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 Commission’s regulations in
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 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; (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 60day 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 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
E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM
10JAN1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 10, 2012 / Notices
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 Commission’s
‘‘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 NRC’s PDR, located at
One White Flint North, Room O1–F21,
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor),
Rockville, Maryland 20874. The NRC
regulations are accessible electronically
from the NRC Library on the NRC Web
site at https://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 requirements: (1) The
name, address, and telephone number of
the requestor or petitioner; (2) the
nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
right under the Act to be made a party
to the proceeding; (3) the nature and
extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
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
requestor’s/petitioner’s 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:28 Jan 09, 2012
Jkt 226001
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 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, then 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 email 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 NRCissued 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.
Information about applying for a
digital ID certificate is available on the
NRC’s public Web site at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
apply-certificates.html. System
requirements for accessing the E–
Submittal server are detailed in the
NRC’s ‘‘Guidance for Electronic
Submission,’’ which is available on the
agency’s public Web site at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. Participants may
attempt to use other software not listed
on the Web site, but should note that the
NRC’s 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 NRC’s 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 NRC’s public Web
site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.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

considered complete at the time the
documents are submitted through the
NRC’s 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 email notice
confirming receipt of the document. The
E–Filing system also distributes an
email notice that provides access to the
document to the NRC Office of the
General Counsel and any others who
have advised the 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 agency’s 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 https://

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

granted an exemption request from
using 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 https://
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. Nontimely 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

of analytical methods used to determine
the core operating limits, and eliminates
extraneous detail in TS 6.9.1.6 that cross
references each method to the
applicable TS Section 3.0 specifications
and parameters.
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 TR [topical report] underlying the
proposed HNP [Shearon Harris Nuclear
Power Plant] methodology has been reviewed
and approved by the NRC for use in
determining core operating limits and for
evaluation of LBLOCA [large break loss-ofcoolant accident]. The core operating limits
to be developed using the new methodologies
for HNP will be established in accordance
with the applicable limitations as
documented in the NRC SE [safety
evaluation]. In the April 9, 2003, NRC SE, the
NRC concluded that the S–RELAP5
RLBLOCA [realistic large break loss-ofcoolant accident] methodology is acceptable
for referencing in licensing applications in
accordance with the stated limitations.
The proposed change enables the use of
new methodology to re-analyze a LBLOCA. It
does not, by itself, impact the current design
bases. Revised analysis may either result in
continued conformance with design bases or
may change the design bases. If design basis
changes result from a revised analysis, the
specific design changes will be evaluated in
accordance with HNP design change
procedures and 10 CFR 50.59.
The proposed change does not involve
physical changes to any plant structure,
system, or component (SSC). Therefore, the
probability of occurrence for a previously
analyzed accident is not significantly
increased.
The consequences of a previously analyzed
accident are dependent on the initial
conditions assumed for the analysis, the
behavior of the fission product barriers
during the analyzed accident, the availability
and successful functioning of the equipment
assumed to operate in response to the
analyzed event, and the setpoints at which
these actions are initiated.
E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM
10JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 10, 2012 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
The proposed methodologies will ensure
that the plant continues to meet applicable
design and safety analyses acceptance
criteria. The proposed change does not affect
the performance of any equipment used to
mitigate the consequences of an analyzed
accident. As a result, no analysis
assumptions are impacted and there are no
adverse effects on the factors that contribute
to offsite or onsite dose as a result of an
accident. The proposed change does not
affect setpoints that initiate protective or
mitigative actions. The proposed change
ensures that plant SSCs are maintained
consistent with the safety analysis and
licensing bases.
Therefore, this amendment does not
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of a previously
analyzed accident.
2. Does the proposed change create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change does not involve any
physical alteration of plant SSCs. No new or
different equipment is being installed and no
installed equipment is being operated in a
different manner. There is no change to the
parameters within which the plant is
normally operated or in the setpoints that
initiate protective or mitigative actions. As a
result, no new failure modes are being
introduced.
