NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–414]
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Duke Power Company, LLC.; Notice of
Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License No. NPF–
52 issued to Duke Power Company,
LLC. (the licensee) for operation of the
Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 2 located
in York County, South Carolina.
The proposed amendment would
revise the Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit
2, Technical Specification Section 5.5.9
concerning modifications to the steam
generator tube repair criteria. Before
issuance of the proposed license
amendment, the Commission will have
made findings required by the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the
Act), and the Commission’s regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), Part 50, 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

Jkt 211001
margin of safety. 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:
First Standard
A. Does operation of the facility in
accordance with the proposed amendment
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The previously analyzed accidents are
initiated by the failure of plant structures,
systems, or components. The proposed
change that alters the SG [steam generator]
tube repair criteria does not have a
detrimental impact on the integrity of any
plant structure, system, or component that
initiates an analyzed event. The proposed
change will not alter the operation of, or
otherwise increase the failure probability of
any plant equipment that initiates an
analyzed accident.
Of the applicable accidents previously
evaluated, the limiting transients with
consideration to the proposed change to the
SG tube repair criteria, are the SG tube
rupture event and the steam line break event.
During the SG tube rupture event, the
required structural integrity margins of the
SG tubes will be maintained by the presence
of the SG tubesheet. SG tubes are
hydraulically expanded in the tubesheet area.
Tube rupture in tubes with cracks in the
tubesheet region of the tube is precluded by
the constraint provided by the tubesheet.
This constraint results from the hydraulic
expansion process, thermal expansion
mismatch between the tube and tubesheet,
and the differential pressure between the
primary and secondary side. Based on this
design, the structural margins against burst,
discussed in the TS are maintained for both
normal and postulated accident conditions.
The proposed change does not affect other
systems, structures, components, or
operational features. Therefore, the proposed
changes result in no significant increase in
the probability of the occurrence of a SG tube
rupture event.
At normal operating pressures, leakage
from stress corrosion cracking below the
proposed limited tube repair depth is limited
by both the tube-to-tubesheet crevice and the
limited crack opening permitted by the
tubesheet constraint. Consequently,
negligible normal operating leakage is
expected from cracks within the tubesheet
region. The consequences of a SG tube
rupture event are affected by the primary-tosecondary leakage flow during the event.
Primary-to-secondary leakage flow through a
postulated broken tube is not affected by the
proposed change since the tubesheet
enhances the tube integrity in the region of
the hydraulic expansion by precluding tube
deformation beyond its initial hydraulically
expanded outside diameter.
The probability of a steam line break event
is unaffected by the potential failure of a SG
tube, as this failure is not an initiator for a
steam line break event.
The consequences of a steam line break
event are also not significantly affected by
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the proposed change. During a steam line
break event, the reduction in pressure above
the tubesheet on the shell side of the SG
creates an axially uniformly distributed load
on the tubesheet due to the reactor coolant
system pressure on the underside of the
tubesheet. The resulting bending action
constrains the tubes in the tubesheet, thereby
restricting primary-to-secondary leakage
below the midplane.
Primary-to-secondary leakage from tube
degradation in the tubesheet area during the
limiting accident (i.e., a steam line break
event) is limited by flow restrictions resulting
from the crack and tube-to-tubesheet contact
pressures that provide a restricted leakage
path above the indications and also limit the
degree of potential crack face opening as
compared to free span indications. The
primary-to-secondary leak rate from tube
degradation in the tubesheet region during
postulated steam line break event conditions
will be no more than twice that allowed
during normal operating conditions when the
pressure boundary is relocated to the 17-inch
depth. Since normal operating leakage is
limited to 75 gallons per day through any one
SG per the proposed license condition, the
associated accident condition leak rate,
assuming all leakage to be from lower
tubesheet indications, would be limited to
150 gallons per day per SG. This is the value
that is assumed in the steam line break dose
analysis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated.
Second Standard
B. Does operation of the facility in
accordance with the proposed amendment
create the possibility of a new or different
kind of accident from any accident
previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change does not introduce
any new equipment, create new failure
modes for existing equipment, or create any
new limiting single failures. Plant operation
will not be altered, and all safety functions
will continue to be performed as previously
assumed in accident analyses. Therefore, the
proposed change does not create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any previously evaluated.
Third Standard
C. Does operation of the facility in
accordance with the proposed amendment
involve a significant reduction in the margin
of safety?
Response: No.
The proposed change maintains the
required structural margins of the SG tubes
for both normal and accident conditions. NEI
[Nuclear Energy Institute] 97–06 and the
Catawba TS are used as the bases in the
development of the limited tubesheet tube
repair depth methodology for determining
that SG tube integrity considerations are
maintained within acceptable limits.

acceptable to the NRC for meeting General
Design Criterion (GDC) 14, ‘‘Reactor coolant
pressure boundary,’’ GDC 15, ‘‘Reactor
