1.0 DESCRIPTION
The proposed amendment would modify technical specifications (TS) requirements for mode change limitations in LCO 3.0.4 and SR 4.0.4.
The changes are consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved Industry /
Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) STS change TSTF-359, Revision 9. On April 4, 2003, the NRC published the Notice of Availability for TSTF-359, Revision 8 in Federal Register Notice 68 FR 16585. That Federal Register Notice announced the availability of this TS improvement through the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP). The NRC subsequently made two modifications in response to comments, as well as one editorial change, which have been incorporated into TSTF-359, Rev. 9. The changes proposed in this submittal are; therefore, based. on TSTF-359, Rev. 9.
2.0 ASSESSMENT
2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation FPL has reviewed the safety evaluation published in Federal Register Notice 68 FR 16585, dated April 4, 2003, which supports the CLIIP. This review included a review of the NRC staff s evaluation, as well as supporting information provided to support TSTF-359, Revision 8 (and subsequently, Revision 9 to TSTF-359). FPL has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 and justify this amendment for incorporation of the changes into the St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 TS.
2.2 Optional Changes and Variations Insofar as the TS for St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 are custom TS, FPL is not proposing any substantive changes or variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-3 59, Revision 9 and the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated April 4, 2003.
Additional information related to each affected St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 TS is provided in the following tables.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS
3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination FPL has reviewed the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination (NSHCD) published in the Federal Register as part of the CLIIP. FPL has concluded that the proposed NSHCD presented in the Federal Register notice is applicable to St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 and is hereby incorporated by reference to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(a).
3.2 Verification and Commitments As discussed in the notice of availability published in the Federal Register on April 4, 2003 for this TS improvement, plant-specific verifications were performed as follows:
FPL has established TS Bases for LCO 3.0.4 and SR 4.0.4 which state that use of the TS mode change limitation flexibility established by LCO 3.0.4 and SR 4.0.4 is not to be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to operable status before entering an associated mode or other specified condition in the TS Applicability.
The modification also includes changes to the bases for LCO 3.0.4 and SR 4.0.4 that provide details on how to implement the new requirements. The bases changes provide guidance for changing Modes or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. The bases changes describe in detail how: LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time; LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate; and LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a Note in the Specification, which is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g., Containment Air Temperature, Containment Pressure, MCPR, Moderator Temperature Coefficient), though it may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.. The bases also state that any risk impact should be managed through the program in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and its implementation guidance, NRC Regulatory Guide 1.182. "Assessing and Managing Risks Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants," and that the results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. In addition, the bases state that upon entry into a Mode or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met, LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry in to the applicable ACTIONS until the condition is resolved, until the LCO is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the TS.
The
St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 L-2013-233 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Page 5 of 5 bases also state that SR 4.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency, provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 4.0.3. Finally, FPL has a bases control program consistent with Section 5.5 of the STS, and the equivalent of STS SR 3.0.1 and associated bases.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION FPL has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the model safety evaluation dated April 4, 2003 as part of the CLIIP. FPL has concluded that the staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to St. Lucie Unit 1 and St. Lucie Unit 2 and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

BASES (continued) 3.0.4 This specification establishes limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result in. a shutdown to comply with the ACTION. requirements if a Change in MODES were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE. status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an accept-able level of safety for continued operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a MODE change. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified. condition may be made in accordance with the provisions.of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.
When a shutdown is required to comply with the ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation.
Exceptions to this* provision have been provided.for a limited number of specifications when* startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant safety. These exceptions are stated-in the ACTION statements of the appropriate specifications.
The specifications of this section establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):
'Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the
.limiting conditions of operation will be met."

LCO 3:0'.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the LCO would not be met, in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.a, LCO 3.0,4.b, or LCO 3.0.4.c.
LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the required Actions.
LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate.
The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program, procedures, and criteria in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment for the purposes of LCO 3.0.4.b, must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope.
The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk, increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the
L-2013-233 Page 4 of 37 proposed MODE change is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS completion times that would require exiting the Applicability.
LCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single or multiple systems and components unavailable. NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.
The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the.
acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.
The Technical Specifications allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE 1 for the duration of the completion time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the LCO, the use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable, as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above. However, there is a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance is prohibited. The LCOs governing these systems and components contain notes prohibiting the use of LCO 3.0.4.b by stating LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable.
LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a note in the Specification which states LCO 3.0.4.c is applicable. These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific required Action of a Specification.
The risk assessments performed to justify the use of LCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, LCO 3.0.4.c is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g., Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity), and may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.
The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
The provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with
L-2013-233 Page 5 of 37 ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.
Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met, LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Technical Specification.
Surveillances do not have to be performed to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by SR 4.0.4 Therefore, utilizing LCO 3.0.4 is not a violation of SR 4.0.1 or SR 4.0.4 for any Surveillances that have not been performed on inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.