Therefore, the proposed change will 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.
There is no impact on any margin of safety
resulting from the incorporation of this new
TR into the TS or deletion of cross-reference
information from the description of the COLR
[core operating limit report]. If design basis
changes result from a revised analysis that
uses these new methodologies, the specific
design changes will be evaluated in
accordance with HNP design change
procedures and 10 CFR 50.59. Any potential
reduction in the margin of safety would be
evaluated for that specific design change.
Therefore, this amendment 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 10 CFR 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff
proposes to determine that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration.

Docket No. 50–293, Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station, Plymouth County,
Massachusetts
Date of amendment request: October
28, 2011.
Description of amendment request:
The proposed amendment would revise
Technical Specification (TS) Table 3.2.B
to increase the condensate storage tank
low water level setpoint for the
interlock to high-pressure coolant
injection (HPCI) pump suction valves.
The proposed amendment would also
correct typographical errors in TS
numbering and referencing that were
introduced in previous license
amendment requests.
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 increasing of the setpoint for the
Condensate Storage Tank (CST) low water
level High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI)
System automatic suction transfer to the
Suppression Pool is not a precursor to any
accident previously evaluated. The CST is
not utilized to mitigate the consequences of
any accident previously evaluated. The
increase in the setpoint provides for HPCI
pump performance with the required flow to
mitigate the accident conditions. The
proposed corrections to typographical errors
incurred in the prior License Amendments
provide correct references to the applicable
existing Specifications, which is an
administrative change.
The proposed changes do not involve a
change to the safety function of the HPCI
system operation. The proposed TS revision
involves no significant changes to the
operation of any systems or components in
normal or accident operating conditions.
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.
The increasing of the setpoint for the
Condensate Storage Tank (CST) low water
level High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI)
System automatic suction transfer to the
Suppression Pool is not a precursor to any
accident previously evaluated. The CST is
not utilized to mitigate the consequences of
any accident previously evaluated. The
increase in the setpoint provides for HPCI
pump performance with the required flow to
mitigate the accident conditions. The
proposed corrections to typographical errors
incurred in the prior License Amendments
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1517
provide correct references to the applicable
existing Specifications, which is an
administrative change.
The proposed changes do not change the
safety function of the HPCI and RCIC [reactor
core isolation cooling] systems. There is no
alteration to the parameters within which the
plant is normally operated. The increase in
the setpoint is not a precursor to new or
different kinds of accidents and do not
initiate new or different kinds of accidents.
The impact of these changes have been
analyzed and found to be acceptable within
the design limits and plant operating
procedures. As a result, no new failure
modes are being introduced.
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 change involve a
significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
The margin of safety is established through
the design of the plant structures, systems,
and components, the parameters within
which the plant is operated and the
establishment of the setpoints for the
actuation of equipment relied upon to
respond to an event and design basis
accidents. The proposed change increases the
setpoint at which protective actions are
initiated, but does not change the
requirements governing operation or
availability of safety equipment assumed to
operate to preserve the margin of safety. The
corrections to the typographical errors
introduced in prior License Amendments do
not impact the safety margin.
Therefore, the proposed change does not
involve a significant reduction in the margin
of safety.

proposed to prohibit fuel storage after
March 31, 2012, in spent fuel pool (SFP)
storage rack cells that have not been
upgraded with the NETCO–SNAP–IN®
inserts.
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 proposed change revises the LSCS
Unit 2 Operating License to accelerate the
timeline for installation of the NETCO–
SNAP–IN® inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP,
and limit the time period under which
BORAFLEXTM is credited as the neutron
absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP. There
are no changes to the SFP criticality analysis
associated with the proposed change. The
SFP criticality analysis was previously
approved by the NRC and continues to
demonstrate that the effective neutron
multiplication factor, Keff, is less than or
equal to 0.95 if the SFP is fully flooded with
unborated water. No physical changes to the
plant are proposed, no new plant equipment
is being installed, and there are no changes
to the manner in which the plant is operated.
