaluation of Significant Hazards Considerations for Proposed Changes to Appendix A Technical Specifications of Facility Operating Licenses NPF-37, NPF-66, NPF-72, and NPF-77 Commonwealth Edison Company (Comed) has evaluated the proposed amendment and determined that it involves no significant hazards considerations. According to ' 10CFR50.92(c), a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant

        . hazards considerations if 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.

A. INTRODUCTION Generic Letter (GL) 88-16, " Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits from Technical Specification", dated October 4,1988 was issued to encourage licensees to amend Technical Specifications (TS) related to cycle-specific parameters. Several Technical Specifications contain limits associated with reactor physics parameters that generally change with every core reload, possibly requiring changes to the Technical Specifications each fuel cycle. The generic letter provided guidance for relocating certain cycle specific core operating limits from the Technical Specifications to a licensee controlled document, provided NRC approved methodologies are used to determine these cycle-specific core operating limits. Consequently, changes to these cycle dependent core operating limits would be allowed without prior NRC approval and results in a monetary and personnel resource savings for the licensees and the NRC. Comed proposes relocating these cycle specific core operating limits from the Technical Specifications to an Operating Limits Report (OLR). Currently, the OLR contains a cycle-specific limit for the radial peaking factor, F y and Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC). C-1

This amendment request proposes expanding the OLR to include the additional cycle-specific core operating limits from the GL. If approved, the following Technical Specification limits will also be located in the OLR:

1. Shutdown Bank Insertion Limit for TS 3.1.3.5,
2. Control Bank Insertion Limit for TS 3.1.3.6,
3. Axial Flux Difference Limits, Target Band for TS 3.2.1,
4. Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor and K(Z) for TS 3.2.2, and
5. Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, and Power Factor Multiplier for Specification 3.2.3.

The cycle-specific parameters proposed for relocation to the OLR and the proposed TS markups are consistent with the guidance provided in Westinghouse Owners Group letter WOG-90-016, " Core Operating Limits Report License Amendment Submittal", dated January 19,1990. The proposed changes are also consistent with NUREG-1431, " Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Plants."

1. The proposed Technical Specification changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The relocation of the cycle-specific core operating limits from the Technical Specifications has no influence or impact on the probability or consequences of j any accident previously evaluated. The Technical Specifications will continue to require operation within the analyzed core operating limits and the appropriate actions will be taken if the limits are exceeded. The cycle specific limits within the OLR will be implemented and controlled by plant procedures. Any needed revisions of the limit values in the OLR will be performed based on NRC approved methodology as delineated in TS 6.9.1.9. Each accident analysis addressed in the Byron and Braidwood Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) will be examined with respect to changes in cycle dependent parameters. These parameters are obtained from the application of NRC approved reload design methodologies, to ensure that the transient evaluation of new reloads are bounded by previously accepted analysis. This examination, which will be performed under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 process, ensures that future reloads will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. 4 Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. C-2

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

The relocation of the cycle specific variables has no influence or impact, nor does it contribute in any way to the probability or consequences of any new or different kind of accident. No safety related equipment, safety function or plant operations will be altered as a result of this proposed change. The cycle specific variables are calculated using NRC approved methods and submitted to the NRC for their review to allow the Staff to continue to trend the values of these limits. The Technical Specifications will continue to require operation within the analyzed core operating limits and appropriate actions will be taken, when, or if, the limits are exceeded. Therefore, the proposed changes do not in any way create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety for the following reasons:

The margin of safety is not affected by the relocation of cycle specific core operating limits from the Technical Specifications. The margin of safety presently provided by current Technical Specifications remains unchanged. Appropriate measures exist to control the values of these cycle specific limits. The proposed amendment continues to require operation within the core limits as obtained from the NRC approved reload design and safety analysis methodologies. Appropriate actions are required to be taken, when, or if, thest. ... nits are exceeded. The development of the limits for future reloads will continue to conform to those methods described in the NRC approved documentation. In addition, each future  ; reload willinvolve a 10 CFR 50.59 safety review to assure that operation of the Byron and Braidwood units within the cycle specific limits will not involve a 4 reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. i Therefore, the proposed changes do not Impact operation of the plant in a manner that involves a significant reduction in the margin of safety. l Therefore, based on the above evaluation, Commonwealth Edison has concluded that l these changes do not involve significant hazards considerations.  ; l I C-3

ATTACHMENT D Environmental Assessment for Proposed Changes to Appendix A Technical Specifications of Facility Operating Licenses NPF-37, NPF-66, NPF-72, and NPF-77 Commonwealth Edison has evaluated the proposed changes associated with expanding the Operating Limits Report against the criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.21. It has been determined that the proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types of or significant increases in the amounts of any effluent that may be released off-site nor do they affect any of the permitted release paths, or (ill) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure (10 CFR 51.22(C)(9)). The proposed changes do not involve changes in record keeping and reporting requirements (10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)). Accordingly, the proposed changes meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an environmental assessment or environmentalimpact statement of the proposed changes is not required for the changes proposed by the Technical Specification change request.
