II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility 
Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant 
Hazards Consideration Determination

    The Commission has made a proposed determination that the following 
amendment requests involve no significant hazards consideration. Under 
the Commission's regulations in Sec.  50.92 of Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), this means that operation of the facility 
in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a 
significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident 
previously evaluated, or (2) create the possibility of a new or 
different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 
(3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The basis 
for this proposed determination for each amendment request is shown 
below.
    The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed 
determination. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of 
publication of this notice will be considered in making any final 
determination.
    Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the 
expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The 
Commission may issue the license amendment before expiration of the 60-
day period provided that its final determination is that the amendment 
involves no significant hazards consideration. In addition, the 
Commission may issue the amendment prior to the expiration of the 30-
day comment period should circumstances change during the 30-day 
comment period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, 
for example in derating or shutdown of the facility. Should the 
Commission take action prior to the expiration of either the comment 
period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a 
notice of issuance. Should the Commission make a final No Significant 
Hazards Consideration Determination, any hearing will take place after 
issuance. The Commission expects that the need to take this action will 
occur very infrequently.

A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene

    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 or 
combined license. Requests for a hearing and a petition for leave to 
intervene shall be filed in accordance with the Commission's ``Agency 
Rules of Practice and Procedure'' 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 20852. The 
NRC's regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Library on 
the NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene is 
filed by the above date, the Commission or a presiding officer 
designated by the Commission or by the Chief Administrative Judge of 
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, will rule on the request 
and/or petition; and the Secretary or the Chief Administrative Judge of 
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of a hearing 
or an appropriate order.
    As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to intervene 
shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in 
the proceeding, and how that interest may be affected by the results of 
the proceeding. The petition should specifically explain the reasons 
why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the 
following general 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

[[Page 52803]]

would take place before the issuance of any amendment unless the 
Commission finds an imminent danger to the health or safety of the 
public, in which case it will issue an appropriate order or rule under 
10 CFR part 2.

B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)

    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's 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 [email protected], 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 http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.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 http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants 
may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but 
should note that the 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's 
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 http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
    Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a 
docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in 
Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 
available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the 
documents are submitted through the 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's 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 NRC'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's public 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by email to 
[email protected], 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 the 
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at 
http://ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the 
Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants are requested not to 
include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, 
home addresses, or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC 
regulation or other law requires submission of such information. 
However, in some instances, a request to intervene will require 
including information on local residence in order to demonstrate a 
proximity assertion of interest in the proceeding. 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. Requests for hearing, 
petitions for leave to intervene, and motions for leave to file new or 
amended contentions that are filed after the 60-day deadline will not 
be entertained absent a determination by the presiding officer

[[Page 52804]]

that the filing demonstrates good cause by satisfying the three factors 
in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(iii).
    For further details with respect to these license amendment 
applications, see the application for amendment which is available for 
public inspection in ADAMS and at the NRC's PDR. For additional 
direction on accessing information related to this document, see the 
``Obtaining Information and Submitting Comments'' section of this 
document.

Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., Docket No. 50-423, Millstone Power 
Station, Unit No. 3 (MPS3), New London County, Connecticut