Rather, the proposed change is
administrative because it involves
accelerating the timeline for installing the
NETCO–SNAP–IN® inserts and limiting the
time period under which BORAFLEXTM is
credited as the neutron absorbing material in
the Unit 2 SFP.
The probability that a fuel assembly would
be dropped is unchanged by the proposed
change. These events involve failures of
administrative controls, human performance,
and equipment failures that are unaffected by
the proposed change. The proposed change
does not result in a significant increase in the
consequence of an accident previously
analyzed. The criticality analysis that
demonstrates adequate margin to criticality
for spent fuel storage rack cells with rack
inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP, and adequate
criticality margin for assemblies accidentally
dropped onto the spent fuel storage racks, is
not being changed. The consequences of
dropping a fuel assembly onto any other fuel
assembly or other structure are unaffected by
the proposed change.
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.
The proposed change revises the LSCS
Unit 2 Operating License to accelerate the
timeline for installation of the NETCO–
SNAP–IN® inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP,
and limit the time period under which
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:28 Jan 09, 2012
Jkt 226001
BORAFLEXTM is credited as the neutron
absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP. There
are no changes to the SFP criticality analysis
associated with the proposed change. No
physical changes to the plant are proposed,
and there are no changes to the manner in
which the plant is operated. Rather, the
proposed change is administrative because it
involves accelerating the timeline for
installing the NETCO–SNAP–IN® inserts and
limiting the time period under which
BORAFLEXTM is credited as the neutron
absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP.
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 revises the LSCS
Unit 2 Operating License to accelerate the
timeline for installation of the NETCO–
SNAP–IN® inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP,
and limit the time period under which
BORAFLEXTM is credited as the neutron
absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP. Plant
safety margins are established through
limiting conditions for operation, limiting
safety system settings, and safety limits
specified in Technical Specifications. The
proposed change does not alter these
established safety margins. For SFP
criticality, the required safety margin is 5%
including a conservative margin to account
for engineering and manufacturing
uncertainties. The proposed change does not
alter the criticality analysis for the SFP and
does not affect the SFP criticality safety
margin.
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
requested amendments involve no
significant hazards consideration.

Date of amendment request: May 27,
2011.
Description of amendment request:
The proposed amendment would
modify Technical Specifications (TSs)
to allow the BVPS–1 containment spray
additive, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to
be replaced by sodium tetraborate
(NaTB). Also, an administrative change
to the BVPS–2 license is required.

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.
Use of NaTB in lieu of NaOH would not
involve a significant increase in probability
of a previously evaluated accident because
the containment spray additive is not an
initiator of any analyzed accident. The NaTB
would be stored and delivered by a passive
method that does not have potential to affect
plant operations. Any existing NaOH
delivery system equipment which remains in
place but is removed from service would
meet existing seismic and electrical
requirements. Therefore the change in
additive, including removal of NaOH
equipment from service, would not result in
any failure modes that could initiate an
accident.
The spray additive is used to mitigate the
consequences of a LOCA [loss-of-coolant
accident]. Use of NaTB as an additive in lieu
of NaOH would not involve a significant
increase in the consequences of a previously
evaluated accident because the amount of
NaTB specified in the proposed TS would
achieve a pH of 7 or greater, consistent with
the current licensing basis. This pH is
sufficient to achieve long-term retention of
iodine by the containment sump fluid for the
purpose of reducing accident related
radiation dose following a LOCA.
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.
Regarding the proposed use of NaTB in
lieu of NaOH, the NaTB would be stored and
delivered by a passive method that does not
have potential to affect plant operations. Any
existing NaOH delivery system equipment
that is removed from service would meet
existing seismic and electrical requirements.
Hydrogen generation would not be
significantly impacted by the change.
Therefore, no new failure mechanisms,
malfunctions, or accident initiators would be
introduced by the proposed change, and it
would 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.
