Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 2 of 25 Introduction The proposed changes revise the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TS) to adopt eight generic improvements, known as Travelers. These Travelers have been incorporated into subsequent revisions of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS), including NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Plants," and are applicable to the Turkey Point TS as described below. These changes have been reviewed generically and approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Background

Since Revision 1 of the ISTS was published in 1995, the industry and the NRC staff have identified additional ISTS improvements. These improvements are proposed by the industry Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) and referenced by a TSTF number. Following industry acceptance and NRC staff approval, the NRC incorporates the Traveler into the ISTS. In most cases, these changes are generally applicable to individual plants and may be adopted by license amendment into plant-specific Technical Specifications.

The Turkey Point TS are not based on the ISTS. However, these Travelers, including the justification accepted by the NRC, are applicable to the Turkey Point TS, as described below. Note that when quoting text from the ISTS, text that is plant-specific is surrounded by brackets (i.e., "[1" and "]").

Description and Justification of the Proposed Changes Each Traveler is treated as a separate and complete entity in order to facilitate the presentation and review of the proposed changes. The following format is used for the descriptions and justifications of the proposed changes:

  • Traveler Title - identifies the Traveler number and title
  • NRC Approval - provides the reference for the approval of the Traveler
  • Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change - provides a summary description of the proposed TS change associated with this Traveler

Title:

TSTF-5, Revision 1, "Delete safety limit violation notification requirements."

NRC Approval: Letter from C. I. Grimes (NRC) to J. Davis (NEI) dated September 27, 1996.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change deletes notification, reporting, and restarts requirements from the TS if a safety limit is violated. Section 6.7 of the Turkey Point TS is deleted and is being replaced with the term "DELETED," and the references to Specification 6.7.1 are being deleted from TS 2.1.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-5 deleted ISTS Safety Limit (SL) Violation action 2.2.3, which required notifying the NRC Operations Center within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72, action 2.2.4, which required notifying the [Plant Superintendent and Vice President - Nuclear Operations] within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, action 2.2.5, which required submitting a Licensee Event Report to the NRC, the [offsite review function],

and the [Plant Superintendent, and Vice President - Nuclear Operations] pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73 within 30 days, and action 2.2.6, which stated that operation of the unit shall not be resumed until authorized by the NRC.

Turkey Point TS Section 2.1, "Safety Limits," Specification 2.1.1, Action, and Specification 2.1.2, Action, state that if a Safety Limit is exceeded, comply with the requirements of Specification 6.7.1.

Turkey Point TS Section 6.7, "Safety Limit Violation," Specification 6.7.1 requires notifying the NRC Operations Center within one hour in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72, notifying the Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO) and the Company Nuclear Review Board (CNRB) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, preparing and submitting a Licensee Event Report (LER) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73, and submitting the LER to the CNRB and the CNO within 30 days, and prohibits critical operation of the unit until authorized by the NRC.

The ISTS requirements that were deleted by TSTF-5 and the Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent. The remaining Turkey Point TS and ISTS Safety Limit Violation actions are equivalent.

Justification This change deletes requirements from TS that are duplicative or contained in other regulations or required to comply with regulations, as described below:

Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.36(c)(1)(i)(A) states, "If any safety limit is exceeded, the reactor must be shut down. The licensee shall notify the Commission, review the matter, and record the results of the review, including the cause of the condition and the basis for corrective action taken to preclude recurrence. Operation must not be resumed until authorized by the Commission. The licensee shall retain the record of the results of each review until the Commission terminates the license for the reactor, except for nuclear power reactors licensed under

§ 50.21(b) or § 50.22 of this part. For these reactors, the licensee shall notify the Commission as required by § 50.72 and submit a Licensee Event Report to the Commission as required by § 50.73."

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 5 of 25 Specification 6.7.l.a requires in part that the NRC Operations Center be notified by telephone as soon as practical and in all cases within one hour after a safety limit has been violated, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72. This part of the specification duplicates 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(I)(A) and 10 CFR 50.72. 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(I)(A) requires notifying the Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 if any safety limit is exceeded.

Specification 6.7.1.a also requires that the CNO and the CNRB be notified within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a safety limit violation. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> limit to inform the CNO and the CNRB may be deleted without significant consequence, because an event as significant as the violation of a safety limit will be reported to company management and the review board in accordance with company policies and procedures. The timing and reporting to management and internal oversight organizations is a Company-internal procedural issue not appropriate for Technical Specifications.

Specification 6.7.1.b requires that a Licensee Event Report (LER) be prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73. This specification duplicates the requirements of CFR 50.36(c)(1)(i)(A) which requires the submission of a Licensee Event Report to the Commission as required by § 50.73 and by 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(I)(A), which requires the submittal of a LER for, "The completion of any nuclear plant shutdown required by the plant's Technical Specifications."

Specification 6.7.1 .c requires in part that the LER be submitted to the Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73. This action is duplicative of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(i)(A) and is merely a directive to follow a federal regulation. This action does not need to be stated in the TS.

Specification 6.7.1.c also requires that the LER be submitted to the CNRB and the CNO within 30 days after discovery of the event. The Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQAR) and Chapter 12 of the Turkey Point Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) describe the process for on-site and off-site safety committee reviews of reportable events. The timing of reporting to management and internal oversight organizations is a Company-internal procedural issue not appropriate for the Technical Specifications.

Specification 6.7.1.d requires that critical operation of the unit shall not be resumed until authorized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This specification duplicates the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(i)(A) which requires that "Operation must not be resumed until authorized by the Commission" if any safety limit is exceeded.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Title:

TSTF-93, Revision 3, "Change the Frequency of Pressurizer Heater Testing from 92 Days to [18] Months" NRC Approval: The Traveler was approved on October 3, 1997 and was incorporated in Revision 2 of NUREG-1431, dated April 2, 2002.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change to Specification 3.4.3, "Pressurizer," revises the pressurizer heater testing frequency in Surveillance 4.4.3.2 from 92 days to 18 months and eliminates details on how the test is performed.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-93 revised ISTS Surveillance Requirement 3.4.9.2, which states, "Verify capacity of each required group of pressurizer heaters is > [125] kW." The Surveillance Frequency of 92 days was changed to [18] months. The Surveillance was modified by adding a Reviewer's Note which states, "The frequency for performing pressurizer heater capacity testing shall be either 18 months or 92 days, depending on whether or not the plant has dedicated safety-related heaters. For dedicated safety-related heaters, which do not normally operate, 92 days is applied. For non-dedicated safety-related heaters, which normally operate, 18 months is applied."

