Attachment 1 to 2CAN010203 Page 1 of 24
1.0 DESCRIPTION
This letter is a request to amend Operating License NPF-6 for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2).
The proposed changes will revise the Operating License to:
- 1) Delete two license conditions.
- 2) Reorganize the ANO-2 Technical Specifications (TS) Section 6.0, Administrative Controls;
- 3) Move several surveillance requirements that are considered programs from their present location in the individual specifications to TS Section 6.0;
- 4) Modify TS actions related to the Control Room Ventilation System to make them consistent with the proposed changes to the ANO-1 TS;
- 5) Make appropriate changes to the TS bases in support of the above changes; and
- 6) Add a TS Bases Control Program.
The proposed changes will make the ANO-1 and ANO-2 common unit TSs and Administrative Controls sections similar. Additionally, the majority of the proposed change to the Administrative Controls section is consistent with Revision 2 of NUREG-1432, "Standard Technical Specifications Combustion EngineeringPlants."
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE
The following provides a description of the proposed changes to the ANO-2 TSs. Many of the current requirements will be deleted because they are duplicated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Tte applicable section of the CFR will be referenced in the description of the change. Note the majority of the Administrative Controls section of the ANO-2 TSs is being re-organized and as such the current TS amendment reference numbers listed at the bottom of each page may no longer be associated with the information contained on the new page. Thus, with this proposed change the amendment tracking for this section will now be re-baselined and will reflect only this amendment (i.e., prior amendment references will be deleted).
The table below is organized by sections of the Facility Operating License and TSs in the order of the current TSs. Where a section in the Administrative Controls section is currently not used or defined as deleted no discussion is included. These sections may be used in the proposed re-organization of that section. Due to the complexity of this change Attachment 5 is included to provide clean pages for reference only. The final pages will be supplied at a later date. For additional reference Attachment 5 includes a cross-reference index of the new Administrative Controls Section TS location with the current TS location.
Attachment I to 2CAN010203 Page 2 of 24 Current TS # New Description of Change Location Facility Operating License (FOL)
FOL 2.C.(3) (p) 6.5.10 The Secondary Water Chemistry Monitoring program described in this section of the FOL will be moved to Administrative Controls section 6.5.10. Reference to the specific title of the procedure will be deleted. No technical changes are proposed.
r .L.,. ku) .'.Z I nis requirement to establish a program to reduce leakage from systems outside containment that could or would contain highly radioactive fluids during transients will be moved to Administrative Controls section 6.5.2. The licensing requirement will be deleted. No technical changes are proposed.
bection 1.U Detinitions 1.33 N/A The definition of Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) currently states that ucycle-specific core operating limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in accordance with Technical Specification 6.9.5." The requirements related to COLR which are contained in the Administrative Controls section will be moved to Administrative Controls section 6.6.5.
Therefore, the reference contained in this definition will be changed to Specification 6.6.5. No technical changes are proposed.
Section 3 /4. 3 Instrumentation 3.3.3.1, Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation Table 3.3-6, N/A Actions 17 and 20 on Table 3.3-6 apply to the Actions 17 & 20 Control Room Ventilation Intake Duct Monitors.
ANO-1 and ANO-2 share a common control room envelope and ventilation system therefore the specifications for the two units should be the same.
The proposed change will modify Actions 17 and 20 to specifically address the required actions when operating in Mode 1, 2, 3, or 4. Additionally both actions will include requirements to place in the unit in Cold Shutdown if the actions cannot be met. This is consistent with the current requirement to enter TS 3.0.3 if the action requirements are not satisfied and therefore, this is not considered a technical change.
Attachment I to 2CAN010203 Page 3 of 24 Current TS # New Description of Change Location Table 3.3-6, New This new action is added to make the ANO-1 and ANO-2 TSs for the Control Room Ventilation Intake New Action Duct Monitors similar. The new action is as follows:
Requirement "During handling of irradiated fuel with one or two Action 21 channels inoperable, immediately place one OPERABLE CREVS train in the emergency recirculation mode or immediately suspend handling of irradiated fuel." The current actions associated with the handling of irradiated fuel are included in Actions 17 and 20. Neither of these actions allows the suspension of fuel movement as an option.
Table 3.3-6, N/A Action 18 applies to the Containment High Range Actions 18 & 19 monitors and Action 19 applies to the Main Steam Radiation Monitors. Both actions require that a spcial report be prepared and submitted to the commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2. The proposed change deletes the reference to Specification 6.9.2, which will be deleted from the Administrative Controls Section. The requirement to submit a special report will be maintained. No technical changes are proposed.