Since the quantity of NaTB specified in the
amended TS would reduce the potential for
undesirable chemical effects while achieving
radiation dose reductions, corrosion control
and hydrogen generation effects that are
comparable to NaOH, the proposed change
does not involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. The primary function of an
additive is to reduce LOCA consequences by
E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM
10JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 10, 2012 / Notices
controlling the amount of iodine fission
products released to containment atmosphere
from reactor coolant accumulating in the
sump during a LOCA. Because the amended
[TS] would achieve a pH of 7 or greater using
NaTB, dose related safety margins would not
be significantly reduced. Use of NaTB
reduces the potential for undesirable
chemical effects that could interfere with
recirculation flow through the sump
strainers. Any existing NaOH delivery system
equipment that remains in place but is
removed from service would meet existing
seismic and electrical requirements and
would not interfere with operation of the
existing containment or containment spray
system.
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.

Rockingham County, New Hampshire
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Date of amendment request:
November 17, 2011.
Description of amendment request:
The proposed change would revise the
applicability of the figures in the
Technical Specifications for the reactor
coolant system (RCS) pressuretemperature limits and the cold
overpressure protection setpoints. The
proposed change revises the
applicability of the figures from 20
effective full-power years (EFPY) to 23.7
EFPY.
Basis for proposed no significant
hazards consideration (NSHC)
determination: As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of NSHC, which is
presented below:
1. The proposed change does not involve
a significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated.
The proposed change does not impact the
physical function of plant structures,
systems, or components (SSCs) or the manner
in which SSCs perform their design function.
The proposed change neither adversely
affects accident initiators or precursors, nor
alters design assumptions. The proposed
change does not alter or prevent the ability
of operable SSCs to perform their intended
function to mitigate the consequences of an
initiating event within assumed acceptance

limits. The change does not affect the
integrity of the RCS pressure boundary. The
proposed change to the applicability of the
RCS pressure-temperature limits and the cold
overpressure protection setpoints continues
to protect the integrity of the RCS pressure
boundary.
Therefore, the proposed change does not
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated.
2. The proposed change does not create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any previously evaluated.
The proposed change, which revises the
applicability of the RCS pressure-temperature
limits and the cold overpressure protection
setpoints, will not impact the accident
analysis. The change does not involve a
physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new
or different type of equipment will be
installed), a significant change in the method
of plant operation, or new operator actions.
The proposed change will not introduce
failure modes that could result in a new
accident. The RCS pressure-temperature
limits and the cold overpressure protection
setpoints are not accident initiators. The
change does not alter assumptions made in
the safety analysis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not
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 the margin of
safety.
Margin of safety is associated with
confidence in the ability of the fission
product barriers (i.e., fuel cladding, reactor
coolant system pressure boundary, and
containment structure) to limit the level of
radiation dose to the public. The proposed
change does not involve a significant change
in the method of plant operation, and no
accident analyses will be affected by the
proposed changes. Additionally, the
proposed changes will not relax any criteria
used to establish safety limits and will not
relax any safety system settings. The safety
analysis acceptance criteria are not affected
by this change. The proposed change will not
result in plant operation in a configuration
outside the design basis. The proposed
change does not adversely affect systems that
respond to safely shutdown the plant and to
maintain the plant in a safe shutdown
condition. The proposed change to the
applicability of the RCS pressure-temperature
limits and the cold overpressure protection
setpoints continues to protect the integrity of
the RCS pressure boundary.
Therefore, these 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 50.92(c) are satisfied.
Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to
determine that the amendment request
involves NSHC.

