Additional Information Supporting Request for Amendment to Technical Specification 5.5.16, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program" Exel6n Nuclear References
: 1. Letter from D. M. Benyak (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U. S. NRC, "Request for Amendment to Technical Specification 5.5.16, 'Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program,'
dated April 4, 2007 2. Letter from P. R. Simpson (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U. S. NRC, "Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Request for Amendment to Technical Specification 5.5.16, 'Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program,'" dated October 10, 2007 In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested an amendment to Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TS), of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-72, NPF-77, NPF-37, and NPF-66 for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, and Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed change revises TS 5.5.16, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," to reflect a one-time five-year deferral of the containment Type A integrated leak rate test from once in 10 years to once in 15 years. Additional information supporting this request was submitted to the NRC in Reference
: 2. In the Reference 2 submittal, EGC provided references to inservice inspection summary reports, which were previously submitted to the NRC, that provide information related to containment inservice inspections (CISIs) and historic highlights. In recent discussions with the NRC, the NRC requested that EGC provide a summary table that documents significant indications noted during the CISIs and actions taken to disposition the indications. In response to this request, January 31, 2008 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 EGC is providing the attached information for Byron Station. CISI summary information will be submitted to the NRC for Braidwood Station under a separate letter. There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Kenneth M. Nicely at (630) 657-2803. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 31 st day of January 2008. Respectfully, K~A Patrick R. Simpson Manager - Licensing Attachment
