Attachment I RBG-47322 Analysis of Proposed Technical Specification Change to RBG-47322 Page 1 of 5

1.0 DESCRIPTION

The proposed amendment would modify Technical Specifications (TS) for River Bend Station - Unit 1 (RBS) to risk-informed requirements regarding selected Required Action End States.

The changes are consistent with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved Industry/Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) TSTF-423, Revision 0, "Technical Specifications End States, NEDC-32988-A."

The availability of this TS improvement was published in the Federal Register on February 18, 2011, as part of the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (CLIIP).

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

The proposed amendment would modify RBS TS to risk-inform requirements regarding selected Required Action end states. Additionally, it would modify the TS Required Actions with a Note prohibiting the use of limiting condition for operation (LCO) 3.0.4.a when entering the preferred end state (Mode 3) on startup.

The proposed TS changes are included as Attachment 2 of this submittal. The technical variations or deviations from TSTF-423, Revision 1 are of two types; differences in RBS specific TS and those TS changes in TSTF-423 which RBS is not requesting. In some cases, an adaptation of TSTF-423 was required for incorporation into the TS due to administrative differences in format (e.g., condition letter designation, etc). Each of these differences is identified in Section 4.1.

The associated Bases are included as Attachment 3 for information.

3.0 BACKGROUND

The background for this application is adequately addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability of the Proposed Models for Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-423, Revision 1, "Technical Specifications End States, NEDC-32988-A," for Boiling Water Reactor Plants Using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (CLIIP) published on February 18, 2011.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Entergy has reviewed the Safety Evaluation (SE) published on February 18, 2011, as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability of the Model Safety Evaluation. Entergy has concluded that the information in the GE topical report and TSTF-423 as well as the Safety Evaluation prepared by the NRC, are applicable to River Bend Station (RBS), and provide justification for the incorporation of the proposed changes into the River Bend Station, Unit 1, TS. The following is noted with respect to this conclusion:

1. The discussion regarding Control Room Air Conditioning (CRAC), NUREG-1434 TS 3.7.3) discusses that this is a non-risk significant system for most BWR's. For to RBG-47322 Page 2 of 5 River Bend, the OPERABILITY of this system is impacted through interlocks to Switchgear Room cooling, which is another subsystem of the overall Control Building HVAC system (HVC) and which is a risk significant function. However, the logic supporting the proposed changes for CRAC remains valid even with consideration of the need for Switchgear Room cooling at River Bend.
2. RBS has motor-driven main feed pumps, which remain available at low vessel pressure conditions. However, the impact on risk associated with these feedwater pumps would follow the same logic as for the BWR/6 motor driven HPCS pump, as discussed in NEDC-32988-A, with the proviso that the importance to risk of the feedwater pumps is much smaller than for the HPCS pump. One particular reason for this is the large contribution of Loss of Offsite Power to, in general, BWR core damage frequency (CDF) and also to the RBS CDF, which lessens the importance of feedwater as an injection source. Thus, the conclusions of the risk assessments discussed in NEDC-32988-A are unaffected.
3. RBS has containment unit coolers and does not have a containment spray system.

However, the role of the containment unit coolers in preventing containment overpressure failure is basically the same as that assumed in NEDC-32988-A for the containment spray system. Thus, the conclusions of the risk assessments performed in NEDC-32988-A for containment spray are directly applicable to the RBS containment unit coolers.

As discussed in the notice of availability published in the FederalRegister on February 18, 2011 for this TS improvement, plant-specific regulatory commitments are made as follows:

  • Entergy has previously committed to the guidance of NUMARC 93-01 Section 11, which provides guidance and details on the assessment and management of risk during maintenance. This commitment was included in the application for TSTF-427 and approved by the NRC in Amendment 173 therefore, no new commitment is required
  • Entergy will follow the guidance established in TSTF-IG-05-02 "Implementation Guidance for TSTF-423, Revision 2, Technical Specification End States, NEDC-32988-A."