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 Commission's regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 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; (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 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
[[Page 1515]]
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 Commission's ``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 NRC's PDR, located at One White Flint North, Room O1-F21, 11555
Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20874. The NRC
regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Library on the
NRC Web site at https://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 requirements: (1) The name, address, and telephone
number of the requestor or petitioner; (2) the nature of the
requestor's/petitioner's right under the Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the requestor's/petitioner's
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 requestor's/petitioner's 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 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, then 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 email 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.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/apply-certificates.html. System requirements for accessing
the E-Submittal server are detailed in the NRC's ``Guidance for
Electronic Submission,'' which is available on the agency's public Web
site at https://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 NRC's 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 NRC's 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 NRC's public Web site at https://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 the NRC guidance
available on the NRC public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is
[[Page 1516]]
considered complete at the time the documents are submitted through the
NRC's 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 email notice
confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also
distributes an email notice that provides access to the document to the
NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the
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 agency's 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 https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by email 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 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
https://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).
For further details with respect to this license amendment
application, see the application for amendment which is available for
public inspection at the NRC's PDR, located at One White Flint North,
Room O1-F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland
20852. Publicly available documents created or received at the NRC are
accessible electronically through ADAMS in the NRC Library at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Persons who do not have access to
ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in
ADAMS, should contact the NRC's PDR Reference staff at 1-(800) 397-
4209, (301) 415-4737, or by email to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
Carolina Power & Light Company, et al., Docket No. 50-400, Shearon
Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, Wake and Chatham Counties, North
Carolina
Date of amendment request: August 22, 2011.
Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would
revise Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.1.6, ``Core Operating Limits
Report,'' to add plant-specific methodology, ANP-3011 (P), ``Harris
Nuclear Plant Unit 1 Realistic Large Break LOCA [Loss-of-Coolant
Accident] Analysis,'' Revision 1, that implements AREVA's NRC-approved
topical report, EMF-2103(P)(A), ``Realistic Large Break LOCA
Methodology for Pressurized Water Reactors,'' and add EMF-2103(P)(A),
``Realistic Large Break LOCA Methodology for Pressurized Water
Reactors,'' Revision 2 or higher upon approval of the specific revision
by the NRC, to the TS 6.9.1.6.2 listing of analytical methods used to
determine the core operating limits, and eliminates extraneous detail
in TS 6.9.1.6 that cross references each method to the applicable TS
Section 3.0 specifications and parameters.
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 TR [topical report] underlying the proposed HNP [Shearon
Harris Nuclear Power Plant] methodology has been reviewed and
approved by the NRC for use in determining core operating limits and
for evaluation of LBLOCA [large break loss-of-coolant accident]. The
core operating limits to be developed using the new methodologies
for HNP will be established in accordance with the applicable
limitations as documented in the NRC SE [safety evaluation]. In the
April 9, 2003, NRC SE, the NRC concluded that the S-RELAP5 RLBLOCA
[realistic large break loss-of-coolant accident] methodology is
acceptable for referencing in licensing applications in accordance
with the stated limitations.
The proposed change enables the use of new methodology to re-
analyze a LBLOCA. It does not, by itself, impact the current design
bases. Revised analysis may either result in continued conformance
with design bases or may change the design bases. If design basis
changes result from a revised analysis, the specific design changes
will be evaluated in accordance with HNP design change procedures
and 10 CFR 50.59.
The proposed change does not involve physical changes to any
plant structure, system, or component (SSC). Therefore, the
probability of occurrence for a previously analyzed accident is not
significantly increased.
The consequences of a previously analyzed accident are dependent
on the initial conditions assumed for the analysis, the behavior of
the fission product barriers during the analyzed accident, the
availability and successful functioning of the equipment assumed to
operate in response to the analyzed event, and the setpoints at
which these actions are initiated.
[[Page 1517]]
The proposed methodologies will ensure that the plant continues
to meet applicable design and safety analyses acceptance criteria.
The proposed change does not affect the performance of any equipment
used to mitigate the consequences of an analyzed accident. As a
result, no analysis assumptions are impacted and there are no
adverse effects on the factors that contribute to offsite or onsite
dose as a result of an accident. The proposed change does not affect
setpoints that initiate protective or mitigative actions. The
proposed change ensures that plant SSCs are maintained consistent
with the safety analysis and licensing bases.