I al1e 3.3- IU, N/A These actions require the submittal of a special Actions 3.b and report to the NRC when the Reactor Vessel Level 4.b Monitoring System is rendered inoperable. A reference to specification 6.9.2 is currently included in these. That reference will be deleted, however the reporting requirement retained. No technical I -- changes are proposed.
3 / 4.4 Reactor Coolant System 3.4.5 Steam Generators 4.4.5.0, 4.4.5.1, 6.5.9 These surveillance requirements describe the Steam 4.4.5.2, 4.4.5.3, Generator Tube Surveillance Program. In keeping 4.4.5.4, and with NUREG-1432, "StandardTechnical Tables 4.4-1 and Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants,"
4.4-2 these program requirements will be moved to the Administrative Controls section 6.5.9. The references to surveillance requirements and table numbers will be changed to reflect the relocation into section 6.0. A new SR 4.4.5 will be added to direct performance of steam generator inspections in accordance with the Steam Generator Tube Surveillance Program. No technical changes are proposed.

-T .T. J This surveillance requirement describes the reports that are submitted to the Commission following steam generator inservice and tube inspections.
This requirement will be moved to the Administrative Controls section 6.6.7 with only minor changes.
Presently 4.4.5.5.c references Specification 6.9.2, which will be deleted. The requirement for the Special Report will be retained in section 6.6.7 however Specification 6.9.2 will not be referenced.
References to the table number will be changed to reflect the relocation into section 6.0. No technical changes are proposed.
3.4.5 Bases N/A I The portion of th; bases of TS 3.4.5 that discusses the surveillance requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes will be modified to support the changes described above.
3 / 4.5 Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) 3.5.2 ECCS Subsystems - Tavg > 300 OF 3.5.3 ECCS Subs stems - Tavg < 300 OF 3.5.2 & 3.5.3 N/A Action b of both of these specifications references Specification 6.9.2, which will be deleted. The requirement to prepare and submit a report to the Commission will be maintained in the individual actions. No technical chan es are ro osed.
3 / 4.7 Plant Systems 3.7.6.1 Control Room Emergency Ventilation and Air Conditioning System 3.7.6.1 New Action The Control Room Emergency Ventilation System "rd" (CREVS) and Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System (CREACS) are shared systems between ANO-1 and ANO-2. ANO-1 ITS 3.7.9 action B describes what is required in Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4 when the control room boundary becomes inoperable. A similar action is not included in the ANO-2 TSs. For consistency a new action "d" will be added for ANO-2.
3.7.6.1, Action d 3.7.6.1, There are no technical changes proposed to this Action e action. It will be designated as Action e.
3.7.6.1, Action e 3.7.6.1, There are no technical changes proposed to this Action f action. It will be designated as Action f.
3.7.6.1, Action f 3.7.6.1, There are no technical changes proposed to this Action g action. This action will be moved to the top of page 3/4 7-18 and is thus marked as a revision to that page. It will be designated as Action to 2CAN010203 Page 5 of 24 nange There are no technical changes proposed to this action. This action will be moved to the top of page 3/4 page.7-18 and is thus marked as a revision to that It will be designated as Action h.
4.7.6.1.2.b, 6.5.11 The filtration testing program described in these 4.7.6.1.2.c, individual SRs will be moved to the Administrative 4.7.6.1.2.d.1, Controls section 6.5.11 to be consistent with ANO-1 4.7.6.1.2.e, as well as NUREG-1432. The testing program 4.7.6.1.2.f (6.5.11) will include the Control Room Emergency Air Filtration System and the Fuel Handling Area Filtration System. A statement of clarity will be added stating that TS 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 are applicable.
The current SR 4.7.6.1.2.c wording will be replaced with the following wording: "Perform required Control Room Emergency Ventilation filter testing in accordance with the Ventilaubon Filter Tesaing Program (VFTP)." No technical changes are proposed.
4.7.6.1.2.b SR 4.7.6.1.2.d.2 verifies every 18 months that the 4.7.6.1.2.d.2 control room isolates and switches into a recirculation mode of operation within 10 seconds after the receipt of a control room high radiation signal. This SR will be renumbered as SR 4.7.6.1.2.b with no%Iechnical changes proposed.
3.7.8 Shock Su ressors (Snubbers) 4.7.8.h N/A This SR refers to Specification 6.10.2, which was deleted from the ANO-2 TSs with Amendment 209.
The reference to Specification 6.10.2 was inappropriately left in SR 4.7.8.h. The proposed change will delete the reference to Specification 6.10.2. No technical changes are proposed.

