II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of 

amendments to Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. NPF–72 and 

NPF–77, issued to Exelon Generation 

Company, LLC, for operation of the 

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, 

located in Will County, Illinois. 

The proposed amendments would 

change TS SR 3.7.9.2 to allow a UHS 

temperature of less than or equal to 

102.8 °F through September 30, 2021. 

Before any issuance of the proposed 

license amendments, the NRC will need 

to make the findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and NRC’s regulations. 

The NRC has made a proposed 

determination that the license 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration 

(NSHC). Under the NRC’s regulations in 

§ 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. As required by 10 CFR 

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its 

analysis of the issue of NSHC, 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 likelihood of a malfunction of any 

systems, structures, or components (SSCs) 

supported by the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) 

is not significantly increased by increasing 

the allowable UHS temperature from ≤102 °F 

to ≤102.8 °F. The UHS provides a heat sink 

for process and operating heat from safety 

related components during a transient or 

accident, as well as during normal operation. 

The proposed change does not make any 

physical changes to any plant SSCs, nor does 

it alter any of the assumptions or conditions 

upon which the UHS is designed. The UHS 

is not an initiator of any analyzed accident. 

All equipment supported by the UHS has 

been evaluated to demonstrate that their 

performance and operation remains as 

described in the Updated Final Safety 

Analysis Report (UFSAR) with no increase in 

probability of failure or malfunction. 

The SSCs credited to mitigate the 

consequences of postulated design basis 

accidents remain capable of performing their 

design basis function. The change in 

maximum UHS temperature has been 

evaluated using the UFSAR described 

methods to demonstrate that the UHS 

remains capable of removing normal 

operating and post-accident heat. The change 

in UHS temperature and resulting 

containment response following a postulated 

design basis accident has been demonstrated 

to not be impacted. Additionally, all the UHS 

supported equipment, credited in the 

accident analysis to mitigate an accident, has 

been shown to continue to perform their 

design function as described in the UFSAR. 

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 does not create the 

possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated. The proposed change does not 

introduce any new modes of plant operation, 

change the design function of any SSC, or 

change the mode of operation of any SSC. 

There are no new equipment failure modes 

or malfunctions created as affected SSCs 

continue to operate in the same manner as 

previously evaluated and have been 

evaluated to perform as designed at the 

increased UHS temperature and as assumed 

in the accident analysis. Additionally, 

accident initiators remain as described in the 

UFSAR and no new accident initiators are 

postulated as a result of the increase in UHS 

temperature. 

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 proposed change continues to ensure 

that the maximum temperature of the cooling 

water supplied to the plant SSCs during a 

UHS design basis event remains within the 

evaluated equipment limits and capabilities 

assumed in the accident analysis. The 

proposed change does not result in any 

changes to plant equipment function, 

including setpoints and actuations. All 

equipment will function as designed in the 

plant safety analysis without any physical 

modifications. The proposed change does not 

alter a limiting condition for operation, 

limiting safety system setting, or safety limit 

specified in the Technical Specifications. 

The proposed change does not adversely 

impact the UHS inventory required to be 

available for the UFSAR described design 

basis accident involving the worst case 30- 

day period including losses for evaporation 

and seepage to support safe shutdown and 

cooldown of both Braidwood Station units. 

Additionally, the structural integrity of the 

UHS is not impacted and remains acceptable 

following the change, thereby ensuring that 

the assumptions for both UHS temperature 

and inventory remain valid. 

Therefore, since there is no adverse impact 

of this proposed change on the Braidwood 

Station safety analysis, there is no reduction 

in the margin of safety of the plant. 

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 license 

amendment request involves NSHC. 

The NRC is seeking public comments 

on this proposed determination that the 

license amendment request involves 

NSHC. 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 the 60-day notice period. 

However, if circumstances change 

during the notice period, such that 

failure to act in a timely way would 

result, for example, in derating or 

shutdown of the facility, the 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before the expiration of the 

notice period, provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. The final determination 

will consider all public and State 

comments received. If the Commission 

takes 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. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take this action will occur very 

infrequently.

III. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult 10 CFR 2.309. If 

a petition is filed, the presiding officer 

will rule on the petition and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing’’) section of this 

document. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). 

If a hearing is requested and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC, 

which will serve to establish when the 

hearing is held. If the final 

determination is that the amendment 

request involves NSHC, the Commission 

may issue the amendment and make it 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the request for a hearing. Any hearing 

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 the 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. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

For information about filing a petition 

and about participation by a person not 

a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://

adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/

html#participate. 

IV. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. 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, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as discussed below, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.

html. 

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 (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (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 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 website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is 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 EFiling system timestamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

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 document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.

html, by email to MSHD.Resource@

nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 1–866– 

672–7640. The NRC Electronic Filing 

Help Desk is available between 9 a.m. 

and 6 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday 

through Friday, excluding government 

holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have 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 stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as described 

above, click ‘‘cancel’’ when the link 

requests certificates and you will be 

automatically directed to the NRC’s 

electronic hearing dockets where you 

will be able to access any publicly