    Date of amendment request: May 8, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15134A244.
    Description of amendment request: The amendment would revise the 
Technical Specifications (TSs) to enable the use of Dominion nuclear 
safety and reload core design methods for MPS3 and address the issues 
identified in three Westinghouse communication documents. The amendment 
would also update approved reference methodologies in TS 6.9.1.6.b.
    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 any accident previously 
evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The Dominion analysis methods do not make any contribution to 
the potential accident initiators and thus do not increase the 
probability of any accident previously evaluated. The use of the 
approved Dominion analysis methods will not increase the probability 
of an accident because plant systems, structures, and components 
(SSC) will not be affected or operated in a different manner, and 
system interfaces will not change.
    Since the applicable safety analysis and nuclear core design 
acceptance criteria will be satisfied when the Dominion analysis 
methods are applied to MPS3, the use of the approved Dominion 
analysis methods does not increase the potential consequences of any 
accident previously evaluated. The use of the approved Dominion 
methods will not result in a significant impact on normal operating 
plant releases, and will not increase the predicted radiological 
consequences of postulated accidents described in the FSAR [final 
safety analysis report]. The proposed resolution of Westinghouse 
notification documents NSAL-09-5, Rev. 1, 06-1C-03 and NSAL-15-1 is 
intended to address deficiencies identified within the existing MPS3 
Technical Specifications to return them to their as designed 
function and does not result in actions that would increase the 
probability of any accident previously evaluated.
    Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant 
increase in the probability or the consequences of any accident 
previously evaluated.
    2. Does the proposed [amendment] create the possibility of a new 
or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The use of Dominion analysis methods and the Dominion 
statistical design limit (SDL) for fuel departure from nucleate 
boiling ratio (DNBR) and fuel critical heat flux (CHF) does not 
impact any of the applicable core design criteria. All pertinent 
licensing basis limits and acceptance criteria will continue to be 
met. Demonstrated adherence to these limits and acceptance criteria 
precludes new challenges to SSCs that might introduce a new type of 
accident. All design and performance criteria will continue to be 
met and no new single failure mechanisms will be created. The use of 
the Dominion methods does not involve any alteration to plant 
equipment or procedures that might introduce any new or unique 
operational modes or accident precursors. The proposed resolution of 
Westinghouse notification documents NSAL-09-5, Rev. 1, 06-IC-03 and 
NSAL-15-1 does not involve the alteration of plant equipment or 
introduce unique operational modes or accident precursors.
    Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create [the 
possibility of] a new or different kind of accident from any 
accident previously evaluated.
    3. Does the proposed [amendment] involve a significant reduction 
in the margin of safety?
    Response: No.
    Nuclear core design and safety analysis acceptance criteria will 
continue to be satisfied with the application of Dominion methods. 
Meeting the analysis acceptance criteria and limits ensure that the 
margin of safety is not significantly reduced. Nuclear core design 
and safety analysis acceptance criteria will continue to be 
satisfied with the application of Dominion methods. In particular, 
use of [the model] VIPRE-D with the proposed safety limits provides 
at least a 95% probability at a 95% confidence level that DNBR will 
not occur (the 95/95 DNBR criterion). The required DNBR margin of 
safety for MPS3, which is the margin between the 95/95 DNBR 
criterion and clad failure, is therefore not reduced. The proposed 
resolution of Westinghouse notification documents NSAL-09-5, Rev. 1, 
06-IC-03 and NSAL-15-1 does not propose actions that would result in 
a significant reduction in margin to safety.
    Therefore, the proposed 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.

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, Docket Nos. 50-413 and 50-414, Catawba 
Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, York County, South Carolina

    Date of amendment request: June 12, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15168A009.
    Description of amendment request: The proposed amendments would 
modify Technical Specification Table 3.4.1-1. Specifically, the 
proposed change would modify the minimum required Reactor Coolant 
System total flow rates for Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2.
    Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration 
determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has 
provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards 
consideration, which is presented below:

    1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in 
the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The reduction in Catawba Unit 1 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) 
minimum measured flow from 388,000 gpm to 384,000 gpm and the 
reduction in Catawba Unit 2 RCS minimum measured flow from 390,000 
gpm to 387,000 gpm will not change the probability of actuation of 
any Engineered Safeguard Feature or any other device. The 
consequences of previously analyzed accidents have been found to be 
insignificantly different when these reduced flow rates are assumed. 
The system transient response is not affected by the initial RCS 
flow assumption unless the initial assumption is so low as to impair 
the steady state core cooling capability or the steam generator heat 
transfer capability. This is clearly not the case with the small 
proposed reductions in RCS flow. The proposed changes will not 
result in the modification of any system interface that would 
increase the likelihood of an accident since these events are 
independent of the proposed changes. The proposed amendments will 
not change, degrade, or prevent actions or alter any assumptions 
previously made in evaluating the radiological consequences of an 
accident described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report 
(UFSAR).
    Therefore, the proposed amendments do not result in the 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

[[Page 52805]]

accident from any accident previously evaluated?
    Response: No.
    These changes do not create the possibility of a new or 
different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. 
No new accident causal mechanisms are created as a result of NRC 
approval of this amendment request. No changes are being made to the 
facility which would introduce any new accident causal mechanisms. 
This amendment request does not impact any plant systems that are 
accident initiators.
    3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction 
in the margin of safety?
    Response: No.
    Implementation of these amendments would not involve a 
significant reduction in the margin of safety. The decreases in 
Catawba Unit 1 and Unit 2 RCS minimum measured flow have been 
analyzed and found to have an insignificant effect on the applicable 
transient analyses as described in the UFSAR. Margin of safety is 
related to the confidence of the fission product barriers being able 
to perform their accident mitigating functions. These fission 
product barriers include the fuel cladding, the RCS, and the 
containment. The proposed amendments will have no impact upon the 
ability of these barriers to function as designed. Consequently, no 
safety margins will be impacted.