6.2.2 Unit Staff 6.2.2.a 6.2.2.a & b The on-duty shift composition currently described in Table 6.2-1 is consistent with the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.54 with the exception of non licensed operators. Therefore, this specification will be modified to reflect the requirements are contained in 10 CFR 50.54 (m) (2) (i) and moved to paragraph 6.6.2.b. A new 6.2.2.a will be added that defines the number of and time at which non-licensed operators shall be on site. These changes will result in consistency between ANO-1 and ANO-2.
6.2.2.b N/A The current wording in 6.2.2.b requires that a licensed Operator be in the control room when fuel is in the reactor. This paragraph is part of the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii).
The regulation says that "In addition to this senior operator, for each fueled nuclear power unit, a licensed operator or senior operator shall be present at the controls at all times." The specification is redundant to the wording contained in the regulation and will therefore be deleted.
6.2.2.c N/A Specification 6.2.2.c requires at least two licensed operators to be in the control room during reactor startup, scheduled reactor shutdown and during recovery from reactor trips. This duplicates 10 CFR 50.54(m)(1) and (m)(2)(iii). Therefore, this specification will be deleted.

6.3 Unit Staff Qualifications 6.3.1 6.3.1 I Currently the unit staff has to meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI N18.1-1971. The section will be revised to reference ANSI ANS 3.1 1978, which will replace ANSI N18.1-1971. ANSI ANS 3.1-1978 is more restrictive than ANSI N18.1 1971. The ANO-2 staff presently meets the I requirements set forth in ANSI ANS 3.1-1978.
6.7 Safet Limit Violation 6.7.1.a N/A This specification requires that the unit be placed in at least HOT STANDBY within one hour of violating a Safety Limit. The Safety Limits are included in Section 2.1 of the ANO-2 TSs. Specification 6.7.1.a is duplicated in the action statements of the safety limits, Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio, Linear Heat Rate, and Reactor Coolant System pressure, which currently require that if the limits are exceed, the unit be placed in HOT STANDY within one hour.
The same action is required by each specification, therefore specification 6.7.1.a will be deleted.

Attachment I to 2CAN01 0203 Page 16 of 24 In addition to the above changes, Entergy proposes to add a TS Bases Control Program to the Administrative Controls Section as section 6.5.14. This program will provide a means for processing changes to the Bases of the TSs under appropriate administrative controls and reviews. The addition of this program is consistent with NUREG-1432 and the approved ANO-1 conversion to the improved TSs.
Entergy also proposes to add a requirement to establish, implement and maintain emergency operating procedures to the Administrative Controls Section as section 6.4.1.b. This is consistent with NUREG-1432 and the approved ANO-1 conversion to the proposed TSs.
A proposed change (reference 4) to the ANO-2 TSs to relocate the Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection from SR 4.4.10.1 to Section 6.0 is currently in NRC staff review. As a placeholder for this change Section 6.5.7 has been designated as "later."
Specification 6.6.6 in the new Administrative Controls section will not be used and in the proposed change is designated as 2Not Used."
3.0 BACKGROUND
The proposed change relocates several surveillances from the Surveillance Requirements section of Technical Specifications (TSs) to the Administrative Controls section of TSs without any technical change to these requirements. In addition, the proposed change re-orders the Administrative Controls section of the TSs in an effort to establish consistency between the approved ANO-1 conversion to the improved TSs and the ANO-2 Administrative Controls section. The change also results in the Administrative Controls section being similar to the order contained in .the "Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants" (NUREG-1432).
The proposed changes to the system related TSs, Control Room Ventilation Intake Duct Monitors and Control Room Emergency Ventilation System, provide clarity and add new action statements. These changes do not result in any modifications to the plant and continue to meet the plant design basis The proposed deletion of several of the specifications contained section has no impact on the plant design. In most cases in the Administrative Controls these administrative controls are redundant to current regulatory requirements and will continue to be performed as required by the associated 10 CFR requirement. The specifications included in the Administrative Controls section do not contain requirements that affect the plant design as defined by 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical Specifications."
4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Section 2.0, Proposed Changes, provided a detailed listing of proposed changes to the Technical Specifications. No further discussion will be provided for the administrative changes described in Section 2.0 as having no technical changes.
Only the proposed changes that are considered technical will be discussed in this section.
Attachment 1 to 2CAN010203 Page 17 of 24 Process Monitors located in the Control Room Ventilation System Intake Ducts The purpose of the Control Room Ventilation System is to provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to ensure a suitable environment for equipment and station operator comfort and safety. The purpose of the process monitors is to isolate the Control Room by automatically placing the ventilation in the recirculation mode of operation following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity. Reactor operation may continue indefinitely with the control room emergency ventilation system (CREVS) in the emergency recirculation mode of operation. The following changes do not modify the system in any way and thus the intended function of the system is maintained.