Turkey Point TS Surveillance Requirement 4.4.3.2 states, "The capacity of each of the above required groups of pressurizer heaters shall be verified by energizing the heaters and measuring circuit current at least once per 92 days." The Surveillance Requirement is being revised to be consistent with the ISTS by stating, "The capacity of each of the above required groups of pressurizer heaters shall be verified to be at least 125 kW at least once per 18 months." The Turkey Point pressurizer heaters are non-dedicated safety-related heaters which normally operate.

The ISTS Surveillance Requirement affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point Surveillance Requirement are equivalent.

Justification The frequency for Turkey Point Surveillance Requirement 4.4.3.2 is being changed to once per 18 months. NUREG-1366, "Improvements to Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements,"

Section 6.6, "Pressurizer Heaters," states, "Most pressurizer heaters are in constant use, both the proportional and to some extent the backup heaters. Therefore, operators should be aware of problems that may arise with pressurizer heaters. In addition, pressurizer heaters are fairly reliable."

The TS surveillance tests for both units for the last five years were reviewed to assess the historical test results and the performance of the pressurizer heaters. The results of the review confirmed that the TS surveillance requirement was always met. The NRC recommended in NUREG-1366 that pressurizer heaters be tested once each refueling interval at plants that meet this criteria. TSTF-93 implemented this recommendation in the ISTS. As described above, the Reviewer's Note states that plants that have non-dedicated safety-related heaters, the appropriate surveillance requirement interval is 18 months. The Turkey Point pressurizer heaters are non-dedicated safety-related heaters

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 8 of 25 that normally operate. Therefore, the appropriate interval for the Turkey Point surveillance requirement is 18 months.

The existing Turkey Point Surveillance Requirement specifies how to perform the surveillance by stating "by energizing the heaters and measuring circuit current." This phrase is being deleted. It is not necessary for the TS to state the method of verifying that a limit is met. Information on acceptable methods for performing the testing is being located in the Bases. This presentation is consistent with the ISTS.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Turkey Point TS Pages Affected 3/4 4-9 Turkey Point TS Bases Pages Affected Page 52 Licensing Precedent There are no identified previous licensing actions for adoption of TSTF-93. However, TSTF-93 is based on a recommendation in NUREG-1366. NUREG-1366 was distributed to licensees as an NRC recommended improvement under Generic Letter 93-06, "Line-Item Technical Specifications Improvements to Reduce Surveillance Requirements for Testing During Power Operations," Item 6.6. There are multiple precedents for adopting this change. An example is Byron Units 1 and 2 and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 which requested adoption of the same changes that are in TSTF-93 on October 3, 1995. The request was approved by the NRC in a letter dated April 10, 1996 as Byron Amendment 82 and Braidwood Amendment 84.

Title:

TSTF-95, Revision 0, "Revise Completion Time for Reducing Power Range High Trip Setpoint from 8 to 72 Hours" NRC Approval: Letter from C. I. Grimes (NRC) to J. Davis (NEI) dated September 27, 1996.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change extends the time allowed to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following a power reduction due to Axial Flux Difference, FQ(Z), FNAH, or Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio exceeding the limit. The affected specifications are 3.2.1, "Axial Flux Difference, 3.2.2, "Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ (Z)," 3.2.3, "Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor," 3.2.4, "Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio," 3.1.3 "Movable Control Assemblies," and 3.3.1 "Reactor Trip System Instrumentation."

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-95 revised the completion times for required actions that require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint. ISTS Specification 3.2.1, FQ(Z), states that with FQ(Z) not within the limit, reduce thermal power > 1% RTP for each 1% FQ(Z) exceeds the limit and reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints > 1% for each 1% FQ(Z) exceeds the limit. ISTS Specification 3.2.2, FNA H,states that with FNAH not within the limit, reduce thermal power to < 50%

RTP and reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints to < 55% RTP. TSTF-95 extended the completion times to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Turkey Point TS 3.2.2, Action a, states that when FQ(Z) is not within the limit, reduce thermal power 1% for each 1% FQ(Z) exceeds the limit within 15 minutes and reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints within the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. TS 3.2.3, Action a.2, states that when FN&H exceeds the limit, reduce thermal power to less than 50% of rated thermal power within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints to less than or equal to 55% of rated thermal power within the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The action times to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux

- High trip setpoints are being changed from the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after entering the action.

The ISTS requirements affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent.

In addition, Turkey Point TS 3.2.1, Action a.2, states that when the Axial Flux Difference is outside the limits, reduce thermal power to less than 50% of rated thermal power within 30 minutes and reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint to less than 55% of rated thermal power within the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. TS 3.2.4, Actions a.2.b), a.3, b.3, and c.2, also require reducing thermal power for various conditions in which the Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio limit is exceeded and reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint within the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The equivalent specifications in the ISTS, 3.2.3, Axial Flux Difference (AFD) and 3.2.4, Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio (QPTR), do not require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint. The Turkey Point TS 3.2.1 and 3.2.4 actions are being revised to allow 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit to

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 10 of 25 reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint consistent with the changes made by TSTF-95 and the proposed changes to TS 3.2.2 and 3.2.3, described above.

Similarly, Turkey Point TS 3.1.3.1, Action (d)(3)(a) states that when a full length rod is declared inoperable, and the shutdown margin requirement of Specification 3.1.1.1 is satisfied, power operation may continue provided that the thermal power level is reduced to less than or equal to 75%

RTP and within the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, the power range neutron flux high trip setpoint is reduced to less than or equal to 85% of RTP. The equivalent specification in the ISTS, Rod Group Alignment Limits, Section 3.1.4, action B, requires the thermal power be reduced to 75% RTP, but does not require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint. The Turkey Point TS 3.1.3.1 actions are being revised to allow 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint consistent with the changes made by TSTF-95 and the proposed changes to TS 3.2.2 and 3.2.3, described above.

In addition, Turkey Point TS 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1, action 2, for Power Range, Neutron Flux listed as a "functional unit" in Table 3.3-1, "Reactor Trip System Instrumentation" requires that with the number of operable channels one less than the total number of channels, startup and/or power operation may proceed provided certain conditions are satisfied. "Condition c" is to either restrict thermal power to less than or equal to 75% of RTP and adjust the Power Range Neutron Flux Trip Setpoint to less than or equal to 85% of RTP within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />; or monitor the Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio per Specification 4.2.4.2. The Turkey Point action 2 is being revised to adjust the Power Range Neutron Flux Trip Setpoint to less than or equal to 85% of RTP within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, rather than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, as part of condition c. The equivalent ISTS TS is 3.3.1, "Reactor Trip Instrumentation,"

Condition D and does not require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint.

Justification The action time of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux-High trip setpoints after a power reduction presents an unjustified burden on the operation of the plant. The proposed action time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit will allow time to perform a second flux map to confirm the results, or determine that the condition was temporary, without implementing an unnecessary trip setpoint change. Following a significant power reduction, at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> are required to reestablish steady state xenon prior to taking a flux map. An additional 8 to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is required to obtain a flux map, and analyze the data. Extending the time to reduce the trip setpoints will allow time for this analysis.