    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 Operations, Inc., Docket No. 50-382, Waterford Steam Electric 
Station, Unit 3 (WF3), St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

    Date of amendment request: June 17, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15170A121.
    Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would 
modify the WF3 technical specifications (TSs) by relocating specific 
surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program.
    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, with NRC staff revisions provided in [brackets], which 
is presented below:

    1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in 
the probability or consequences of any accident previously 
evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The proposed change relocates the specified frequencies for 
periodic surveillance requirements to licensee control under a new 
Surveillance Frequency Control Program [SFCP]. Surveillance 
frequencies are not an initiator to any accident previously 
evaluated. As a result, the probability of any accident previously 
evaluated is not significantly increased. The systems and components 
required by the technical specifications for which the surveillance 
frequencies are relocated are still required to be operable, meet 
the acceptance criteria for the surveillance requirements, and be 
capable of performing any mitigation function assumed in the 
accident analysis. As a result, the consequences of any accident 
previously evaluated are not significantly increased.
    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 previously evaluated?
    Response: No.
    No new or different accidents result from utilizing the proposed 
change. The changes do not involve a physical alteration of the 
plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be 
installed) or a change in the methods governing normal plant 
operation. In addition, the changes do not impose any new or 
different requirements. The changes do not alter assumptions made in 
the safety analysis. The proposed changes are consistent with the 
safety analysis assumptions and current plant operating practice.
    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 
the margin of safety?
    Response: No.
    The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria 
for systems, structures, and components (SSCs), specified in 
applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by 
the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plant licensing 
basis (including the final safety analysis report and bases to TS), 
since these are not affected by changes to the surveillance 
frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis 
acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. To 
evaluate a change in the relocated surveillance frequency, Entergy 
will perform a probabilistic risk evaluation using the guidance 
contained in NRC approved NEI [Nuclear Energy Institute] 04-10, Rev. 
1, in accordance with the TS SFCP. NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, methodology 
provides reasonable acceptance guidelines and methods for evaluating 
the risk increase of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies

Entergy Operations, Inc., Docket No. 50-382, Waterford Steam Electric 
Station, Unit 3 (WF3), St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

    Date of amendment request: June 29, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15182A152.
    Description of amendment request: The amendment changes the WF3 
Cyber Security Plan (CSP) Implementation Schedule Milestone 8 full 
implementation date and proposes a revision to the existing Physical 
Protection license condition.
    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 to the CSP Implementation Schedule is 
administrative in nature. This change does not alter accident 
analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of 
plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, 
maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does 
not require any plant modifications which affect the performance 
capability of the structures, systems, and components relied upon to 
mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents and has no impact 
on the probability or consequences of an accident previously 
evaluated.
    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 to the CSP Implementation Schedule is 
administrative

[[Page 52806]]

in nature. This proposed change does not alter accident analysis 
assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of plant 
systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, 
modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not require 
any plant modifications which affect the performance capability of 
the structures, systems, and components relied upon to mitigate the 
consequences of postulated accidents and does not create the 
possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident 
previously evaluated.
    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.
    Plant safety margins are established through limiting conditions 
for operation, limiting safety system settings, and safety limits 
specified in the technical specifications. The proposed change to 
the CSP Implementation Schedule is administrative in nature. In 
addition, the milestone date delay for full implementation of the 
CSP has no substantive impact because other measures have been taken 
which provide adequate protection during this period of time. 
Because there is no change to established safety margins as a result 
of this change, the proposed change does not involve a significant 
reduction in a margin of safety.
    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.

Florida Power & Light Company, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251, Turkey 
Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4, Miami-Dade County, Florida

    Date of amendment request: April 16, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15119A222.
    Description of amendment request: The amendments would revise the 
Technical Specifications related to the boric acid tank (BAT) to 
reflect a correction to the instrument uncertainty calculation.
    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.
    Revising the minimum acceptable BAT volume curves for one and 
two unit operation will not increase the probability of occurrence 
of an accident. The proposed revision to Figure 3.1-2 corrects the 
errors identified in the uncertainty calculation for one and two 
unit operation. Revising the minimum acceptable BAT volume curves 
provide better assurance that the BATs will continue to perform 
their required function, thereby ensuring the consequences of 
accidents previously evaluated are not increased.
    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 will not install any new or different 
equipment or modify equipment in the plant. The proposed change will 
not alter the operation or function of structures, systems or 
components. The response of the plant and the operators following a 
design basis accident is unaffected by this change. The proposed 
change does not introduce any new failure modes and the design basis 
of the BATs is maintained at the revised minimum volumes.
    Therefore, the proposed change will 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-
the margin of safety?
    Response: No.
    The proposed change corrects the uncertainty related to BAT 
volume measurement. The proposed minimum acceptable BAT volume 
curves for one unit and two unit operation will provide better 
assurance that adequate shutdown margin is available for any post 
shutdown time. The limits used in the safety analysis are not 
affected.
    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.