TS Table 3.3-6, Action 21 will be added as a new action associated with the process monitors located in control room ventilation system intake ducts. Actions associated with these process monitors are currently included in Actions 17 and 20 and are applicable during Modes 1, 2, 3, 4, and during handling of irradiated fuel. The new Action 21 will be applicable during handling of irradiated fuels and the current Actions 17 and 20 will be applicabre during Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Currently, Action 17 states the following:
"With no channels OPERABLE, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> initiate and maintain operation of the control room emergency ventilation system in the recirculation mode of operation."
This action will be retained however will be applicable only during Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4. The action will be modified to direct that the unit be placed in HOT STANDBY within the 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> if the CREVS cannot be maintained in the recirculation mode of operation within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of both channels becoming inoperable. This is consistent with the current practice, which would require entry into TS 3.0.3 if the CREVS could not be maintained in the recirculation mode of operation. The new action will read as follows:
"In MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 with no channels OPERABLE, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> initiate and maintain operation of the control room emergency ventilation system (CREVS) in the recirculation mode of operation or be in HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and COLD SHUTDOWN in the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />."
The current Action 20 states the following:
"With the number of channels OPERABLE one less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, restore the inoperable channel to OPERABLE status within 7 days, or within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> initiate and maintain the control room emergency ventilation system in the recirculation mode of operation."
The wording in this action will be modified to be applicable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 only. The additional six-hour allowance to place an operable CREVS in the recirculation mode of operation will be deleted to be consistent with the ANO-1 TSs.
The action will be modified to direct that the unit be placed in HOT STANDBY within the 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> if the CREVS cannot be maintained in the recirculation mode of operation. The new action will read as follows:
"In Mode 1, 2, 3, or 4 with the number of channels OPERABLE one less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, restore the inoperable channel to
Attachment 1 to 2CAN01 0203 Page 18 of 24 OPERABLE status within 7 days, or initiate and maintain the control room emergency ventilation system in the recirculation mode of operation, or be in HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and COLD SHUTDOWN in the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />."
The actions applicable during handling of irradiated fuel will be contained in new action 21, which will state the following:
"During handling of irradiated fuel with one or two channels inoperable, immediately place one OPERABLE CREVS train in the emergency recirculation mode or immediately suspend handling of irradiated fuel.'
The new action 21 allows suspension of fuel handling activities as a viable option. When the CREVS is placed in the recirculation mode of operation, a small quantity of filtered outside air is drawn into the control room while the normal supply and return ducts are isolate 3. This assures protection to the control room operator in the event of a fuel handling accident" and subsequent airborne activity. This action is consistent with ANO-1 improved TS 3.3.16, Action D.
TS 3.7.6.1, Control Room Emermency Ventilation And Air Conditioning System A new Action "d" will be added to TS 3.7.6.1. The new action describes what is required in Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4 when the control room boundary becomes inoperable. ANO-2 does not currently have an action that addresses the failure of the control room boundary. The new action would allow 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore the boundary before a shutdown is required. This is consistent with the approved ANO-1 TS, which will be implemented in the summer of 2002.
TS Section 6.2.2, Unit Staff Several changes are proposed for this section. 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of Licenses" includes several requirements for staffing. The current Technical Specifications are redundant to many of the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.54 and therefore will be deleted.
The current 6.2.2.a requires that each on-duty shift shall be composed of at least the minimum shift crew composition shown in Table 6.2-1. During Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 this table requires two Senior Licensed Operators, two Reactor Licensed Operators, operators. The table also specifies manning for Modes 5 and three non-licensed and 6 which includes one Senior Licensed Operator who is not supervising Fueling Handling, one Reactor Licensed Operator, and 1 non-licensed operator. The requirements of Table 6.2-1 are consistent with the requirements contained in the table included in 10 CFR 50.54 (m)(2)(i) for one unit, one control room with the exception of the non-licensed operators. The current specification 6.2.2.a will be modified to include the requirements for non-licensed operators only and maintain the current staffing requirements. The specification to maintain the staffing requirements for licensed operators will become 6.2.2.b and reference 10 CFR 50.54 (m)(2)(i) for one unit, one control room.
The current TS 6.2.2.b requires that at least one licensed Operator shall be in the control room when fuel is in the reactor. This is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) and therefore will be deleted since it is redundant to the regulations.
The current TS 6.2.2.c requires that at least two licensed Operators be present in the control room during reactor startup, scheduled reactor shutdown and during recovery from reactor trips.