Delaying the reduction in the trip setpoints until after the condition can be confirmed eliminates a potential trip initiator. A significant potential for human error is created by requiring the trip setpoints to be reduced within the same time frame that a unit power reduction is taking place.

Setpoint adjustment is estimated to take approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> per channel, which includes establishment of plant condition supportive of removing a channel from service, tripping of bistables, setpoint adjustments, and channel restoration. An additional 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> is estimated for necessary initial preparations, such as pre-job brief, calibration equipment checks, and obtaining tools and approvals. Therefore, to reduce the trip setpoint for all 4 channels can reasonably take 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br />.

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 11 of 25 The proposed action time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit is reasonable given the time to reduce power, providing 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to perform and analyze a flux map to confirm the limit is exceeded, and 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> to reduce the trip setpoints.

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> action time is sufficient considering the small likelihood of a severe transient in this period and the preceding prompt reduction in thermal power in accordance with the TS actions.

The ISTS Actions for Axial Flux Difference, Rod Group Alignment Limits, Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, and Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio do not require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints. Nevertheless, it is proposed to conservatively maintain an action to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints for Turkey Point, but to change the action time to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit. The justification for the change to provide 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to reduce the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoint is equally applicable to the Axial Flux Difference, Rod Group Alignment Limits, Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, and Quadrant Power Tilt Ration Actions in the Turkey Point Technical Specifications because the reason for reducing the trip setpoints does not affect the time required to perform the task. Therefore, this change is being made to those actions as well.

TSTF-95 does not affect ISTS 3.1.4 Rod Group Alignment Limits, 3.2.3, Axial Flux Difference (AED), ISTS 3.2.4, Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio (QPTR), or 3.3.1 Reactor Trip System Instrumentation because the Actions for those specifications do not require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints if the respective limits are not met. The Traveler was only directed at ISTS specification actions that required reducing those trip setpoints. However, TSTF-95 is applicable to Turkey Point TS 3/4.2.1, Axial Flux Difference, 3/4.1.3 Movable Control Assemblies, 3/4.2.4, Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio, and 3/4.3.1 Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, because these specifications require reducing the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip setpoints if their respective limits are not met. The justification for extending the action time to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after exceeding the limit for these specifications is the same as described in the Traveler. The specific reasons for reducing the trip setpoints in Turkey Point TS 3/4.2.1, 314.1.3, 3/4.2.4 and 3/4.3.1 are different than the ISTS actions changed by the Traveler; that is, different parameters are not meeting their TS limits. However, the action requirement is exactly the same, and so it is appropriate to allow the same amount of time to complete the action.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Title:

TSTF-101, Revision 0, "Change AFW pump testing frequency to be 'In accordance with the Inservice Testing Program"'

NRC Approval: Letter from C. I. Grimes (NRC) to J. Davis (NEI) dated September 27, 1996.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change to TS 3/4.7.1.2, "Auxiliary Feedwater System," revises the surveillance frequency for the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) pumps from 31 days on a Staggered Test Bases to a frequency set by the inservice testing (IST) program, and removes the specific flow rate limit.

Procedural details are also being deleted from the Surveillance Requirements.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-101 revised ISTS 3.7.5, "Auxiliary Feedwater System." Surveillance Requirement 3.7.5.2 requires verifying the developed head for each AFW pump at the flow test point is greater than or equal to the required developed head. TSTF-101 revised the surveillance frequency from 31 days on a Staggered Test Basis to a frequency set by the Inservice Testing Program. The ISTS surveillance also contains a note which states that the Surveillance is not required to be performed for the turbine driven AFW pump until [24 hours] after 2 [1000] psig in the steam generator. The purpose of the note is to allow entering the mode of applicability to establish the necessary conditions to perform the test.

Turkey Point Surveillance Requirement 4.7.1.2.1.a.1) requires verifying by control panel indication and visual observation of equipment that each steam-driven pump operates for 15 minutes or greater and verifying that flow is greater than or equal to 373 gpm at the entrance of the steam generators every 31 days on a Staggered Test Basis. Surveillance Requirement 4.7.1.2.1.a.1 also states that the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable for entry into Modes 2 and 3. This surveillance is being replaced by a surveillance that is consistent with ISTS SR 3.7.5.2. The revised surveillance requires testing each AFW pump and verifying that the developed head at the flow test point is greater than or equal to the required developed head when tested in accordance with Specification 4.0.5. Turkey Point Specification 4.0.5 is equivalent to the Inservice Testing Program specified in the ISTS. Additionally, the exception to Specification 4.0.4 is being retained as part of the proposed change. Specification 4.0.4 states, "Entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement(s) associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation has been performed within the stated surveillance interval or as otherwise specified. This provision shall not prevent passage through or to OPERATIONAL MODES as required to comply with ACTION requirements." The exception to Specification 4.0.4 is equivalent to the ISTS note to allow entering the mode of applicability in order to establish the conditions to perform the surveillance.

The Turkey Point Surveillance 4.7.1.2.1.a.2) requires verifying the auxiliary feedwater discharge valves and the steam supply and turbine pressure valves operate as required to deliver the required flow during the pump performance test in Surveillance 4.2.1.2.a.1). This surveillance is being deleted consistent with ISTS 3.7.5.

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 14 of 25 The ISTS Surveillance Requirement affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point Surveillance Requirement are equivalent.

Justification This change will result in the testing frequency of the AFW pumps being in accordance with the inservice testing program (i.e., Specification 4.0.5) consistent with other pumps required by the Technical Specifications, such as charging pumps and containment spray pumps. This will eliminate any potential ambiguity associated with AFW pump testing as a result of ASME changes, and results in consistent presentation of pump testing throughout the Technical Specifications. This frequency for testing AFW pumps is consistent with the ASME Code requirements. Such inservice tests confirm component operability, trend performance, and detect incipient failures by indicating abnormal performance.

The other changes to the Surveillance make the testing requirements consistent with the testing requirements of other pumps in the TS, which do not specify:

  • a minimum operating time
  • flow rate
  • that support systems, such as discharge valves and control valves, operate or
  • the flow rate test point.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Title:

TSTF-258, Revision 5, "Changes to Section 5.0, Administrative Controls" NRC Approval: Letter from W. D. Beckner (NRC) to J. Davis (NEI) dated June 29, 1999.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change revises the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications to adopt several improvements to unit staffing, working hour limitations, the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program, and reporting.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-258 made seven changes to the Administrative Controls section of the ISTS.