This provision, applies to changes in OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions associated' with plant shutdown as well as startup.
Under the provisions of-this specification, the applicable Surveillance Requirements must be performed within the specified. surveillance interval to.

SR 4.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable SRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit. The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.
However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result in SR 4.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable is inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 4.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment. When equipment is inoperable, SR 4.0.4 does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified frequency does not result in an SR 4.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the LCO is not met in this instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. SR 4.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified frequency, provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 4.0.3.
The provisions of SR 4.0.4 shall not prevent entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of SR 4.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

A note permits the use of the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS. This allowance is acceptable due to the significant conservatism incorporated into the specific activity limit, the low probability of an event that is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to power operations.

BASES (continued) 3/4Z5.2 and 3/4.5.3 ECCS SUBSYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of two separate and independent ECCS subsystems ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming the loss of one subsystem. through any single failure consideration. Either subsystem operating in conjunction with the safety injection tanks is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the-double ended break of-the largest RCS cold leg pipe downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long term core cooling capability in the-recirculation mode during the accident recovery period'.
TS 35.2.c and 3.5.3.a require that, ECCS subsystem(s) have an independent OPERABLE flow path capable of automatically transferring suction to the containment sump on a Recirculation. Actuation Signal.
The containment sump is defined as the. area of containment below the minimum flood level in the vicinity of the containment sump strainers.
Therefore, the LCOs are satisfied when an independent OPERABLE flow.
path to the containment sump strainer is available.
TS 3.5.2.d requires that an ECOS subsystem(s) have OPERABLE charging pump and associated flow path from the BAMT(s). Reference to TS 3.1.2.2 requires that the Train A charging pump flowpath is from the BAMT(s) through the boric. acid makeup pump(s). The Train B charging pump flowpath is from.the BAMT(s) through the gravity feed valve(s).
TS 3.5.2, ACTION a.1. provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 7 days from initial discovery of failure to meet the LCO provided the affected ECCS subsystem is inoperable only because its associated LPSI train is inoperable. This 7 day AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is, referred to as a "risk-informed" AOT extension. Entry into this ACTION requires that a risk assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) which is described in the Administrative Procedure (ADM-1 7.08) that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant to
. F Cae urve*iance Requirements provided to ensure OPERABILITY of each component ensure that at a minimum, the assumptions used in the accident analyses are met and that subsystem OPERABILITY is maintained.

TS 3.8.1.1,. ACTION "b" provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 14 days toto restore a single inoperable diesel generator to operable status. This AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is referred to as a "risk-informed" AOT.
Entry into this action requires that a risk assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP),.
which is described in the Administrative Procedure that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant to 10 CFR 50.65.
All EDG inoperabilities must be investigated for common-cause failures regardless of how long the EDG inoperability persists. When one diesel generator is inoperable, required ACTIONS 3.8.1A..b and 3.8.1.1.c provide.
an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of EDGs. If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable EDG does not exist on the remaining OPERABLE EDG, then SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 does not have to be performed.
Eight (8) hours is reasonable to confirm that the OPERABLE EDG is not affected by the same problem as the inoperable EDG. If it cannot otherwise be determined that the cause of the initial inoperable EDG does not exist on the remaining EDG, then satisfactory performance of SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of that EDG.
If the cause of the initial inoperability exists on the remaining OPERABLE-EDG,, that EDG would also be declared inoperable upon discovery, and ACTION 3.8.1.1.e would be entered. Once the failure is repaired (on either E
Dthe common-cause failure no longer exists.
m conditions are the normal standby conditions for the diesel engines. Any normally running. warmup systems should be in service and operating, and manufacturer's recommendations for engine oil and water temperatures and other parameters should be followed.
The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that 1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and 2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the facility status.