Attachment I to 2CAN010203 Page 19 of 24 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) requires that a senior licensed operator be present in the control room during operational modes other than cold shutdown or refueling. It also requires that a licensed or senior licensed operator be at the controls at all times in addition to the senior licensed operator specified. Reactor startups, scheduled reactor shutdowns and recovery from reactor trips occur during operational modes other than cold shutdown.
Therefore, the requirements contained in the TS are redundant to those contained in 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) and will therefore be deleted.
The current TS 6.2.2.d requires that an individual qualified in radiation protection will be on site when fuel is in the reactor. This specification will remain in its present location. Table 6.2-1, which reflects Operations staffing composition, includes an allowance for unexpected absences for a time period not to exceed two hours. This allowance for unexpected absences will be added to TS 6.2.2.d. The addition of this allowance is consistent with proposed changes to the ANO Emergency Plan (reference 1).
The current TS 6.2.2.e requires that a licensed senior reactor operator or senior reactor operator limited to fuel handling who has no other concurrent responsibilities shall directly supervise core alterations. This requirement is redundant to 10 CFR 50.54 (m)(iv) and will therefore be deleted.
The
- note associated with Table 6.2-1 will be deleted. This note is associated with senior licensed operators and states that the required number of senior licensed operators in Mode 5 and 6 does not include the senior licensed operator who is supervising core alterations.
10 CFR 50.54 (m)(iv) states that a senior licensed operator must be limited to fuel handling to directly supervise the activity. The minimum requirements for shift listed in the Table referenced by 10 CFR 50.54(mX2)(i) require one senior licensed operator. Therefore, the note is included in the combination of these 10 CFR 50.54 requirements and will be deleted.
The # note associated with Table 6.2-1 will be relocated to specification 6.2.2.c and expanded to include reference to 10 CFR 50.54 (m)(2)(i). This is consistent with the change proposed to specification 6.2.2.a. In addition a reference to the new 6.2.2.g will be added. This is consistent with the changes proposed to the Emergency Plan (reference 1).
Section 6.3, Unit Staff Qualifications The current 6.3.1 requires that the unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI N18.1-1971. ANSI ANS 3.1-1978 exceeds the qualification requirements ANSI N18.1-1971. ANO-2 currently meets the requirements contained included in in ANSI ANS 3.1-1978.
Therefore this reference will be changed to ANSI ANS 3.1-1978. Entergy's Quality Assurance Program Manual (QAPM) states: "Qualification requirements for personnel will meet ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 except where exception to ANSI N18.1 or to this Standard is identified in the applicable unit's Technical Specifications." Therefore the proposed change does not render the QAPM inaccurate.
Specification 6.7. Safety Limit Violation This section describes the actions required if a safety limit is violated.
The safety limits for ANO-2, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, peak linear heat rate, and reactor coolant system pressure, are included in Section 2.1 of the TSs. If the defined limit for any of these is
Attachment 1 to 2CAN010203 Page 20 of 24 exceeded, the unit must be placed in HOT STANDBY within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. This is consistent with the requirements stated in TS 6.7.1.a. Therefore, TS 6.7.1.a will be deleted.
Specification 6.7.1.b requires that the Vice President, Operations ANO and the SRC be notified within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of violating a safety limit. This notification is administratively controlled as part of the ANO corrective action process. This notification will be deleted.
This notification is not required to ensure any of the four criteria listed in 10 CFR 50.36. The administrative controls section of Technical Specifications is described in 10 CFR 50.36 as reporting what is necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Although this notification will continue to be performed as part of the standard practices for notification, it does not assure the facility is operated in a safe manner. Actions taken in the control room by the control room operators assure the safety of the facility.
Specification 6.7.1.c requires that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) be notified in the event of a safety limit violation. 10 CFR 50.36, 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 require verbal and written notification to the NRC if a plant shutdown is required by the unit's Technical Specifications. TS 6.7.1.c will be deleted since it is redundant to the requirements contained in these regulations.
6.8, Procedures and Programs Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures be established as recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Specifications 6.8.1.b, c and h list specific types of written procedures that shall be established, implemented, and maintained. The types of procedures listed in these specifications are procedures covering refueling operations, surveillance and test activities on safety related equipment, and new and spent fuel storage, respectively. RG 1.33 includes a list of the types of procedures that should be established. Each of these is included in the RG and therefore 6.8.1.b, c and h will be deleted.
6.9, Reporting Requirements Specification 6.9.1 provides an introduction into this section of reporting requirements. There are no specific reports included in it other than a reference to the reporting requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations. Since Entergy is required to complete the reports contained in the Title 10, the wording in this specification is redundant and will be deleted.
