Reference:

1) Letter from Jeffrie Keenan (PSEG Nuclear LLC) to USNRC, May 8, 2008 This letter provides information in accordance with the subject License Conditions.

License Condition 2.C.(21) requires: PSEG Nuclear LLC shall provide the Level 1 main steam safety relief valve vibration acceptance criteria to the NRC staff prior to increasing power above 3339 MWt.Attachment 1 to this letter provides the acceptance criteria.License Condition 2.C.(22)2.g requires: PSEG Nuclear LLC shall submit the flow-induced vibration related portions of the EPU startup test procedure to the NRC staff, including methodology for updating the limit curves, prior to initial power ascension above 3339 MWt.PSEG provided a description of the methodology used to develop the main steam line (MSL) strain gage limit curves for power ascension in Reference

1. Based on subsequent discussions with the NRC staff, PSEG will not use scale model test predictions (i.e., bump-up factors) in developing strain gage limit curves.74 LR-N08-0123 May 19, 2008 Page 2 The limit curves provided in Attachment 2 are based on current in-plant strain gage data and the minimum stress ratio calculated from the strain gage data. If required during power ascension, the method for updating the limit curves will follow the approach described below:* Collect in-plant MSL strain gage data.* Calculate the stress ratio at the limiting steam dryer locations (loads will be based on Acoustic Circuit Model (ACM) Rev. 4, and stresses will be determined using the HCGS harmonic domain finite element model methodology)." Generate revised limit curves based on the lowest calculated alternating stress ratio.Biases and uncertainties in the updated limit curves will be those described in Attachment
2. The revised stress ratios will be the most limiting determined by the frequency shift on the loads between plus 10% and minus 10%. In-plant acoustic signal frequencies may change slightly (< 1 Hz) with increased steam flow. While the observed changes have negligible impact on the dryer structure, they can result in an unnecessary challenge to the limit curve. To address the shift of in-plant data, the HCGS limit curves may be shifted to the right or to the left less than or equal to 1 Hz.The limit curve criteria are considered satisfied as long as the signal falls under the shifted limited curve. A similar approach was used during power ascension testing for Vermont Yankee.Attachment 2 contains information proprietary to Continuum Dynamics, Inc. (C.D.I.).C.D.I. requests that the proprietary information in Attachment 2 be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4).

An affidavit supporting this request is included with Attachment

2. A non-proprietary version of the document in Attachment 2 is provided in Attachment 3.License Condition 2.C.(22)3 requires: PSEG Nuclear LLC shall prepare the EPU startup test procedure to include: a. the stress limit curves to be applied for evaluating steam dryer performance;
b. specific hold points and their duration during EPU power ascension;
c. activities to be accomplished during hold points;d. plant parameters to be monitored;
e. inspections and walk downs to be conducted for steam, FW, and condensate systems and components during the hold points;f. methods to be used to trend plant parameters; LR-N08-0123 May 19, 2008 Page 3 g. acceptance criteria for monitoring and trending plant parameters, and conducting the walkdowns and inspections;

Main steam safety relief valve (SRV) vibration acceptance criteria were developed from detailed finite element analysis of the SRVs.The acceptance criteria are to ensure: " The SRV will not open inadvertently causing leakage," The pilot internals will not sustain wear-related damage to the point of inoperability," The valve body will not sustain damage due to high cycle fatigue, and* The pre-load on the bolts attaching the Solenoid Operated Valve (SOV) to the pilot housing will not relax resulting in loss of instrument air.To supplement the analytical effort, PSEG measured the vibration on the SRVs at current licensed thermal power (CLTP) conditions in the power ascension to 3339 MWt in November 2007. These measurements provide a baseline for comparison of vibration at EPU conditions.

In addition, resonant frequencies of the SRVs as installed in the plant were identified.

The Level 1 vibration acceptance criterion is 1.0 g (peak) at any applicable resonant frequency.

.1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this Test Procedure is to confirm acceptable plant performance following EPU-related changes made in Refueling Outage (RF) 14, and for operation at an extended power up-rate (EPU) power level of 3723 MWth in accordance with License Change Request H05-01 and DCP 80048085, EPU Implementation.

Administrative controls for EPU implementation and for the commencement of power ascension activities following RF14 are also provided.This Test Procedure provides step by step guidance and verification for performing Power Ascension Testing requirements for Extended Power Uprate (EPU) conditions.

The test is performed in two parts; 1) during startup and power ascension following RF14 testing several EPU-related BOP changes made, and 2) during power ascension to EPU conditions following the approval of LCR H05-01. The Test Procedure supplements HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0003(Q), Startup from Cold Shutdown to Rated Power and HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0006(Q), Power Changes During Operation, to provide direction to maneuver the plant from initial startup to 3723 MWth (97% LPU), the final target power level.First and foremost is the safety of the reactor, nuclear plant and personnel.