4.1 Optional Changes and Variations TSTF-423 is based on NUREG-1434, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants, BWR/6." RBS, Unit 1 TS are based on NUREG-1434, but are not identical to this guidance. As a result, an adaptation of TSTF-423 was required, in some cases, for incorporation into the RBS, Unit 1 TS due to administrative differences in format (e.g.,

condition letter designation, etc).

Changes to individual line items to align with the provisions of TSTF-423 are:

1. Changes to RBS TS 3.6.4.3, Standby Gas Treatment, were needed to incorporate entry into Mode 3 in lieu of the current requirement to enter TS 3.0.3.

to RBG-47322 Page 3 of 5 A new Required Action C is added. This additional Required Action is consistent with TSTF-423 as it replaces entering TS 3.0.3 with the Required Action to enter Mode 3.

2. Changes to RBS TS 3.7.1 are needed to incorporate TSTF-423 line item TS 3.7.1.

These changes are consistent with TSTF-423 but require modification to the standard due to the RBS current licensing basis.

The proposed TS for RBS will separate the shutdown Required Actions into one addressing issues with a single division, revised Required Action H, and one addressing issues with two division, new Required Action I. This allows the single division actions to be limited to Mode 3 while the remainder of the issues being addressed by the new Required Action and including Mode 4 as an end state. The description of changes to the TS are as follows:

Condition H will be revised to address conditions for one division of Standby Service Water (SSW)/Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) inoperable, RBS items A, E, or G not met.

This will be consistent with TSTF revised Condition C.

A new Condition I will be added to address conditions for both division of SSW/UHS inoperable, RBS items B, D, or F not met. This will be consistent with TSTF-423 TS 3.7.1 revised Condition E. Conditions addressing "Both SSW subsystems inoperable for reasons other than Condition F." and "Three or four UHS cooling tower fan cells inoperable" will also be addressed by this Condition.

3. Changes to RBS TS 3.7.2, Control Room Fresh Air, were needed; RBS currently has Required Action B addressing two divisions inoperable during Mode 1, 2 or 3 operations. Required Action C will require entry into Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if Required Action B is not met consistent with the TSTF.
4. The TS changes in TSTF-423, Revision 0 included changes to STS sections 3.4.4, "Safety/Relief valves (S/RVs)" which are not applicable to the RBS TS. The RBS TS 3.4.4 Conditions differ from those in STS 3.4.4 such that the technical justification provided in Reference 1 is not directly applicable.. Specifically RBS TS 3.4.4 Condition A addresses one or more S/RVs inoperable; whereas, STS 3.4.4 Condition A is limited to a single inoperable S/RV.
5. Changes to RBS TS 3.8.7 are limited to Division 1 and 2 only. RBS Division 3 has no inverters for safety related functions. Therefore, requirement to shutdown due to an inoperable inverter is not required.

to RBG-47322 Page 4 of 5 Minor administrative changes were made to the following items.

TSTF-423 Item Change 3.6.1.9 MSIV LCS System identified as MS-PLCS, no functional difference.

3.7.3 Control Room Fresh RBS TS 3.7.2 Air 3.7.4 Control Room AC RBS TS 3.7.3 3.7.5 Offgas RBS TS 3.7.4 In addition to changes in TSTF-423, as discussed above, RBS is not requesting changes to a number of the line items identified in TSTF-423. The individual line items are TS; 3.4.4 SRVs, 3.6.1.8 PVLCS, and 3.6.5.6 Drywell Vacuum Relief System.

5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Entergy has reviewed the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination (NSHCD) published in the FederalRegister as part of the CLIP. Entergy has concluded that the proposed NSHCD presented in the Federal Register notice is applicable to River Bend Station and is hereby incorporated by reference to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91 (a).