Specification 6.9.1.1, 6.9.1.2, and 6.9.1.3 describe reporting requirements related to startup reports. These will be deleted from the Technical Specifications based on the following discussion. Regulatory Guide 1.16, "Reporting of Operations Information
- Appendix A Technical Specifications" includes guidance related to the contents of the startup reports in section C.i.a. The guidance contained in the ANO-2 TSs is consistent with the guidance contained in RG 1.16. ANO-2 is committed to this RG as is reflected in the ANO-2 Safety Analysis Report (SAR) section 1.3.3. The wording currently states:
"Conformance with this guide is addressed in the Technical Specifications since the guide covers only reporting requirements." These words will be changed based on the approval of the proposed change.
Specification 6.9.1.4 provides an introductory paragraph for the list of annual reports and specifies the submittal date of the report. This paragraph will be deleted and the submittal date included in the individual specifications related to annual reports.
Attachment I to 2CAN010203 Page 21 of 24 Specification 6.9.1.5.a describes the information that should be included in the personnel exposure report. The reporting requirements will be retained and relocated to TS 6.6.1. The submittal date however is being revised to April 30 to be consistent with ANO-1 and the submittal date included in 10 CFR 20.2206, 'Reports of Individual Monitoring."
This change is considered administrative since no relaxation of the reporting requirement is proposed.
Additionally note 2, which is referenced by TS 6.9.1.5.a, will be moved into the specification and modified to reflect that this tabulation supplements the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2206. The current reference to paragraph 20.407 of 10 CFR Part 20 is no longer accurate, as there is no such paragraph in 10 CFR Part 20.
Specification 6.9.1.5.c requires that all challenges to the pressurizer safety valves be documented and included in an annual report In 1997 with the issuance of ANO-2 TS Amendment 180 (reference 3), which added the Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) requirements, ANO committed include within the report of challenges to the pressurizer safety valves a report of any challenges to the LTOP valves. This commitment is being deleted as part of this proposed change. NUREG-1432 previously contained the requirement to report challenges of pressurizer safety valves as part of the monthly operating report.
Technical Specification Traveler number 258 removed this monthly reporting requirement based on Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Content of Monthly OperatingReport"and discussions related to the NRC Performance Indicator Program. The conclusion was that this information was not needed in the assessment of NRC Performance Indicators and as such the requirement to include information related to challenges of the pressurizer safety valves in the monthly operating report was not needed. The NUREG does not require reporting pressurizer safety valve challenges annually. Although the NUREG previously required a monthly report of any pressurizer safety valve challenges, Entergy took exception to the monthly reporting requirement in a February 1999 request for additional information related to the administrative controls of the ANO-1 and ANO-2 TSs (reference 2). Entergy continued to require the annual report. It is proposed that this reporting requirement be deleted. The reason for deletion is consistent with the logic used in the above referenced traveler even though the reporting frequencies differ.
Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with 10 CFR 20 requirements. RG 1.33 requires that procedures radioactivity be developed, including those, which limit personnel exposure. for control of Therefore, this specification is redundant to the requirements contained in RG 1.33 and will be deleted.
5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS
5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The proposed changes have been evaluated to determine whether applicable regulations and requirements continue to be met. As has been discussed in Section 4.0 of this request, many of the proposed changes will result in current requirements being deleted, which are redundant to existing regulatory requirements. The following regulations are referenced and will remain satisfied: 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of Licenses," 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical Specifications,"
10 CFR 50.72, "Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors,"
10 CFR 50.73, "Licensee Event Report System," and 10 CFR20.2206, "Reports of Individual Monitoring." Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements
Attachment I to 2CAN010203 Page 22 of 24 (Operation)" and RG 1.16, "Reporting Of Operating Information
- Appendix A Technical Specifications" as well as Generic Letter (GL) 97-02, "Revised Content of Monthly Operating Report"are also included in the discussion of the proposed change.
Entergy has determined that the proposed changes 1) do not require any exemptions or relief from the regulatory requirements, other than the TS, and 2) do not affect conformance with any General Design Criteria differently than described in the Safety Analysis Report.
5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) proposes to modify the Arkansas (ANO-2) Technical Specifications (TSs) to re-order the Administrative Nuclear One, Unit 2 Controls section to be consistent with NUREG-1432, 'Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants"and the ANO, Unit I (ANO-1) TS Administrative Controls section. This change will result in moving several surveillance requirements currently contained in the Surveillance Requirements section of the ANO-2 TSs to the Administrative Controls section. The change will also result in the deletion of several specifications currently contained in the Administrative Controls section. For the majority of those that will be deleted, the requirements are presently contained in either the Code of Federal Regulations, referenced Generic Letters, or referenced Regulatory Guides. Entergy will continue to maintain the requirements contained in these regulatory documents. Entergy also proposes to add a Technical Specification Bases Control Program as part of the requested changes.