Therefore, this amendment does not involve a significant
increase in the probability or consequences of a previously analyzed
accident.
2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of
plant SSCs. No new or different equipment is being installed and no
installed equipment is being operated in a different manner. There
is no change to the parameters within which the plant is normally
operated or in the setpoints that initiate protective or mitigative
actions. As a result, no new failure modes are being introduced.
Therefore, the proposed change will 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.
There is no impact on any margin of safety resulting from the
incorporation of this new TR into the TS or deletion of cross-
reference information from the description of the COLR [core
operating limit report]. If design basis changes result from a
revised analysis that uses these new methodologies, the specific
design changes will be evaluated in accordance with HNP design
change procedures and 10 CFR 50.59. Any potential reduction in the
margin of safety would be evaluated for that specific design change.
Therefore, this amendment 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 10 CFR 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the
amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., Docket No. 50-293, Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station, Plymouth County, Massachusetts
Date of amendment request: October 28, 2011.
Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would
revise Technical Specification (TS) Table 3.2.B to increase the
condensate storage tank low water level setpoint for the interlock to
high-pressure coolant injection (HPCI) pump suction valves. The
proposed amendment would also correct typographical errors in TS
numbering and referencing that were introduced in previous license
amendment requests.
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 increasing of the setpoint for the Condensate Storage Tank
(CST) low water level High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System
automatic suction transfer to the Suppression Pool is not a
precursor to any accident previously evaluated. The CST is not
utilized to mitigate the consequences of any accident previously
evaluated. The increase in the setpoint provides for HPCI pump
performance with the required flow to mitigate the accident
conditions. The proposed corrections to typographical errors
incurred in the prior License Amendments provide correct references
to the applicable existing Specifications, which is an
administrative change.
The proposed changes do not involve a change to the safety
function of the HPCI system operation. The proposed TS revision
involves no significant changes to the operation of any systems or
components in normal or accident operating conditions.
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.
The increasing of the setpoint for the Condensate Storage Tank
(CST) low water level High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System
automatic suction transfer to the Suppression Pool is not a
precursor to any accident previously evaluated. The CST is not
utilized to mitigate the consequences of any accident previously
evaluated. The increase in the setpoint provides for HPCI pump
performance with the required flow to mitigate the accident
conditions. The proposed corrections to typographical errors
incurred in the prior License Amendments provide correct references
to the applicable existing Specifications, which is an
administrative change.
The proposed changes do not change the safety function of the
HPCI and RCIC [reactor core isolation cooling] systems. There is no
alteration to the parameters within which the plant is normally
operated. The increase in the setpoint is not a precursor to new or
different kinds of accidents and do not initiate new or different
kinds of accidents. The impact of these changes have been analyzed
and found to be acceptable within the design limits and plant
operating procedures. As a result, no new failure modes are being
introduced.
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 change involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety?
Response: No.
The margin of safety is established through the design of the
plant structures, systems, and components, the parameters within
which the plant is operated and the establishment of the setpoints
for the actuation of equipment relied upon to respond to an event
and design basis accidents. The proposed change increases the
setpoint at which protective actions are initiated, but does not
change the requirements governing operation or availability of
safety equipment assumed to operate to preserve the margin of
safety. The corrections to the typographical errors introduced in
prior License Amendments do not impact the safety margin.
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 10 CFR 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the
amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC, Docket Nos. 50-373 and 50-374, LaSalle
County Station, Unit 2, LaSalle County, Illinois
Date of amendment request: October 26, 2011.
Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment revises
license condition 2.C.(32) to require the installation of NETCO-SNAP-
IN[supreg] inserts to be completed no later than December 31, 2012, for
LaSalle County Station (LSCS) Unit 2. In addition, license condition
2.C.(31) is revised to apply until March 31, 2012, and a new license
condition 2.C.(34) is being
[[Page 1518]]
proposed to prohibit fuel storage after March 31, 2012, in spent fuel
pool (SFP) storage rack cells that have not been upgraded with the
NETCO-SNAP-IN[supreg] inserts.