  • It deleted requirements for a licensed operator to be present in the control room when fuel is in the reactor vessel and for a senior licensed operator to be in the control room when either unit is in Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4 in ISTS 5.2.2 since 10CFR50.54(k) and (in) require this.
  • It eliminated details from working hour limitations from ISTS 5.2.2.
  • It clarified the requirements for the Shift Technical Advisor function in ISTS 5.2.2.
  • It modified the unit staff requirements in ISTS 5.3 to add elements required to be in the Technical Specifications by 10 CFR 55.4.
  • It revised the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program in ISTS 5.5.4 to be consistent with 10 CFR 20 and to make other improvements.
  • It revised the Monthly Operating Report in ISTS 5.6.4 to eliminate the requirement to report challenges to the pressurizer power operated relief valves and safety valves.

Turkey Point Specification 6.2.2.b contains the same requirement for at least one licensed operator to be in the control room when fuel is in either reactor as is deleted by TSTF-258. Specification 6.2.2.c contains the same requirement for at least one senior licensed operator to be in the control room when either unit is in Mode 1, 2, 3, or 4 as is deleted by TSTF-258. The TS requirements are being deleted to be consistent with the ISTS and the changes made in TSTF-258.

Turkey Point Specification 6.8.5 contains working hour limitations very similar to the changes made in TSTF-258. However, the changes in TSTF-258 related to periodic review of overtime to ensure excessive hours have not been assigned are not consistent with the Turkey Point TS. TSTF-258 replaced the requirement for the plant manager or his designee to review individual overtime monthly with a requirement for periodic independent review. Specification 6.8.5 requires a monthly review by the plant manager or his designee. The TS requirements are being revised to be consistent with the ISTS and the changes made in TSTF-258.

Turkey Point Specification 6.2.3, Shift Technical Advisor, contains requirements on the responsibilities and qualifications of engineering expertise on shift. The TS requirements are being revised to be consistent with the ISTS and the changes made in TSTF-258. The changes include revising the Section title from "Shift Technical Advisor" to "Shift Technical Advisor Function", and

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 16 of 25 deleting the explicit presentation of the educational requirements for the Shift Technical Advisor function.

Turkey Point Specification 6.3, Facility Staff Qualifications, is being modified to include a statement that a senior licensed operator performs the functions described in 10 CFR 50.54(m). This change is administrative and establishes consistency with 10 CFR 55.4. This change is consistent with the addition to the ISTS made by TSTF-258.

The Turkey Point Specification 6.8.4.f, Radioactive Effluent Controls Program, requirements are consistent with the ISTS Radioactive Effluent Controls Program requirements affected by TSTF-258.

The changes made to the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program by TSTF-258 are directly applicable to the Turkey Point TS. The TS requirements are being revised to be consistent with the ISTS and the changes made by TSTF-258. The changes include revising Turkey Point Specification 6.8.4.f.2 to be consistent with 10 CFR 20, revising Specifications 6.8.4.f.7 and 6.8.4.f.10 to include editorial clarifications that do not change the intent of the requirements and to be more consistent with the ISTS, and explicitly specifying that the provisions of Specifications 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 are applicable to the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program surveillance frequencies.

Turkey Point Specification 6.9.1.5, Monthly Operating Reports, contains a requirement to document all challenges to the pressurizer power operated relief valves (PORVs) or safety valves. TSTF-258 eliminated this requirement. The TS requirements are being revised to be consistent with the ISTS and the changes made by TSTF-258.

Turkey Point Specification 6.12, High Radiation Area, requirements are consistent with the ISTS High Radiation Area requirements that were replaced by TSTF-258. Turkey Point Specification 6.12 is not being revised at this time.

The affected ISTS requirements and the revised Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent.

Justification TSTF-258 deleted requirements in ISTS 5.2 for a licensed operator to be present in the control room when fuel is in the reactor vessel and for a senior licensed operator to be in the control room when either unit is in Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4. These requirements appear in Turkey Point Specifications 6.2.2.b and 6.2.2.c. The deleted requirements are not needed in the Technical Specifications as they are already required by the Code of Federal Regulations. The requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) and 50.54(k) adequately provide for shift manning. These regulations, 50.54(m)(2)(iii), require "when a nuclear power unit is in an operational mode other than cold shutdown or refueling, as defined by the unit's technical specifications, each licensee shall have a person holding a senior operator license for the nuclear power unit in the control room at all times.

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." Further, 50.54(k) requires "An operator or senior operator licensed pursuant to part 55 of this chapter shall be present at the controls at all times during the operation of the facility." The requirements will be met through compliance with these regulations and are not required to be reiterated in the Technical Specifications.

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 17 of 25 TSTF-258 eliminated specific working hour limitations from ISTS 5.2.2. Turkey Point Specification 6.8.5 is being revised to delete the requirement that controls shall be included in the procedures such that individual overtime shall be reviewed monthly by the plant manager or his designee to ensure that excessive hours have not been assigned. There is no guidance in Generic Letter 82-12, "Nuclear Power Plant Staff Working Hours," that discusses these additional controls. The additional requirement to have the plant manager (or his designee) review individual overtime on a monthly bases is unnecessary since sufficient administrative controls and policies exist, as well as the role of the individual's supervisors, in preventing excessive or abuse of overtime. The requirement for the monthly review by the plant manager or his designee is being replaced by a requirement to perform a periodic independent review.

TSTF-258 clarified the requirements for the Shift Technical Advisor function in ISTS 5.2.2. Turkey Point Specification 6.2.3 is revised to eliminate the title of "Shift Technical Advisor" (STA) so that it does not imply that the STA and the Shift Supervisor must be different individuals. Option 1 of the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift is satisfied by assigning an individual with specified educational qualifications to each operating crew as one of the SROs (preferably the shift supervisor) required by 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) to provide the technical expertise on shift. This change is also consistent with note *** of Table 6.2-1, "Minimum Shift Crew Composition." In addition, the requirement that the advisor have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a scientific or engineering discipline is being deleted. Educational requirements are specified in the Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift, which is referenced in Specification 6.2.3, and do not need to be repeated in the Technical Specifications. Eliminating this phrase is consistent with the ISTS requirements.

TSTF-258 modified the unit staff requirements of ISTS 5.3 to add elements required to be in the Technical Specifications by 10 CFR 55.4. The definitions in 10 CFR 55.4 state: "Actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator means that an individual has a position on the shift crew that requires the individual to be licensed as defined in the facility's technical specifications, and that ...." TSTF-258 added to ISTS 5.3, "For the purpose of 10 CFR 55.4, a licensed Senior Operator and a licensed reactor operator are those individuals who, in addition to meeting the requirements of TS 5.3.1, perform the functions described in 10 CFR 50.54(m)." A similar paragraph is added to Turkey Point Specification 6.3. Adding a paragraph to Specification 6.3 referencing 10 CFR 55.4 ensures that there is no misunderstanding when complying with 10 CFR 55.4 requirements. Adding this paragraph is consistent with the recommendations in the April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes (NRC) to J. Davis (NEI).