The actions related to the Control Room Ventilation System will be modified proposed change. The ventilation system (emergency and air conditioning as part of the system) for the control room is sha~ed with ANO-1 and thus the specifications for this system are maintained consistent between the units where appropriate. Recently, ANO-1 received approval of a submittal that resulted in the conversion their custom TSs to the format of NUREG-1430, "Standard Technical Specifications Babcock and Wilcox Plants."
Included in this conversion were changes to the actions related to the process radiation monitors located in the Control Room Ventilation System intake ducts as well as the specifications for the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System. It is proposed to add two new actions to the ANO-2 TSs one associated with the process monitors and the other with the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System. This results in consistency between the two units specifications.
Entergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as described below.
- 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change modifies the Administrative Controls section of the ANO-2 TSs to be consistent with NUREG-1432. 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical Specifications" defines the Administrative Controls section as follows: "Administrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner." Therefore, by definition the specifications contained in the Administrative Controls section are not
Attachment 1 to 2CAN01 0203 Page 23 of 24 specifications related to systems that are used to mitigate any types of accidents. The proposed changes to the Administrative Controls section therefore do not impact the ability of a plant system to perform its intended function.
The proposed changes to the Control Room Ventilation System specifications do not result in any type of plant modification to this system. The system's intended function is to provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to ensure a suitable environment for equipment and station operator comfort and safety.
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 will re-organize the ANO-2 Administrative Controls section and modify the actions related to the Control Room Ventilation System.
The changes to the Administrative Controls section by definition of the type of specifications, which are included in the Administrative Controls section, will not create any new or different types of accidents.
The modifications to the Control Room Ventilation System specifications providing clarity to existing actions and the addition of new actions. result in The addition of the new actions -results in consistency between the ANO-1 and ANO-2 TSs. No design changes are proposed to the Control Room Ventilation System.
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 changes result in the relocation of several surveillance requirements to the Administrative Controls section as well as the re-organization of the Administrative Controls Section of the ANO-2 TSs. In addition, clarification is added to the Control Room Ventilation System action statements that result in consistency between the ANO-1 and ANO-2 TSs. These changes do not affect the margin of safety.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),
and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
Attachment 1 to 2CAN010203 Page 24 of 24 5.3 Environmental Considerations The proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

6.5.9.4 Acceptance Criteria
- a. As used in this Specification I. Tubing or Tube means that portion of the tube, which forms the primary system to secondary system pressure boundary.
- 2. Imperfection means an exception to the dimensions, finish or contour of a tube from that required by fabrication drawings or specifications. Eddy-current testing indications below 20% of the nominal tube wall thickness, if detectable, may be considered as imperfections.
- 3. Degradation means a-service-induced cracking, wastage, wear or general corrosion occurring on either inside or outside of a tube.
- 4. Degraded Tube means a tube containing imperfections Z20%
of nominal wall thickness caused by degradation.
- 5. % Degradation means the percentage of the tube wall thickness affected or removed by degradation.
- 6. Defect means an imperfection of such severity that it exceeds the plugging limit. A tube containing a defect is defective.
- 7. Plugging Limit means the imperfection depth at or beyond which the tube hall be removed from service by plugging because it may become unserviceable prior to the next inspection. The plugging limit is equal to 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness.
8, Unserviceable describes the condition of a tube if it leaks or contains a defect large enough to affect its structural integrity in the event of an Operating Basis Earthquake, a loss of-coolant accident, or a steam line or feedwater line break as specified in 6 .5.9.3.c, above.
- 9. Tube Inspection means an inspection of the steam generator tube
"-from tube end (cold leg side) to tube end (hot leg side).
- 10. Pre-service Inspection means an inspection of the full length of each tube in each steam generator performed by eddy current techniques prior to service to establish a baseline condition of the tubing. This inspection shall be performed after the hydrostatic test and prior to POWER OPERATION using the equipment and techniques expected to be used during subsequent inservice inspections.
- b. The steam generator shall be determined OPERABLE after completing the corresponding actions (plug all tubes exceeding the plugging limit and all tubes containing through-wall cracks) required by Table 6.5.9-2.