5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria A description of the proposed TS change and its relationship to applicable regulatory requirements was provided in the NRC Notice of Availability of the Model Safety Evaluation published on October 3, 2006.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Entergy has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the safety evaluation published on February 18, 2011, as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability of the Model Safety Evaluation. Entergy has concluded that the staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to RBS, Unit 1 and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

(continued)

LLS valves satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Five LLS valves are required to be OPERABLE to satisfy the assumptions of the safety analysis (Ref. 2). The requirements of this LCO are applicable to the mechanical and electrical/pneumatic capability of the LLS valves to function for controlling the opening and closing of the S/RVs.

APPLICABIUTY In MODES 1,2, and 3, an event could cause pressurization of the reactor and opening of StRVs. In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining the LLS valves OPERABLE is not required In MODE 4 or 5.

ACTIONS A._1 With one LLS valve inoperable, the remaining OPERABLE LLS valves.are adequate to perform the designed function. However, the overall reliability is reduced.

The testing frequency required by the Inservice Testing Program is based on operating experience and valve performance. Therefore, the frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

SR 3.6,1.6.2 The LLS designed SIRVs are required to actuate autornatically upon receipt of specific Initiation signats. A system functional test is performed to verify that the mechanical portions (i.e., solenoids) of the automatic LLS function operate as designed when initiated either by an actual or simulated automatic initiation signal. The LOGIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST in SR 3.3.6.4.4 overlaps this SR to provide complete testing of the safety function.

The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power.

This SR is modified by a Note that excludes valve actuation. This prevents a reactor pressure vessel pressure blowdown.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3,15,16.1 REQUIREMENTS A manual actuation of each required LLS valve (those valves removed and replaced to satisfy SR 3A.4.1) is performed to verify that the valve is functioning property. This SR can be demonstrated by one of two methods. If performed by method 1), plant startup is allowed prior to performing this test because valve OPERABILITY and the setpoints for overpressure protection are verified, per ASME requirements (Ref. 3),

prior to valve installation. Therefore, this SR is modified by a note that states the surveiNance is not required to be performed until 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after reactor steam pressure and flow are adequate to perform the test.

If performed by method 2). valve OPERABIUTY has been demonstrated for all instaled IJS valves based upon the successful operation of a test sample of S/RVs.

1. Manual actuation of the LLS valve, with verification of the response of the turbine control valves or bypass valves, by a change in the measured steam flow, or any other method suitable to verify steam flow (e.g., tallpipe temperature or pressure). Adequate reactor steam pressure must be available to perform this test to avoid damaging the valve. Also, adequate reactor steam flow must be passing through the main turbine or turbine bypass valves to continue to control reactor pressure when the LLS valves divert steam flow upon opening.

Sufficient time is therefore allowed after the required pressure and flow are achieved to perform this test. Adequate pressure at which this test is to be performed is consistent with the pressure recommended by the valve manufacturer.

2. The sample population of S/RVs tested each refueling outage to satisfy SR 3.4,4.1 will be stroked in the relief mode during 'as-found" testing to verify proper operation of the SIRV. The successful performance of the test sample of SIRVs provides reasonable assurance that all LLS valves will perform in a similar fashion. After the SIRVs are replaced, the relief-mode actuator of the newly installed S/RVs will be uncoupled from the S/RV, and cycled to ensure that no damage has occurred to the S/RV during transportation and Installation. Following cycling, the relief-mode actuator is recoupled and the proper connection to the S/RV lever is independently verified.

This verifies that each replaced SIRV will properly perform its intended function.

The STAGGERED TEST BASIS frequency ensures that both solenoids for each LLS valve relief-mode actuator are alternately tested. The (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a LOCA could lead to a fission product release to primary containment that leaks to secondary containment. Therefore, secondary containment OPERABILITY is required during the same operating conditions that require primary containment OPERABILITY.

In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of the LOCA are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES.

Therefore, maintaining secondary containment OPERABLE is not required in MODE 4 or 5 to ensure a control volume, except for other situations for which significant releases of radioactive material can be postulated, such as during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel building. The fuel building OPERABILITY during recently irradiated fuel handling is addressed in LCO 3.6.4.7, "Fuel Building Ventilation Systems-Fuel Handling."