TSTF-258 revised the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program in ISTS 5.5.4 to be consistent with 10 CFR 20 and to make other improvements. Turkey Point Specification 6.8.4.f.2 is being revised to specify a limit "conforming to ten times the concentration values in Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 to 10 CFR 20.1001 - 20.2402." Enclosure 3 to Generic Letter 89-01 provided model Technical Specifications that satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, which was the current applicable regulatory requirement at the time. The Turkey Point TS requirements are consistent with Generic Letter 89-01. In 1991, Part 20 was revised. The change to Specification 6.8.4.f.2 is intended to

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 18 of 25 eliminate possible confusion or improper implementation of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 requirements. Specifications 6.8.4.f.7 and 6.8.4.f.10 are being revised to include editorial clarifications that do not change the intent of the requirements and to be more consistent with the ISTS. The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are being applied to the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program surveillance frequencies to allow for scheduling flexibility. Specification 4.0.2 permits a 25% extension of the specified frequency (31 days). Allowing a 25% extension of the frequency of performing the cumulative dose and projected dose calculation will have no affect on the outcome of the calculations. The provisions of Specification 4.0.3 are also being applied to the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program. Specification 4.0.3 specifies the requirements if a Surveillance Requirement is missed. Adding these requirements to the Radiological Effluent Controls Program establishes consistency with the other Surveillance Requirements in the TS, and is consistent with the ISTS and the changes made by TSTF-258.

TSTF-258 revised the monthly operating report requirements in ISTS 5.6.4 to eliminate the requirement to report challenges to the pressurizer power operated relief valves (PORVs) and safety valves. The reporting of pressurizer safety and relief valve failures and challenges is based on the guidance of NUREG-0694, "TMI-Related Requirements for New Operating Licensees." This guidance states, "Assure that any failure of a PORV or safety valve to close will be reported to the NRC promptly. All challenges to the PORVs or safety valves should be documented in the annual report." NRC Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report," requested the submittal of less information in the monthly operating report. The Generic Letter specifies information that needs to be reported to support the NRC Performance Indicator Program, and availability and capacity statistics. The Generic Letter does not specify that challenges to the pressurizer PORVs and safety valves should be reported. Given that the NRC no longer requires the reporting of this information for the Performance Indicator Program, it is acceptable to delete the requirement to provide documentation of all challenges to the PORVs or safety valves from Specification 6.9.1.5.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Title:

TSTF-299, Revision 0, "Administrative Controls Program 5.5.2.b Test Interval and Exception" NRC Approval: Letter from W. D. Beckner (NRC) to A. R. Pietrangelo (NEI) dated October 31, 2000.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change clarifies the meaning of "refueling cycle" for system integrated leak test intervals in the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment program in Specification 6.8.4.a. In addition, the proposed change also specifies that the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are applicable to these test intervals.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-299 revised the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment program in ISTS 5.5.2. The Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment program requires that the program include integrated leak test requirements for each system at refueling cycle intervals or less. TSTF-299 revised the program to require the integrated leak test requirements for each system at least every 18 months.

In addition, the program was modified to state that the requirements of Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2 are applicable.

Turkey Point Specification 6.8.4.a, Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment, is consistent with the program in the ISTS and contains the same requirements. The Turkey Point program is being revised to require testing at least every 18 months instead of refueling cycle intervals or less. The program is also being revised to specify that the requirements of Specification 4.0.2 are applicable.

Specification 4.0.2 is equivalent to ISTS Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2. Both allow the frequency of testing to be extended by 25%.

The ISTS requirements affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent.

Justification The fixed testing frequency of 18 months is more precise than the existing frequency of at least once per refueling cycle and is more consistent with similar requirements in the Turkey Point TS. The system leak testing is similar to a Surveillance Requirement. Specification 4.0.2 permits Surveillance Requirement frequencies to be extended by 25%. For consistency with the other Surveillance Requirements, the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are being applied to the system leak testing. The applicability of Specification 4.0.2 must be explicitly stated in Specification 6.8.4.a because Specification 4.0.2 only applies to the Surveillance Requirement sections (Sections 4.1 through 4.10). The Specification 4.0.2 provision also provides the needed flexibility to perform the leak testing during a refueling outage should the previous fuel cycle be extended due to a lengthy forced shutdown. The revised test interval combined with the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 is equivalent to the existing requirement, provided the interval between refueling outages is no greater

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 21 of 25 than 22.5 months (18 months plus 25%) for plants on an 18 month fuel cycle. As Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are on an 18 month fuel cycle, this change is administrative.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Title:

TSTF-308, Revision 1, "Determination of Cumulative and Projected Dose Contributions in RECP" NRC Approval: June 27, 2000 as referenced in the NRC Safety Evaluation contained in the letter from G. S. Vissing (NRC) to P. E. Katz (Calvert Cliffs) dated July 16, 2003.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change to Specification 6.8.4.f, "Radioactive Effluent Controls Program," clarifies the requirements for the determination of cumulative and projected dose contributions from radioactive effluents.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-308 revised the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program requirements for the determination of cumulative and projected dose contributions to describe the actual intent of the requirement (ISTS Specification 5.5.4.e). The ISTS stated, "Determination of cumulative and projected dose contributions from radioactive effluent for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM at least every 31 days." TSTF-308 revised the requirement to state, "Determination of cumulative dose contributions from radioactive effluents for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM at least every 31 days. Determination of projected dose contributions from radioactive effluents in accordance with the methodology in the ODCM at least every 31 days."

Turkey Point TS 6.8.4.f, "Radioactive Effluent Controls Program," is consistent with the program in the ISTS. The current paragraph (6.8.4.f.5) regarding determination of cumulative and projected dose contributions from radioactive effluents is worded the same as the paragraph that was revised by TSTF-308. The wording being adopted in the Turkey Point TS is consistent with the change made by TSTF-308.

The ISTS Radioactive Effluent Controls Program requirements affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent.

Justification TSTF-308 was proposed because there was concern that the text of this requirement can be misinterpreted to require determining projected dose contribution for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year every 31 days. The current Turkey Point wording was specified in Generic Letter 89-01, "Implementation of Programmatic Controls for Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETSs) in the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications and the Relocation of Procedural Details of RETSs to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual or to the Process Control Program." Generic Letter 89-01 provided new programmatic controls for radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring that were to be incorporated into the TS to conform to the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50. The pre-Generic Letter 89-01 requirements required determining the

Enclosure I to L-2005-008 Page 23 of 25 cumulative dose contributions every 31 days, and required determining projected dose contributions every 31 days, but did not require determining projected dose contributions for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year every 31 days.

