NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–286]

Power Authority of the State of New

York (Indian Point Nuclear Generating

Unit No. 3); Amendment to Exemption

I

The Power Authority of the State of

New York (the licensee) is the holder of

Facility Operating License No. DPR–64,

which authorizes operation of the

Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit

No. 3 (IP3). The license provides that

the licensee is subject to all rules,

regulations, and orders of the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (the

Commission) now or hereafter in effect.

The facility consists of a pressurizedwater reactor at the licensee’s site

located in Westchester County, New

York.

II

By letter dated October 1, 1996, as

supplemented December 5, 1996, the

licensee requested an amendment to the

Technical Specifications (TSs) and an

amendment to an existing exemption

issued on February 19, 1993. The TS

and existing exemption allow the

licensee to conduct Type C containment

isolation valve leak tests (Type C tests

or LLRTs) at intervals up to 30 months

as opposed to the 2-year interval

specified by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix

J, Paragraph III.D.3. The requested

amendments to the TS and to this

exemption would allow a one-time

extension of 41⁄2 months to the Type C

test interval.

The TS and the existing exemption

allow the licensee to operate with a 24-

month fuel cycle. Due to a lengthy

outage period, the current fuel cycle has

been extended by several months. The

amendments to the TS and to the

exemption would allow the licensee to

complete the current fuel cycle without

another outage. The next refueling

outage is scheduled to begin in April

1997.

III

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the

Commission may, upon application by

any interested person or upon its own

initiative, grant exemptions from the

requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1)

the exemptions are authorized by law,

will not present any undue risk to

public health and safety, and are

consistent with the common defense

and security and (2) when special

circumstances are present. Special

circumstances are present whenever,

according to 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii),

‘‘Application of the regulation in the

particular circumstance would not serve

the underlying purpose of the rule or is

not necessary to achieve the underlying

purpose of the rule. * * *’’

The underlying purpose of the

requirement to perform Type C tests at

intervals not to exceed 2 years is to

ensure that any potential leakage

pathways through the containment

boundary are identified within a time

span that is short enough to detect

significant degradation and long enough

to allow the tests to be conducted

during scheduled refueling outages.

This interval was originally published

in Appendix J when refueling cycles

were conducted at approximately

annual intervals and has not been

changed to reflect 2-year operating

cycles; therefore, the staff issued

Generic Letter 91–04, ‘‘Changes in

Technical Specification Surveillance

Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month

Fuel Cycle.’’ This generic letter provides

guidance to licensees on how to prepare

requests for TS amendments and

exemptions that are needed to

accommodate a 24-month cycle.

Enclosure 3 to Generic Letter 91–04

noted that two issues should be

addressed when justifying the extended

Type C test interval: (1) a possible

reduction in the combined leakage limit

for Type B and Type C leakage tests, and

(2) the basis for concluding that the

containment leakage rate would be

maintained within the acceptable limits

with an extended test interval. The

licensee’s letters of July 17, 1992, and

December 23, 1992, in which it applied

for the existing exemption, addressed

both of these issues. The licensee’s letter

of December 5, 1996, addressed both

issues in light of the 41⁄2 month

extension.

The first issue is a reduction in the

combined containment penetration and

isolation valve leakage rate limit for

Type B and Type C tests that increases

the margin to the maximum allowable

leakage rate. The maximum allowable

leakage rate, which is referred to as La,

is specified in the facility’s TS. The

acceptance criterion for Type B and C

tests is that the combined leakage rate

shall be less than 0.60 La. This

constitutes a margin of 0.40 La (40

percent of La). Enclosure 3 to Generic

Letter 91–04 states that in order to

justify an exemption to the Appendix J

requirements and extend Type C test

intervals up to 30 months, licensees

should either (1) use leakage test data to

demonstrate that the margin of 0.40 La

will not be reduced as a result of the test

interval increase or (2) propose an

acceptance criterion limit of less than

0.60 La as a TS change. The licensee has

proposed an acceptance criterion limit

of 0.50 La for IP3. This constitutes a 25

percent increase in margin (40 percent

to 50 percent). The staff has reviewed

the proposed reduction in the combined

leakage rate limit to 0. 50 La and finds

it is consistent with the

recommendations of Enclosure 3 to

Generic Letter 91–04 and is, therefore,

acceptable. A one-time extension of the

test interval by 41⁄2 months does not

change the staff’s determination in this

matter.

The second issue is the basis for

concluding that containment leakage

will be maintained within acceptable

limits with an extended test interval. At

the time of issuance of the existing

amendment, ten LLRTs had been

performed during the lifetime of IP3.