This procedure was written with this specifically in mind, providing the necessary criteria, instructions and precautions to successfully execute the Power Ascension Testing for EPU conditions.

As such, performance of this procedure is considered an Infrequent Plant.Activity (IPA) in accordance with station procedures requiring the highest level of Senior Line Management involvement (Attachment 15).Hope Creek Page 2 of 188 Rev. 3 HC.OP-FT.ZZ-0004(Q) 1.1 Scope This procedure serves to document the plant physical modifications, instrumentation setpoint changes, administrative requirements, and prerequisite testing necessary to startup following EPU-related changes made in RF14, and to implement EPU as well as establish power ascension test acceptance criteria to raise reactor power above 3339 MWth to 3723 MWth.1.1.1. As defined in EPU Project Task Report T1 005: Startup Test Specifications (VTD 430069(002))

and the HCGS Power Ascension Test Plan, this procedure's objective is to:* Maintain control of and knowledge of the reactor coolant chemistry and radiochemistry at extended uprate conditions.

  • Monitor radiation levels at extended uprate power conditions to assure that personnel exposures are maintained ALARA, radiation survey maps are accurate, and radiation zones are properly posted.* Measure and evaluate core thermal power and fuel thermal margins to ensure a careful, monitored approach to the next power uprate level.* Monitor feed-water level control system for acceptable reactor water level control and the digital electro-hydraulic control system (DEHC) for proper pressure control.* Confirm acceptable calibration of the feedwater flow elements and Crossflow system following installation of the new HP turbine (RF14)and at uprated power conditions.

Hope Creek Page 3 of 188 Rev. 3 HC.OP-FT.ZZ-0004(Q) 1.1.2. Demonstrate that affected plant parameters and equipment performance remains within acceptable limits as power is increased from 3339 MWth to 3723 MWth.1.1.3. Monitor plant system response via EPU System Performance Monitoring

&Analysis Plans (see Attachment 14).1.1.4. Provide Shift Operations personnel clear instructions on testing and operational maneuvers to be performed as power is increased in a step-wise manner to assure safe plant operation.

1.1.5. Provide management reviews and approvals of the test data and the authorization to increase power level in a safe, controlled, step wise manner.1.1.6. Assure that procedures requiring revision to operate at uprated power conditions have been revised as required and are available to plant personnel.

1.1.7. Assure that regulatory commitments have been completed as required to increase power above 3339 MWth. This includes commitments contained within the License Change Request (LCR), correspondence with the NRC as documented in Requests for Additional Information (RAI), and as defined in the NRC issued Safety Evaluation Report (SER). This will be accomplished via the prerequisite section of this procedure.

1.1.8. Verify that training has been completed to meet licensing commitments and provide safe operation of the plant.1.1.9. Document and collect data, including baseline data starting at 3005 MWth (90% of the pre-EPU power level), which will be used to prepare an EPU Power Ascension Test Report to be submitted to the NRC upon completion.

Hope Creek Page 4 of 188 Rev. 3 HC.OP-FT.ZZ-0004(Q) 1.1.10. Discussion

  • The EPU Project utilized a generic methodology from General Electric for evaluating plant systems and equipment for operating at uprated power levels. This methodology provided system, program, and equipment task evaluations that identified the acceptability to operate at an increased power level. These task evaluation documents provided input into the testing program which is implemented by this test procedure." The steps contained in this document were a culmination of inputs from numerous sources. The GE Licensing Topical Report (GELTR) required operational tests for systems which have revised performance requirements because of the extended power uprate. A test plan was submitted with LCR H05-01 (Attachment
23) which provided an overview of the tests to be performed.

A review of the original start-up test specifications was completed and tests were selected based on the change resulting from the extended power uprate. Finally, test requirements were added based on Engineering judgment, discussion with plant personnel and Lessons Learned from other plant power uprates.* Test requirements that are satisfied by completion of existing surveillances, calibrations or post modification testing need not be repeated for the purposes of this procedure unless specifically identified in this procedure.

  • Plant maneuvers and operation shall be performed in accordance with applicable HCGS Procedures including power changes in accordance with: HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0003(Q), Startup from Cold Shutdown to Rated Power or HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0006(Q), Power Changes During Operation.
  • For power ascension activities above 3339 MWth, a Power Ascension Control Center (PACC) is established to support implementing this procedure.

Personnel from various functional areas, together with senior managers, are assigned to provide continuously available resources to address issues that may arise during the performance of this procedure.

Additional peer assessments and reviews will be available, if required.The PACC may be staffed during certain power ascension testing activities following RF14 (e.g., turbine roll and synchronization, startup level control tuning, turbine valve testing, 90% level and pressure step changes, etc.) as determined by the Test Manager.Hope Creek Page 5 of 188 Rev. 3 HC.OP-FT.ZZ-0004(Q)

ATTACHMENT 4 (Page 7 of 8)FLOW INDUCED VIBRATION (TEST NO. 100)3.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria associated with critical piping are specified in Table 4-1.Level 1: Vibration level exceeds the acceptance criteria.