The NRC Staffs draft standard technical specifications for 4-loop Westinghouse plants (documented in a August 14, 1987 letter to Texas Utilities) included Radioactive Effluent Technical Specifications. Surveillance 4.11.1.2 for liquid effluents states, "Cumulative dose contributions from liquid effluents for the current calendar quarter and the current calendar year shall be determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) at least once per 31 days." Surveillance 4.11.1.3.1 for the liquid radioactive waste treatment system states, "Doses due to liquid releases from each unit to unrestricted areas shall be projected at least once per 31 days in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM when liquid radioactive waste treatment systems are not being fully utilized."

Generic Letter 89-01 appears to have combined these two surveillance requirements for cumulative and projected doses. In combining these requirements in Generic Letter 89-01, the new program element can be interpreted to require determining projected dose contribution for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year every 31 days. This was not the NRC's intention. TSTF-308 clarified the requirement by stating, "Determination of cumulative dose contributions from radioactive effluents for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM at least every 31 days. Determination of projected dose contributions from radioactive effluents in accordance with the methodology in the ODCM at least every 31 days."

Title:

TSTF-361, Revision 2, "Allow Standby SDC/RHRIDHR Loop to be Inoperable to Support Testing" NRC Approval: Letter from W. D. Beckner (NRC) to A. R. Pietrangelo (NEI) dated October 31, 2000.

Description of Proposed Turkey Point TS Change The proposed change adds a note to the residual heat removal requirements during Mode 6 low water level operations (TS 3.9.8.2) which allows one required RHR loop to be inoperable for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for surveillance testing provided the other RHR loop is operable and in operation.

Comparison of the Turkey Point TS Requirements to the ISTS and Differences Between the Proposed TS Changes and the Traveler TSTF-361 revised ISTS 3.9.6, which requires two residual heat removal (RHR) loops to be operable and one loop to be in operation in Mode 6 when the water level less than 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel flange. TSTF-361 added an LCO note which allows one of the required RHR loops to be inoperable for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for required surveillance testing provided the other loop is operable and in operation.

Turkey Point TS 3.9.8.2 requires two independent RHR loops to be operable and at least one loop to be in operation in Mode 6 when the water level above the top of the reactor vessel flange is less than 23 feet. A footnote is being added which allows one required RHR loop to be inoperable for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for surveillance testing, provided that the other RHR loop is operable and in operation.

The ISTS requirements affected by this Traveler and the revised Turkey Point TS requirements are equivalent.

Justification Turkey Point Specification 3.9.8.2 currently does not allow the non-operating RHR loop to be made inoperable to support surveillance testing. The allowance is needed to provide the flexibility to perform surveillance testing while ensuring that there is reasonable time for operators to respond to and mitigate any expected failures. Therefore, to support required outage activities and still maintain the plant in a safe condition, this footnote should be added to Specification 3.9.8.2.

As discussed above, the justification presented in the Traveler is applicable to Turkey Point. The Traveler is being adopted by Turkey Point with no significant changes.

Enclosure 2 to L-2005-008 Page 4 of 5 Determination of No Significant Hazards Consideration The standards used to arrive at a determination that a request for amendment involves a no significant hazards consideration are included in the Commission's regulation, 10 CFR 50.92, which states that no significant hazards considerations are involved if the 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. Each standard is discussed as follows:

(1) Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes revise administrative requirements, actions, action times, surveillance requirements and surveillance frequencies. The revised requirements are not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the probability of any accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased by the proposed changes.

The Technical Specifications continue to require the systems, structures, and components associated with the revised requirements to be operable. Therefore, any mitigation functions assumed in the accident analyses will continue to be performed. As a result, the consequences of any accident previously evaluated are not significantly increased.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

(2) Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

The proposed changes do not alter the design or physical configuration of the plant. No changes are being made to the plant that would introduce any new accident causal mechanisms. The proposed changes do not affect any other plant equipment. Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

(3) Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The proposed changes do not change the design or function of plant equipment. The proposed changes do not significantly reduce the level of assurance that any associated plant equipment will be available to perform its function. The proposed changes provide operating flexibility without significantly affecting plant operation. Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Enclosure 2 to L-2005-008 Page 5 of 5 Based on the above, we have determined that the proposed amendment does not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety; and therefore does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

Enclosure 3 to L-2005-008 Page I of 2 ENCLOSURE 3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Enclosure 3 to L-2005-008 Page 2 of 2 Environmental Consideration The proposed license amendments change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The proposed amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released off-site, and no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. FPL has concluded that the proposed amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and therefore, meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Hence, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need not be prepared in connection with issuance of the amendments.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (Continued) 314A.2 SAFETY VALVES (Continued)

Demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code. The pressurizer code safety valves' lift settings allows a +2%, -3% setpoint tolerance for OPERABILITY; however, the valves are reset to within +/-1% during the surveillance to allow for drift.

3/4.4.3 PRESSURIZER The 12-hour periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the maximum water volume parameter is restored to within its limit following expected transient operation. The maximum water volume (1133 cubic feet) ensures that a steam bubble is formed and thus the RCS is not a hydraulically solid system.

The requirement that both backup pressurizer heater groups be OPERABLE enhances the capability of the plant to control Reactor Coolant System pressure and establish natural circulation 5 3/4.4.4 RELIEF VALVES )

The opening of the power-operated relief valves (PORVs) fulfills no safety-related function and no credit is taken for their operation in the safety analysis for MODE 1, 2 or 3. Equipment necessary to establish PORV operability in Modes I and 2 is limited to Vital DC power and the Instrument Air system. Equipment necessary to establish block valve operability is limited to an AC power source.

Each PORV has a remotely operated block valve to provide a positive shutoff capability should a PORV fail in the open position.

The OPERABILITY of the PORVs and block valves is determined on the basis of their being capable of performing the following functions:

A. Manual control of PORVs to control reactor coolant system pressure. This is a function that is used as a back-up for the steam generator tube rupture and to support plant shutdown in the event of an Appendix R fire. These functions are considered to be important-to-safety, or Quality Related per the FPL Quality Assurance program.

B. Maintaining the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This is a function that is related to controlling identified leakage and ensuring the ability to detect unidentified reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage.

INSERT to TS Bases Paae 52 The Surveillance is satisfied when the power supplies are demonstrated to be capable of producing the minimum power and the associated pressurizer heaters are verified to be at their design rating. This may be done by testing the power supply output and by performing an electrical check on heater element continuity and resistance. The frequency of 18 months is considered adequate to detect heater degradation and has been shown by industry operating experience to be acceptable.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.7 PLANT SYSTEMS (Continued) 3/4.7.1.1 SAFETY VALVES (Continued) hfg = Heat of vaporization for steam at the highest MSSV opening pressure (including tolerance and accumulation) - (Btu/lbm)

N = Number of loops in plant The values calculated from this algorithm must then be adjusted lower for use in TS 3.7.1.1 to account for instrument and channel uncertainties.