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 proposed change revises the LSCS Unit 2 Operating License to
accelerate the timeline for installation of the NETCO-SNAP-
IN[supreg] inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP, and limit the time period
under which BORAFLEX\TM\ is credited as the neutron absorbing
material in the Unit 2 SFP. There are no changes to the SFP
criticality analysis associated with the proposed change. The SFP
criticality analysis was previously approved by the NRC and
continues to demonstrate that the effective neutron multiplication
factor, Keff, is less than or equal to 0.95 if the SFP is fully
flooded with unborated water. No physical changes to the plant are
proposed, no new plant equipment is being installed, and there are
no changes to the manner in which the plant is operated. Rather, the
proposed change is administrative because it involves accelerating
the timeline for installing the NETCO-SNAP-IN[supreg] inserts and
limiting the time period under which BORAFLEX\TM\ is credited as the
neutron absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP.
The probability that a fuel assembly would be dropped is
unchanged by the proposed change. These events involve failures of
administrative controls, human performance, and equipment failures
that are unaffected by the proposed change. The proposed change does
not result in a significant increase in the consequence of an
accident previously analyzed. The criticality analysis that
demonstrates adequate margin to criticality for spent fuel storage
rack cells with rack inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP, and adequate
criticality margin for assemblies accidentally dropped onto the
spent fuel storage racks, is not being changed. The consequences of
dropping a fuel assembly onto any other fuel assembly or other
structure are unaffected by the proposed change.
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.
The proposed change revises the LSCS Unit 2 Operating License to
accelerate the timeline for installation of the NETCO-SNAP-
IN[supreg] inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP, and limit the time period
under which BORAFLEX\TM\ is credited as the neutron absorbing
material in the Unit 2 SFP. There are no changes to the SFP
criticality analysis associated with the proposed change. No
physical changes to the plant are proposed, and there are no changes
to the manner in which the plant is operated. Rather, the proposed
change is administrative because it involves accelerating the
timeline for installing the NETCO-SNAP-IN[supreg] inserts and
limiting the time period under which BORAFLEX\TM\ is credited as the
neutron absorbing material in the Unit 2 SFP.
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 revises the LSCS Unit 2 Operating License to
accelerate the timeline for installation of the NETCO-SNAP-
IN[supreg] inserts in the LSCS Unit 2 SFP, and limit the time period
under which BORAFLEX\TM\ is credited as the neutron absorbing
material in the Unit 2 SFP. Plant safety margins are established
through limiting conditions for operation, limiting safety system
settings, and safety limits specified in Technical Specifications.
The proposed change does not alter these established safety margins.
For SFP criticality, the required safety margin is 5% including a
conservative margin to account for engineering and manufacturing
uncertainties. The proposed change does not alter the criticality
analysis for the SFP and does not affect the SFP criticality safety
margin.
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
requested amendments involve no significant hazards consideration.

FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, et al., Docket Nos. 50-334 and
50-412, Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (BVPS-1 and 2),
Beaver County, Pennsylvania
Date of amendment request: May 27, 2011.
Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would
modify Technical Specifications (TSs) to allow the BVPS-1 containment
spray additive, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to be replaced by sodium
tetraborate (NaTB). Also, an administrative change to the BVPS-2
license is required.
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.
Use of NaTB in lieu of NaOH would not involve a significant
increase in probability of a previously evaluated accident because
the containment spray additive is not an initiator of any analyzed
accident. The NaTB would be stored and delivered by a passive method
that does not have potential to affect plant operations. Any
existing NaOH delivery system equipment which remains in place but
is removed from service would meet existing seismic and electrical
requirements. Therefore the change in additive, including removal of
NaOH equipment from service, would not result in any failure modes
that could initiate an accident.