Request Operations to lower reactor power to the last known tested power level.Level 2: Vibration level exceeds 80% (but less than 100%) of acceptance criteria.

Hold at that power level and evaluate prior to resuming power ascension.

This may include performing further analysis with the specific vibration levels recorded.Non-instrumented piping: Level 1: Vibration levels are both significant and have increased significantly above the vibration at the previous power level.Level 2: Vibration levels have increased significantly above the vibration at the previous power level and further increases would be viewed as raising a serious concern.Note: For main piping, if the level of vibration is too small to be perceived, and the possibility of fatigue issues is judged to be minimal, the piping system is acceptable.

Any observed vibration levels judged by walkdown personnel to be a potential concern will be monitored utilizing hand-held vibration meters and evaluated.

MS Line SRVs: Vibration data from the SRVs are to be compared against the acceptance criteria of 1.0 g at any SRV resonant frequency (For channel 32, the acceptance criteria of 1.0 g is at the SOV resonance frequency).

The acceptance criteria was established to preclude FIV causing (a) valve seat leakage (b) wear (c) overstress, and (d) relaxation of the bolting attaching the solenoid assembly to the pilot assembly, Level 1 and 2 limits are: Level 1: Vibration level exceeds the acceptance criteria.

Lower reactor power to the last tested power level.Level 2: Vibration level exceeds 80% (but less than 100%) of acceptance criteria.

Hold at the power level and evaluate prior to resuming power ascension.

This may include performing further analysis with the specific vibration levels recorded.System/Components:

Baseline inspections of systems and components were performed at CLTP (documented in LCR H05-01, Attachment 8, Summary of FIV Investigation at EPU conditions).

Results of EPU power ascension testing, inspections and walk-downs will be compared to baseline inspection results to determine if acceptability is maintained.

ATTACHMENT 5 (Page 2 of 8)RADIATION SURVEYS (TEST 2)3.0 PROCEDURE 3.1 At the Reactor Power specified in Section 1.0 above, PERFORM the radiation surveys contained in Table 5-1.3.2 At the Reactor Power specified in Section 1.0 above, OBTAIN printouts of Process Monitors and Area Radiation Monitors from the Radiation Monitoring System (RM-1 1). EVALUATE results against similar printouts with the plant at 100% power and 9 SCFM HWCI flow.3.3 EVALUATE the results obtained in Section 3.2 above against the design basis criteria contained in Tables 5-2 and 5-3.3.4 RETAIN all RM-1 I printouts and attach to this portion of the procedure.

4.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Level 1: The radiation doses of plant origin and the occupancy times of personnel in radiation zones shall be controlled consistent with the guidelines of the Standard for Protection Against Radiation outlined in 10 CFR 20 (Ref. GE Task TI 005).Level 2: 1) Radiological Boundaries and posting have been established lAW site procedures following the power uprate to the specified MWth Level.2) Personnel Dose Monitoring and appropriate ALARA controls have been implemented in accordance with site procedures following the power uprate to the specified MWth level.3) Radiation levels remain below design basis projected levels as shown in Table 5-2, Setpoint Bases-Radiation Zone Maps, and in Table 5-3 for the Gaseous Radiation Monitors, or an evaluation is performed to justify a higher setpoint.Note: Calculation H-1 -ZZ-MDC-1 956 states that setpoints associated with the Liquid Effluent monitors in Table 5-3 are based on default pre-EPU values which may require change. This will be based on post-EPU implementation continuous and batch release data which will be collected during subsequent cycles as part of the post-EPU monitoring program. Since the releases are governed by other plant procedures, they are not considered acceptance criteria for this test.Initial Date Time Verf Date Time Hope Creek Page 93 of 188 Rev. 3 HC.OP-FT.ZZ-0004(Q)

ATTACHMENT 11 (Page 1 of 45)FEEDWATER SYSTEM (TEST 23)The purpose of this test is to demonstrate:

a) That each feedpump controller operates properly in response to feedwater flow step changes at EPU conditions.

Small 2000 gpm (5% LPU rated) and large 4000 gpm (10% LPU rated) flow demand steps are performed on each feedpump.b) That the digital feedwater control system has acceptable response to reactor water level setpoint changes up to 4-inches in 3-Element Control and up to 2-inches in Single Element Control at EPU conditions.

As discussed in the body of this procedure, the manual flow and feedwater level step change tests will be performed at the 90%, 100%, 105%, and 110% power plateaus (Ref. GE Task Report T1 005, Startup Test Specifications).