Operation with less than all four MSSVs OPERABLE for each steam generator is permissible, if THERMAL POWER is proportionally limited to the relief capacity of the remaining MSSVs. This is accomplished by restricting THERMAL POWER so that the energy transfer to the most limiting steam generator is not greater than the available relief capacity in that steam generator. Table 3.7-2 allows a +/-

3% setpoint tolerance for OPERABILITY; however, the valves are reset to +/- 1%during the surveillance to allow for drift 3/4.7.1.2 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Auxiliary Feedwater System ensures that the Reactor Coolant System can be cooled down to less than 3500 F from normal operating conditions in the event of a total loss-of-offsite power. Steam can be supplied to the pump turbines from either or both units through redundant steam headers. Two D.C. motor operated valves and one A.C. motor operated valve on each unit isolate the three main steam lines from these headers. Both the D.C. and A.C. motor operated valves are powered from safety-related sources. Auxiliary feedwater can be supplied through redundant lines to the safety-related portions of the main feedwater lines to each of the steam generators. Air operated fail closed flow control valves are provided to modulate the flow to each steam generator. Each steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump has sufficient capacity for single and two unit operation to ensure that adequate feedwater flow is available to remove decay heat and reduce the Reactor Coolant System temperature to less than 3500 F when the Residual Heat Removal System may be placed into operation.

ACTION statement 2 describes the actions to be taken when both auxiliary feedwater trains are inoperable. The requirement to verify the availability of both standby feedwater pumps is to be accomplished by verifying that both pumps have successfully passed their monthly surveillance tests within the last surveillance interval. The requirement to complete this action before beginning a unit shutdown is to ensure that an alternate feedwater train is available before putting the affected unit through a transient. If no alternate feedwater trains are available, the affected unit is to stay at the same condition until an auxiliary feedwater train is returned to service, and then invoke ACTION statement I for the other train. If both standby feedwater pumps are made available before one auxiliary feedwater train is returned to an OPERABLE status, then the affected unit(s) shall be placed in at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

ACTION statement 3 describes the actions to be taken when a single auxiliary feedwater pump is inoperable. The requirement to verify that two independent auxiliary feedwater trains are OPERABLE is to be accomplished by verifying that the requirements for Table 3.7-3 have been successfully met for each train within the last surveillance interval. The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are not applicable to the third auxiliary feedwater pump provided it has not been inoperable for longer than 30 days.

INSERT to TS Bases Paae 84 Verifying that each AFW pump's developed head at the flow test point is greater than or equal to the required developed head ensures that AFW pump performance has not degraded during the cycle. Flow and differential head are normal tests of centrifugal pump performance required by Specification 4.0.5, the Inservice Testing Program. This test confirms one point on the pump design curve and is indicative of overall performance. Such inservice tests confirm component OPERABILITY, trend performance, and detect incipient failures by indicating abnormal performance. The surveillance states that Specification 4.0.4 is not applicable to entry into Modes 2 and 3 when testing the steam driven AFW pump. This allowance is required because there is insufficient steam pressure to perform the test prior to entering the applicability of the specification.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS (Continued) 3/4.9.8 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL AND COOLANT CIRCULATION The requirement that at least one residual heat removal (RHR) loop be in operation ensures that: (1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor vessel below 140 0F as required during the REFUELING MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the core to minimize the effect of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.

The requirement to have two RHR loops OPERABLE when there is less than 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange ensures that a single failure of the operating RHR loop will not result in a complete loss of residual heat removal capability. With the reactor vessel head removed and at least 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange, a large heat sink is available for core cooling. Thus, in the event of a failure of the operating RHR loop, adequate time is provided to initiate emergency procedures to cool the core. ()

The OPERABILITY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment.

3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL-REACTOR VESSEL AND STORAGE POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient shielding will be available during fuel movement and for removal of iodine in the event of a fuel handling accident. The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis.

3/4.9.12 HANDLING OF SPENT FUEL CASK Limiting spent fuel decay time from last time critical to a minimum of 1,525 hours0.00608 days <br />0.146 hours <br />8.680556e-4 weeks <br />1.997625e-4 months <br /> prior to moving a spent fuel cask into the spent fuel pit will ensure that potential offsite doses are a fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 limits should a dropped cask strike the stored fuel assemblies.

The restriction to allow only a single element cask to be moved into the spent fuel pit will ensure the maintenance of water inventory in the unlikely event of an uncontrolled cask descent. Use of a single element cask which nominally weighs about twenty-five tons will also increase crane safety margins by about a factor of four.

INSERT to TS Bases Page 110 Specification 3.9.8.2 is modified by a footnote that allows one RHR loop to be inoperable for a period of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> provided the other loop is OPERABLE and in operation. Prior to declaring the loop inoperable, consideration should be given to the existing plant configuration. This consideration should include the core time to boil, that there is no draining operation to further reduce RCS water level, and that the capability exists to inject borated water into the reactor vessel. This permits surveillance tests to be performed on the inoperable loop during a time when these tests are safe and possible.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (Continued) 3/4.4.2 SAFETY VALVES (Continued)

Demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section Xi of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code. The pressurizer code safety valves' lift settings allows a +2%, -3% setpoint tolerance for OPERABILITY; however, the valves are reset to within +/-1% during the surveillance to allow for drift.

3/4.4.3 PRESSURIZER The 12-hour periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the maximum water volume parameter is restored to within its limit following expected transient operation. The maximum water volume (1133 cubic feet) ensures that a steam bubble is formed and thus the RCS is not a hydraulically solid system.

The requirement that both backup pressurizer heater groups be OPERABLE enhances the capability of the plant to control Reactor Coolant System pressure and establish natural circulation. The Surveillance is satisfied when the power supplies are demonstrated to be capable of producing the minimum power and the associated pressurizer heaters are verified to be at their design rating. This may be dQne by testing the power supply output and by performing an electrical check on heater-element continuity and resistance. The frequency of 18 months is considered adequate to detect heater degradation and has been shown by industry operating experience to be acceptable.

3/4.4.4 RELIEF VALVES The opening of the power-operated relief valves (PORVs) fulfills no safety-related function and no credit is taken for their operation in the safety analysis for MODE 1, 2 or 3. Equipment necessary to establish PORV operability in Modes I and 2 is limited to Vital DC power and the Instrument Air system. Equipment necessary to establish block valve operability is limited to an AC power source.