ST. LUCIE UNIT 2 F77; 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY (continued)
BASES (continued) 3.0.4 This specification establishes: limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher MODE of operation, when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not.met and continued, noncompliance to these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if.a change in MODES were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to. OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable
.level of safety for continued.operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a MODE change. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure, to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.
When a shutdown is required to. comply With the ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply because they would. delay placing the facility ih a lower MODE of operation.
Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of specifications when startup with inoperable equipment would rot affect plant safety. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropriate specifications.
The specifications of this section establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):
I "Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to, ensure that the. necessary quality of systems and components maintained, that facility operation, will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."

LCO 3.0.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the LCO would not be met, in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.a, LCO 3.0.4.b, or LCO 3.0.4.c.
LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the required Actions.
LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the. MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate.
The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plantprogram, procedures, and criteria in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment for the purposes of LCO 3.0.4.b, must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope.
The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk, increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the
L-2013-233 Page 22 of 37 proposed MODE change is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS completion times that would require exiting the Applicability.
LCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single or multiple systems and components unavailable. NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.
The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.
The Technical Specifications allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE 1 for the duration of the completion time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the LCO, the use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable, as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above. However, there is a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance is prohibited. The LCOs governing these systems and components contain notes prohibiting the use of LCO 3.0.4.b by stating LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable.
LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a note in the Specification which states LCO 3.0.4.c is applicable. These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific required Action of a Specification.
The risk assessments performed to justify the use of LCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, LCO 3.0.4.c is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g., Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity), and may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.
The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
The provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with
L-2013-233 Page 23 of 37 ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.
Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met, LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Technical Specification.
Surveillances do not have to be performed to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by SR 4.0.4 Therefore, utilizing LCO 3.0.4 is not a violation of SR 4.0.1 or SR 4.0.4 for any Surveillances that have not been performed on inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.

SR 4.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable SRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit. The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.
However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result in SR 4.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable is inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 4.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment. When equipment is inoperable, SR 4.0.4 does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified frequency does not result in an SR 4.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the LCO is not met in this instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. SR 4.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified frequency, provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 4.0.3.
The provisions of SR 4.0.4 shall not prevent entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of SR 4.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

Dose limits to control. room operators are given in 10 CFR 50.67 and in GDC 19 The RCS specific activity LCO limits the allowable concentration of radionuclides in the reactor coolant to ensure that the dose consequences of limiting. accidents do not exceed appropriate regulatory offsite and Control room dose acceptance criteria. The LCO contains specific activity limits for both DOSE EQUIVALENT (DE) 1-131 and DOSE EQUIVALENT (DE) XE-1.33.
The radiological dose assessments assume the specific activity of the reactor coolant is at the LCO limits, and an existing reactor coolant steam generator tube leakage rate at the applicable Technical Specification limit. The radiological dose assessments, assume the specific activity of the secondary coolant is at its limit as specified in LCO 3.7.1.4, "Plant Systems - Activity."
The ACTIONS allow operation when DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-1.31 is greater than 1.0 pCi/gram and less than 60 pCi/gram. The ACTIONS require,ns1 within four hours and every four hours fdllowing to establish a trend.

A note permits the use of the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS. This allowance is acceptable due to the significant conservatism incorporated into the specific activity limit, the low probability of an event that is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to power operations.

BASES (continued) 3/4.5.2 and 3/4.5.3 ECCS SUBSYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of two separate and independent ECCS subsystems ensures that sufficient emergency core: cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming the loss. of one subsystem through any single failure consideration. Either subsystem operating in conjunction with the safety injection tanks is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the. peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the double-ended break of the largest RCS hot leg pipe downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long-term core cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period.
TS 3.5.2.c and 3.5.3 require that ECCS subsystem(s) have an independent OPERABLE flow path capable of'automatically transferring suction to the containment on a Recirculation Actuation Signal. The containment sump is defined as the area of Containment below the minimum flood level in the vicinity of the Containment sump strainers. Therefore, the LCOs are satisfied when an independent OPERABLE flow path to the containment sump strainer is available.
TS 3.5.2.d requires that an ECCS subsystem(s) have an OPERABLE charging pump and associated flow path from the BAMT(s). Reference to TS 3.1.2.2 requires that the one charging pump flow path is from the BAMT(s) through the boric acid makeup pump(s). The second charging pump flowpath is from the BAMT(s) through the gravity feed valves.
TS 3.5.2, ACTION a. 1. provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 7 days from initial discovery of failure to meet the LCO provided the affected ECCS subsystem is inoperable only because its associated LPSI train is inoperable. This 7 day AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is referred to as a "risk-informed" AOT extension. Entry into thisACTION requires that a.risk assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) which is described in the Administrative Procedure (ADM-17.08) that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant to 10 CFR 50.65.
In Mode 3 with RCS pressure < 1750 psia and in. Mode 4, one OPERABLE ECCS subsystem is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity Condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.