This Attachment is to be filled out each time the test is performed and retained as part of the test package as well as any supporting data obtained.NOTE The IPA Coordinator and/or on-duty licensed operators may recommend adjustments to the Master Level Control set-point for subsequent flow steps. The SM may authorize such adjustments in accordance with applicable system operating procedures.

Large feedwater flow changes without feedwater heating can cause flux scrams.2.2 This procedure is not intended to be substituted for the system operating procedure.

Refer to HC.OP-SO.AE-0001(Q) for detailed instructions and precautions.

2.3 Unless otherwise specified, all operations required are performed at panel 10C651 or at the Digital Feedwater system Engineering Work Station (EWS). If step changes are initiated at the EWS, continuous communications SHALL be maintained between the EWS and the Control Room, and a licensed operator SHALL authorize all step and level changes and be present at the EWS.2.4 With a RFP controller in MANUAL, monitor RPV level closely. If the RPV level approaches either the SCRAM setpoint or the RFP trip setpoint, manually adjust the RFP flow controller to return the RPV level to the normal operating range and ENTER HC.OP-AB.RPV-0004(Q), Reactor Level Control.2.5 If a level step change becomes divergent in Single Element Control, the control status should be returned to 3-Element Control after operators have stabilized level using HC.OP-AB.RPV-0004(Q).

The next larger Step change shall not be performed until an acceptable response is achieved from the previous smaller Steps. This may require repeating a previous Step.Level swings experienced during this evolution will cause minor power and pressure swings. No other reactivity changes can occur during this evolution.

6.0 PERFORM Feedwater Manual Flow Step Changes in 3-Element Control as Follows: NOTE Communications need to be maintained between CR Panel 10C651, Engineering Work Station and field test personnel, as appropriate.

Feedwater Manual Flow Step Changes should be performed in the sequence specified (informational tests may be waived); however, the sequence of pumps being tested may be modified from A-B-C to a difference sequence with SM approval.

The time each step was performed will satisfactorily reflect the sequence of performance.

Engineering Work Station (EWS) Personnel may perform control or reactor level manipulations under the supervised direction of a licensed operator.This testing may produce core power excursions due to the feedwater addition.

ATTACHMENT 14 (Page 1 of 1)EPU SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

& MONITORING PLANS DESCRIPTION:

Attachment 14 is a collection of the EPU System Performance

& Monitoring Plans that are controlled separately from this procedure but will be included with this package following completion.

Similar to what was done at another plant (i.e., Vermont Yankee) for EPU, these plans will be developed utilizing the expertise of System Engineers using their existing trending and monitoring programs as a basis, modified for EPU conditions.

At minimum, the System Performance

& Monitoring Plans will be prepared in accordance with ER AA-2003, System Performance Monitoring and Analysis, and ER AA-2030, Conduct of Plant Engineering, and will cover:* Major Impact Systems -As identified in Section 2.0 of DCP 80048085 including reactor feedwater, digital feedwater control, main steam, condensate, extraction steam, condensate demineralizers, condensate prefilters, nuclear boiler, reactor recirculation, and neutron monitoring.

  • Selected Minor Impact Systems -Including main turbine, main generator and transformers, turbine auxiliaries, condenser air removal (SJAE), main condenser, circulating water (including cooling tower), turbine HVAC, and Offgas systems.Acceptance Criteria -The EPU System Performance

& Monitoring Plans supplement the Power Ascension Test to ensure the balance of non-tested parameters and systems perform as expected.

Thus, there are no specific Level I (Termination) criteria associated with these plans.All Category 1 and 2 LPU Expected Parameter Responses or Limits currently contained in the EPU System Margin report (DCP 80048085, Supplement

2) will be considered as Level 2 (HOLD) criteria for this test. By definition, CATEGORY 1 and 2 parameters in this category include: 1. High Risk: Operating margin reductions with the potential for plant trips, power reductions, or LCOs, or can result in accelerated equipment degradation with potential for premature repair or replacement.
2. Medium Risk: Operating margin reductions with operations close to alarm set points or other limiting equipment parameters, or with more than minimal reduction in operational flexibility, or that may result in long-term equipment degradation with increased maintenance or monitoring required.

This category also includes margin reductions that are still being evaluated.

ATTACHMENT 16 (Page 1 of 11)TURBINE STOP, BYPASS AND MSIV TESTING The purpose of this test is to determine the maximum power level for performing periodic turbine valve and MSIV testing without challenging reactor scram or turbine trip set-points.

Tests at 95% and 100% CLTP will be performed using established surveillance procedures following installation of the new HP turbine. The individual test results are then used to determine the next test power level or the maximum safe power level at which testing can be performed while maintaining adequate margins to scram and other set-points.

This Attachment is to be filled out each time the test is performed and retained as part of the test package as well as any supporting data obtained such as completed surveillance test procedures.
