| Event Text PART 21 REPORTABLE CONDITION AND 60-DAY INTERIM REPORT NOTIFICATION: NON-CONSERVATIVE SAFETY LIMIT MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO
Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) and GE Nuclear Energy (GENE) have determined that the current GNF process for determination of the Safety Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR) can result in a non-conservative SLMCPR. GENE has historically used a non-conservative SLMCPR impact of 0.01 as the threshold for reportability under 10CFR21. A preliminary screening evaluation has been completed for all plants operating with a SLMCPR calculated by GNF to determine those that have a nonconservative impact of 0.01 or greater. Verification has been completed for those plants that the screen showed to have a non-conservative SLMCPR impact of 0.01 or greater. Verification has not been completed for the plants that the screen showed had an impact of less than 0.01 or were unaffected, thus requiring a 60-Day Interim Report notification pending verification completion.
The plants for which GNF calculates the SLMCPR are identified [below]. Those plants for which the preliminary screen indicated that the current SLMCPR is unaffected are identified as a 60-Day Interim Report. Upon completion of verification (assuming the results of the screen are confirmed) the status of these plants will be changed to Not Reportable. GENE will provide a follow-up report to the NRC by September 29, 2004. The plants for which the current SLMCPR is non-conservative by 0.01 or greater are identified as a Reportable Condition under 10CFR21.21(d). These plants will take action to address the Reportable Condition.
GNF has notified all plants that have been confirmed to be affected. The plants that have a non-conservative SLMCPR for current plant operation will take action to mitigate the potential impact. Depending on the specific circumstances, mitigating actions to protect the SLMCPR may include increasing the OLMCPR to assure compliance with the low flow calculated SLMCPR. In some cases sufficient conservatism may exist in the OLMCPR at low flow to bound the increased SLMCPR. Each affected plant will notify the NRC and take appropriate action if their Technical Specifications are affected.
There are no actions necessary for the plants that are unaffected pending completion of verification. If, in the course of verification, GNF determines that there is an impact, the affected utility will be notified immediately. GNF will complete the verification and GENE, will provide a follow-up letter to the NRC by September 29, 2004.
Affected and 60-Day Interim Notification Plants:
60-Day Interim Report: Clinton, Oyster Creek, Brunswick 1, Brunswick 2, Nine Mile Point 2, Fitzpatrick (60-Day interim report for current operation, Reportable Condition for SLMCPR licensing submittal), Pilgrim, Vermont Yankee, Dresden 2, Dresden 3, LaSalle 1, LaSalle 2, Limerick 1, Limerick 2, Peach Bottom 2, Peach Bottom 3, Quad Cities 1, Quad Cities 2, Perry 1, Duane Arnold, Monticello, Hope Creek, Hatch 1, Hatch 2, Browns Ferry 2
Reportable Condition: Nine Mile Point 1, Fermi 2, Fitzpatrick (60-Day interim report for current operation, Reportable Condition for SLMCPR licensing submittal), Cooper.
* * * UPDATE FROM JASON POST (VIA FAX) TO CROUCH @ 2354 HRS. EST ON 09/29/04 * * *
In part, the update reads:
"The evaluation for the potentially unaffected plants has now been completed. The results of the screening calculation have been confirmed: this is not a reportable condition for the plants that were previously identified as a 60-Day Interim Report notification in MFN 04-081" (See above).