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, Docket Nos. 52-027 and 52-028, 
Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS), Units 2 and 3, Fairfield 
County, South Carolina

    Date of amendment request: July 6, 2015. A publicly-available 
version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15188A275.
    Description of amendment request: The proposed change would amend 
Combined License Nos. NPF-93 and NPF-94 for the VCSNS Units 2 and 3. 
The requested amendment proposes to modify the existing feedwater 
controller logic to allow the controller program to respond as required 
to various plant transients while minimizing the potential for false 
actuation. Because, this proposed change requires a departure from Tier 
1 information in the Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 Design Control 
Document (DCD), the licensee also requested an exemption from the 
requirements of the Generic DCD Tier 1 in accordance with 10 CFR 
52.63(b)(1).
    Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration 
determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has 
provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards 
consideration, which is presented below:

    1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in 
the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The proposed changes will modify the control logic for actuation 
of the startup feedwater (SFW) pumps to support their defense-in-
depth function of core decay heat removal. The instrumentation used 
for actuation of the SFW pumps in their defense-in-depth function 
are not initiators of any accident. The proposed control logic uses 
different instrument tag numbers than the current design. The 
instruments used for the actuation of this function exist as a part 
of the current design; therefore this proposed change does not 
require any additional instrumentation. These instruments, to be 
included as part of the Design Reliability Assurance Program (D-
RAP), will be held to the same enhanced quality assurance (QA) 
requirements as the current instruments and therefore neither 
safety, performance, nor reliance will be reduced as a part of this 
change.
    Additionally, the proposed changes do not adversely affect any 
accident initiating event or component failure, thus accidents 
previously evaluated are not adversely affected. In the event of 
loss of offsite power that results in a loss of main feedwater (MFW) 
supply, the SFW pumps automatically supply feedwater to the steam 
generators to cool down the reactor under emergency shutdown 
conditions. The standby source motor control center circuit powers 
each of the two SFW pumps and their

[[Page 52807]]

associated instruments and valves. The pump discharge isolation 
valves are motor-operated and are normally closed and interlocked 
with the SFW pumps. In the event of loss of offsite power, the 
onsite standby power supply diesel generators will power the SFW 
pumps. If both the normal [alternating current] ac power and the 
onsite standby ac power are unavailable, these valves will fail 
``as-is.'' The pump suction header isolation valves are 
pneumatically actuated. The main and startup feedwater system (FWS) 
also has temperature instrumentation in the pump discharge that 
would permit monitoring of the SFW temperature. This proposed change 
therefore has no impact on the ability of the AP1000 plant to cool 
down under emergency shutdown conditions or during a loss of offsite 
power event.
    No function used to mitigate a radioactive material release and 
no radioactive material release source term is involved, thus the 
radiological releases in the accident analyses are not adversely 
affected.
    Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant 
increase in the probability or consequences of an accident 
previously evaluated.
    2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new 
or different kind of accident from any accident previously 
evaluated?
    Response: No.
    The proposed changes will modify the control logic for actuation 
of the startup feedwater (SFW) pumps to support their defense-in-
depth function of core decay heat removal. The instrumentation used 
for actuation of the SFW pumps in their defense-in-depth function 
are not initiators of any accident. The proposed control logic uses 
different instrument tag numbers than the current design. However, 
the instruments used for the actuation of this function already 
exist as a part of the current design and so this change does not 
require any additional instrumentation. These instruments, to be 
included as part of the D-RAP, will be held to the same enhanced QA 
requirements as the current instruments and so neither safety, 
performance, nor reliance will be reduced as a part of this change. 
Furthermore, since the D-RAP ensures consistency with the 
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), the changes do not impact the 
PRA. The proposed changes would not introduce a new failure mode, 
fault, or sequence of events that could result in a radioactive 
material release. The proposed change does not alter the design, 
configuration, or method of operation of the plant beyond standard 
functional capabilities of the equipment.
    Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the 
possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident 
previously evaluated.
    3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction 
in a margin of safety?
    Response: No.
    The proposed changes will modify the control logic for actuation 
of the startup feedwater (SFW) pumps to support their defense-in-
depth function of core decay heat removal. These changes will have 
no negative impacts on the safety margin associated with the design 
functions of the SFW pumps. The proposed logic changes will only 
resolve the current conditions associated with undesired start up 
signals for the SFW pumps. The changes set forth in this amendment 
correct the actuation logic of the SFW pumps, so that the feedwater 
controller logic is now aligned with the guidance provided in the 
Advanced Light Water Reactor Utility Requirements Document (ALWR 
URD). In addition, the operation of the startup feedwater system 
function is not credited to mitigate a design-basis accident. Since 
there is no change to an existing design basis limit/criterion, 
design function, or regulatory criterion no margin of safety is 
reduced.
    Therefore, the proposed amendment 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.