3/4.4.4 PRESSURIZER A steam bubble in the pressurizer ensures that the RCS is not a hydraulically solid system and is capable of accommodating pressure surges during operation. The steam bubble also protects the pressurizer code safety valves against water relief. The steam bubble functions to relieve RCS pressure during all design transients.
The requirement that 150 KW of pressurizer heaters and their associated controls be capable of being supplied electrical power from an emergency bus provides assurance that these heaters can be energized during a loss-of-offsite power condition to maintain natural circulation at HOT STANDBY.

If the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these limits, localized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking.
The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage
= 150 gallons per day per steam generator). Cracks having a primary-to secondary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents. Operating plants have demonstrated that primary-to-secondary leakage of 150 gallons per day per steam generator can readily be detected by radiation monitors on the secondary system.
Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will .be located and plugged.

Plugging will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding the plugging limit as defined in Survellziante Rq...mr...tI 4.4.5.4.a Steam Generator Tube Surveillance Program. Steam generator tube inspections of operating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that could affect tube wall Additionally, upgraded testing methods will be evaluated integrity.

Notification of the Commission will to resumption of plant operation. be made prior Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional eddy-current inspection, and revision of the Technical Specifications, if necessary.
3/4.4.6 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.1 LEAKAGE DETECTIQN SYSTEMS GDC 30 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 requires means to the extent practical, identifying the location for detecting and, of the source of RCS LEAKAGE. The RCS leakage detection systems required by this are provided to monitor and detect leakage specification from the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary. These detection systems are consistent with recommendations the of Regulatory Guide 1.45, "Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems" May 1973.
Likewise, the actions implemented upon inoperability of a required leak sufficient in maintaining the diversity and accuracy detection instrument are needed to effectively detect RCS leaks.
Industry practice has shown that water flow changes gpm can readily be detected in contained volumes of 0.5 gpm to 1.0 by monitoring changes in water level, in flow rate, or in the operating frequency of a pump. In addition, the reactor coolant contains radioactivity that, when released to the containment, can be detected by radiation monitoring Instrument sensitivities of 10 - 106 cpm for instrumentation.
particulate and gaseous monitoring are practical for these leakage detection systems.

REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.9 and 3/4.9.10 WATER LEVEL-REACTOR VESSEL AND SPENT FUEL POOL WATER LEVEL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 99% of the assumed 12% iodine gap activity released from the rupture of an irradiated fuel assembly. The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the accident analysis.
3/4.9.11 FUEL HANDLING AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM The limitations on the fuel handling area ventilation that all radioactive materials released from an system ensure irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers prior to discharge to the atmosphere.

-Pen~etration s'afety-faeter-of f~ee-ef---_- P.5T D38-03 -1989 Jis 3/4.9.12 FUEL STORAGE Region I and Region 2 of the spent fuel storage racks are designed to assure fuel assemblies of less than or equal to 5.0 w/o U-235 enrichment that are within the limits of Figure 3.9.2 will be maintained in a subcritical array with Keff *0-95 in unborated water. These conditions have been verified by criticality analyses.
The requirement for 1600 ppm boron concentration is to assure the fuel assemblies will be maintained in a subcritical array with Keff r0.95 in the event of a postulated accident. Analysis has shown that, during a postulated accident with the fuel stored within the limits of this specification, that a Keff of 50.95 will be maintained when the boron concentration is at or above 1000 ppm.
Normally, fuel stored in a cross-hatch storage configuration must have all four diagonal spaces or at least two adjacent faces remain vacant to meet the criticality safety analysis mentioned above. However, the spent fuel pool walls may be credited as a neutron leakage path. Therefore, vacant spaces face adjacent to the walls of the Region I cross-hatch configured assemblies may be used to store fuel assemblies that are outside of the area of the graph enclosed by Curve A on Figure 3.9.2, excluding the most southeast and southwest corner spaces of Region 1 which must remain empty.

- a. Each entryway to such an area shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area. Such barricades may be opened as necessary to permit entry or exit of personnel or equipment.
- b. Access to, and activities in, each such area shall be
.ontrolled by means of Radiation Work Permit (RWP), or equivalent that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s) and other appropriate radiation protection equipment and measures.
- c. Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures and personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be exempted from the requirement for an RWP or equivalent while performing their assigned duties provided that they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry to, exit from, and work in such areas.
- d. Each individual or group entering such an area shall possess:
- 1. A radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area; or
- 2. A radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the radiation dose rates in the area and alarms when the device's dose alarm setpoint is reached,
- with an appropriate alarm setpoint, or
- 3. A radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information to a remote receiver monitored by radiation protection personnel responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure within the area, or ARKANSAS - UNIT 2 6-21 Amendment No.