To ensure that all fission products are treated, SR 3,6.4.1.4 verifies that the SGT System will rapidly establish and maintain a pressure in the shield building annulus and auxiliary building that is less than the lowest postulated pressure external to the secondary containment boundary. This is confirmed by demonstrating that one SGT subsystem wfil draw down the shield building annulus and auxiliary building to ýý0.5 and > 0.25 inches of vacuum water gauge in <_18.5 and -ý 34.5 seconds, respectively. This cannot be accomplished if the secondary containment boundary is not intact. SR 3.6.4.1.6 demonstrates that each SGT subsystem can maintain > 0.5 and k 0.25 inches of vacuum water gauge for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

Therefore, these two tests are used to ensure the integrity of this portion of the secondary containment boundary. Since these SRs are secondary containment tests, they need not be performed with each SGT subsystem, The SGT subsystems are tested on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS, however, to ensure that in addition to the requirements of LCO 3.6.4.3, either SGT subsystem will perform this test_

In MODES 4 and 5. the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES.

Therefore, maintaining the SGT System OPERABLE is not required in MODE 4 or 5.

ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 With one SGT subsystem inoperable, action must be taken to verify that the OPERABLE SGT subsystem is not operating in the primary containment purge flowpath.

Additionally. the inoperable subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE SGT subsystem is adequate to perform the required radioactivity release control function. However, the overall system reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in the radioactivity release control function not being adequately performed. The 7 day Completion Time is based on consideration of such factors as the availability of the OPERABLE redundant SGT subsystem and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

Therefore, inability to suspend movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies is not sufficient reason to require a reactor shutdown.

During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the primary containment or fuel building or during OPDRVs, if the inoperable CRFA subsystem cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the OPERABLE CRFA subsystem may be placed in the emergency mode. This action ensures that the remaining subsystem is OPERABLE, that no failures that would prevent automatic actuation will occur, and that any active failure will be readily detected.

An alternative to Required Action D.1 is to immediately suspend activities that present a potential for releasing radioactivity that might require isolation of the CRE. This places the unit in a condition that minimizes the accident risk.

If applicable. movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the primary containment or fuel bulding must be suspended immediately.

Suspension of these activities shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position. Also, if applicable, actions must be initiated immediately to suspend OPDRVs to minimize the probabilty of a vessel draindown and subsequent potential for fission product release.

Actions must continue until the OPDRVs are suspended.

Required Action A.l allows 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to fix the Inoperable inverter and return it to service or align an OPERABLE inverter to the Vital Bus. The 24 hou* limit is based upon engineering judgment, taking into consideration the time required to repair an Inverter and the additional risk to which the plant is exposed because of the inverter inoperability. This risk has to be balanced against the risk of an immediate shutdown, along with the potential challenges to safety systems that such a shutdown might entail. When the AC vital bus is powered from one of its Class 1E sources, it is relying upon Interruptible AC electrical power sources (offsite and onsite). The uninterruptible inverter source to the AC vital buses is the preferred source for powering instrumentation trip setpoint devices.

The potential for decreased safety when requiring entry into numerous applicable Conditions and Required Actions for components without DC power while not providing sufficient time for the operators to perform the necessary evaluations and actions for restoring power to the affected division; and

The second Completion Time for Required Action C.1 establishes a limdt on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required distribution subsystems to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. IfCondition C is entered while, for instance, an AC bus is inoperable and subsequently returned OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

At this time, an AC division could again become inoperable, and DC distribution could be. restored OPERABLE. This could continue indefinitely.

This Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "lime zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." This allowance results in establishing the 'time zero" at the time the LCO was initially not met, instead of the time Condition C was entered. The 16 hour1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is an acceptable limitation on this potential of failing to meet the LCO indefinitely.

Ifthe inoperable electrical power distribution system cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Times, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO doec net app,. overall plant risk is minized. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> ,4ndt* MOdE 4 within a-6-4ma~s.