LCO 3.5.3 Action c prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to inoperable ECCS High Pressure Safety Injection subsystem. There is an increased risk associated with entering MODE 4 from MODE 5 with an inoperable ECCS High Pressure Safety Injection subsystem and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, should not be applied in this circumstance.

3/4.7.1.2.
AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM The Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System automatically supplies feedwater to the steam generators to remove decay heat from the Reactor Coolant. System upon the loss of normal feedwater supply. The AFW System consists of two motor driven AFW pumps and one steam turbine driven pump configured into three trains.
Each motor driven pump provides 100% of AFW flow capacity; the turbine*
driven pump provides 100%,of the required capacity to the steam, generators as assumed in the accident analysis. Each motor driven AFW pump is powered from an independent Class 1 E power supply and feeds one steam generator, although each pump has the capability to be-realigned from the control room to feed the other steam generator. One pump at full flow is sufficient to remove decay heat and cool the unit to Shutdown Cooling (SDC)
System entry conditions.

The steam turbine-driven AFW pup receives steam from either main steam header upstream of the main steam, isolation valve. Each of the steam feed lines will supply 100% of the requirements of the turbine driven AFW pump.
The turbine driven AFW pump supplies a common header capable of feeding both steam generators, with DC powered control valves actuated to the appropriate steam generator by the Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System (AFAS).
The. AFW System supplies feedwater to the steam generators during normal unit startup, shutdown, and hot standby conditions.
The: AFW System mitigates the consequences.of anyevent with a loss of normal feedwater. The limiting Design Basis Accidents and transients for the AFW System are as follows:
- 1.
Feedwater Line Break, and
,,of normal feedwater.
u equirement (SR) 4.7.1.2.d verifies 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 pump performance required by the ASME Code. Because it is. undesirable to introduce cold.AFW into the steam generators while they are operating, this testing is performed on recirculation flow. 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. Performance of-inservice testing, discussed in the ASME Code, at 3 month intervals satisfies this requirement. This SR is modified to defer performance Until suitable test conditions are established for the steam turbine-driven AFW pump within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after entering Mode 3 and prior to entering Mode 2.

The four hour completion time upon discovery that an opposite train required feature is inoperable is to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a EDG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features.
The four-hour completion time allows the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." The four hour completion time 0nly begins on discovery that both an inoperable EDG: exists and a required feature on the other train is inoperable.
TS:3.8.1.1, ACTION "b" provides an allowed outage/action. completion time (AOT) of up to 1.4 days to restore a single inoperable diesel generator to operable status. This AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is referred to as a "risk-informed" AOT.
Entry into this action requires that a risk assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration. Risk Management Program (CRMP),
which is described in the Administrative Procedure that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant.to 1.0 CFR 50.65.
All EDG inoperabilities must be investigated for common-cause failures regardless of how long the EDG inoperability persists. When one diesel generator is inoperable, required ACTIONS 3.8.1.lb and 3.8.1.1.c provide
'an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of EDGs. If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable EDG does not exist on the remaining OPERABLE EDG, then SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 does not have to be performed. Eight (8) hours is reasonable to confirm that the OPERABLE EDG is not affected by the same problem as the inoperable.EDG. If it cannot otherwise be determined that the cause of the initial inoperable EDG does not exist on the remaining EDG, then satisfactory performance of SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of that EDG. If the cause of the initial inoperability exists on the remaining OPERABLE EDG, that EDG would also be declared inoperable upon discovery, and ACTION 3.8.1.1.e would be entered. Once the failure is repaired (on either EDG), the common-cause failure no longer exists.