The spray additive is used to mitigate the consequences of a
LOCA [loss-of-coolant accident]. Use of NaTB as an additive in lieu
of NaOH would not involve a significant increase in the consequences
of a previously evaluated accident because the amount of NaTB
specified in the proposed TS would achieve a pH of 7 or greater,
consistent with the current licensing basis. This pH is sufficient
to achieve long-term retention of iodine by the containment sump
fluid for the purpose of reducing accident related radiation dose
following a LOCA.
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.
Regarding the proposed use of NaTB in lieu of NaOH, the NaTB
would be stored and delivered by a passive method that does not have
potential to affect plant operations. Any existing NaOH delivery
system equipment that is removed from service would meet existing
seismic and electrical requirements. Hydrogen generation would not
be significantly impacted by the change.
Therefore, no new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident
initiators would be introduced by the proposed change, and it would
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.
Since the quantity of NaTB specified in the amended TS would
reduce the potential for undesirable chemical effects while
achieving radiation dose reductions, corrosion control and hydrogen
generation effects that are comparable to NaOH, the proposed change
does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The
primary function of an additive is to reduce LOCA consequences by
[[Page 1519]]
controlling the amount of iodine fission products released to
containment atmosphere from reactor coolant accumulating in the sump
during a LOCA. Because the amended [TS] would achieve a pH of 7 or
greater using NaTB, dose related safety margins would not be
significantly reduced. Use of NaTB reduces the potential for
undesirable chemical effects that could interfere with recirculation
flow through the sump strainers. Any existing NaOH delivery system
equipment that remains in place but is removed from service would
meet existing seismic and electrical requirements and would not
interfere with operation of the existing containment or containment
spray system.
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.

NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC, Docket No. 50-443, Seabrook Station, Unit
1, Rockingham County, New Hampshire
Date of amendment request: November 17, 2011.
Description of amendment request: The proposed change would revise
the applicability of the figures in the Technical Specifications for
the reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure-temperature limits and the
cold overpressure protection setpoints. The proposed change revises the
applicability of the figures from 20 effective full-power years (EFPY)
to 23.7 EFPY.
Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration (NSHC)
determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has
provided its analysis of the issue of NSHC, which is presented below:
1. The proposed change does not involve a significant increase
in the probability or consequences of an accident previously
evaluated.
The proposed change does not impact the physical function of
plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs) or the manner in
which SSCs perform their design function. The proposed change
neither adversely affects accident initiators or precursors, nor
alters design assumptions. The proposed change does not alter or
prevent the ability of operable SSCs to perform their intended
function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within
assumed acceptance limits. The change does not affect the integrity
of the RCS pressure boundary. The proposed change to the
applicability of the RCS pressure-temperature limits and the cold
overpressure protection setpoints continues to protect the integrity
of the RCS pressure boundary.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant
increase in the probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated.
2. The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new
or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
The proposed change, which revises the applicability of the RCS
pressure-temperature limits and the cold overpressure protection
setpoints, will not impact the accident analysis. The change does
not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or
different type of equipment will be installed), a significant change
in the method of plant operation, or new operator actions. The
proposed change will not introduce failure modes that could result
in a new accident. The RCS pressure-temperature limits and the cold
overpressure protection setpoints are not accident initiators. The
change does not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not 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 the margin of safety.
Margin of safety is associated with confidence in the ability of
the fission product barriers (i.e., fuel cladding, reactor coolant
system pressure boundary, and containment structure) to limit the
level of radiation dose to the public. The proposed change does not
involve a significant change in the method of plant operation, and
no accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes.
Additionally, the proposed changes will not relax any criteria used
to establish safety limits and will not relax any safety system
settings. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected
by this change. The proposed change will not result in plant
operation in a configuration outside the design basis. The proposed
change does not adversely affect systems that respond to safely
shutdown the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown
condition. The proposed change to the applicability of the RCS
pressure-temperature limits and the cold overpressure protection
setpoints continues to protect the integrity of the RCS pressure
boundary.
Therefore, these 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 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the
amendment request involves NSHC.