Each PORV has a remotely operated block valve to provide a positive shutoff capability should a PORV fail in the open position.

The OPERABILITY of the PORVs and block valves is determined on the basis of their being capable of performing the following functions:

A. Manual control of PORVs to control reactor coolant system pressure. This is a function that is used as a back-up for the steam generator tube rupture and to support plant shutdown in the event of an Appendix R fire. These functions are considered to be important-to-safety, or Quality Related per the FPL Quality Assurance program.

B. Maintaining the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This is a function that is related to controlling identified leakage and ensuring the ability to detect unidentified reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.7 PLANT SYSTEMS (Continued) 3/4.7.1.2 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM (Continued)

ACTION statement 3 describes the actions to be taken when a single auxiliary feedwater pump is inoperable. The requirement to verify that two independent auxiliary feedwater trains are OPERABLE is to be accomplished by verifying that the requirements for Table 3.7-3 have been successfully met for each train within the last surveillance interval. The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are not applicable to the third auxiliary feedwater pump provided it has not been inoperable for longer than 30 days. This means that a unit(s) can change OPERATIONAL MODES during a unit(s) heatup with a single auxiliary feedwater pump inoperable as long as the requirements of ACTION statement 3 are satisfied.

The flow surveillance test specified in 4.7.1.2.1 .C is considered to be a general performance test for the AFW system and does not represent the limiting flow requirement for AFW, Check valves in the AFW system that require full stroke testing under limiting flow conditions are tested under' ;Technical Specification 4.0.5.

Verifying that each AFW pump's developed head at the flow test point is greater than or equal toethe required developed head ensures that AFW pump performance has not degraded during the cycle. Flow and differential head are normal tests of centrifugal pump performance required by Specification 4.0.5, the Inservice Testing Program. This test confirms one point on the pump design curve and is indicative of overall performance. Such inservice tests confirm component OPERABILITY, trend performance, and detect incipient failures by indicating abnormal performance. The surveillance states that Specification 4.0.4 is not applicable to entry into Modes 2 and 3 when testing the steam driven AFW pump. This allowance is required because there is insufficient steam pressure to perform the test prior to entering the applicability of the specification.

Proper functioning of the turbine admission valve and the operation of the pumps will demonstrate the integrity of the system. Verification of correct operation will be made both from instrumentation within the control room and direct visual observation of the pumps.

3/4.7.1.3 CONDENSATE STORAGE TANK There are two (2) seismically designed 250,000 gallons condensate storage tanks. A minimum indicated volume of 210,000 gallons is maintained for each unit in MODES 1, 2 or 3. The OPERABILITY of the condensate storage tank with the minimum indicated volume ensures that sufficient water is available to maintain the Reactor Coolant System at HOT STANDBY conditions for approximately 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br /> or maintain the Reactor Coolant System at HOT STANDBY conditions for 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> and then cool down the Reactor Coolant System to below 350'F at which point the Residual Heat Removal System may be placed in operation.

The minimum indicated volume includes an allowance for instrument indication uncertainties and for water deemed unusable because of vortex formation and the configuration of the discharge line.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS (Continued) 3/4.9.8 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL AND COOLANT CIRCULATION The requirement that at least one residual heat removal (RHR) loop be in operation ensures that: (1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor vessel below 140 0F as required during the REFUELING MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the core to minimize the effect of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.

The requirement to have two RHR loops OPERABLE when there is less than 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange ensures that a single failure of the operating RHR loop will not result in a complete loss of residual heat removal capability. With the reactor vessel head removed and at least 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange, a large heat sink is available for core cooling. Thus, in the event of a failzre of the operating RHR loop, adequate time is provided to initiate emergency procedures to cool the core.

Specification 3.9.8.2 is modified by a footnote that allows one RHR loop to be inoperable for a period of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> provided the other loop is OPERABLE and in operation. Prior to declaring the loop inoperable, consideration should be given to the existing plant configuration. This consideration should include the core time to boil, that there is no draining operation to further reduce RCS water level, and that the capability exists to inject borated water into the reactor vessel. This permits surveillance tests to be performed on the inoperable loop during a time when these tests are safe and possible.

3/4.9.9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION ISOLATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of this system ensures that the containment ventilation penetrations will be automatically isolated upon detection of high radiation levels within the containment. The OPERABILITY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment.

3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL - REACTOR VESSEL AND STORAGE POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient shielding will be available during fuel movement and for removal of iodine in the event of a fuel handling accident. The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES 3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS (Continued) 3/4.9.12 HANDLING OF SPENT FUEL CASK Limiting spent fuel decay time from last time critical to a minimum of 1,525 hours0.00608 days <br />0.146 hours <br />8.680556e-4 weeks <br />1.997625e-4 months <br /> prior to moving a spent fuel cask into the spent fuel pit will ensure that potential offsite doses are a fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 limits should a dropped cask strike the stored fuel assemblies.

The restriction to allow only a single element cask to be moved into the spent fuel pit will ensure the maintenance of water inventory in the unlikely event of an uncontrolled cask descent. Use of a single element cask which nominally weighs about twenty-five tons will also increase crane safety margins by about a factor of four.

Requiring that spent fuel decay time from last time critical be at least 120 days prior to moving a fuel assembly outside the fuel storage pit in a shipping cask will ensure that potential offsite doses are a fraction of 10 CFR 100 limits should a dropped cask and ruptured fuel assembly release activity directly to the atmosphere.

3/4.9.13 RADIATION MONITORING The OPERABILITY of the containment radiation monitors ensures continuous monitoring of radiation levels to provide immediate indication of an unsafe condition.

3/4.9.14 SPENT FUEL STORAGE The spent fuel storage racks provide safe subcritical storage of fuel assemblies by providing sufficient center-to-center spacing or a combination of spacing and poison to assure: a) Ktff <0.95 with a minimum soluble boron concentration of 650 ppm present, and b) K~fj <1.0 when flooded with unborated water for normal operations and postulated accidents.

The spent fuel racks are divided into two regions. Region I racks have a 10.6 inch center-to-center spacing and Region 11 racks have a 9.0 inch center-to-center spacing. Because of the larger center-to-center spacing and poison (131) concentration of Region I cells, the only restriction for placement of fuel is that the initial lluel assembly enrichment is equal to or less than 4.5 weight percent of U-235. The limiting value of U-235 enrichment is based upon the assumptions in the spent fuel safety analyses and assures that the limiting criteria for criticality is not exceeded. Prior to placement in Region 11 cell locations, strict controls are employed to evaluate bumup of the spent fuel assembly. Upon determination that the fuel assembly meets the burnup requirements of Table 3.9-1, placement in a Region 11 cell is authorized. These positive controls assure that fuel enrichment limits assumed in the safety analyses will not be exceeded.
