L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure License Amendment Request Adopt TSTF-439, Revision 2, Eliminate Second Completion Times Limiting Time from Discovery of Failure to Meet an LCO 1.0
SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (hereafter NSPM), hereby submits an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The proposed change eliminates second Completion Times limiting time from discovery of failure to meet a limiting condition for operation (LCO). These changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-439, Revision 2, Eliminate Second Completion Times Limiting Time From Discovery of Failure To Meet an LCO (Reference 1).
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Description of the Proposed Change The guidance of NUREG 1431, Revision 1, Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants (Reference 2), was used to convert the PINGP custom TSs (CTS) to the improved TSs (ITS), which was issued as amendments 158 and 149 for PINGP Unit 1 and Unit 2 respectively (Reference 3). The ITS conversion introduced into the PINGP TS a second Completion Time for certain Required Actions that establish a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions that result in a single continuous failure to meet the LCO. These Completion Times, henceforth referred to as second Completion Times, are joined by an AND logical connector to the Condition-specific Completion Time and state X days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO, where X varies by specification. The intent of the second Completion Time was to preclude entry into and out of the ACTIONS for an indefinite period of time without meeting the LCO by providing a limit on the amount of time that the LCO could not be met for various combinations of Conditions.
TSTF-439 deletes the second Completion Times from the impacted Required Actions. It also revises Example 1.3-3 to remove the second Completion Times and to revise the discussion in that Example to state that alternating between Conditions in such a manner that operation could continue indefinitely without ever restoring systems to meet the LCO is inconsistent with the basis of the Completion Times and is inappropriate. Specifically, the proposed change deletes the second Completion Times associated with the following PINGP TSs Required Actions:
- TS 3.6.5, Containment Spray and Cooling Systems, Required Actions A.1, C.1, and D.2
- TS 3.7.5, Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System, Required Actions A.1 and B.1
- TS 3.7.8, Cooling Water (CL) System, Required Actions A.1, B.3, and D.1 Page 2 of 9
L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure
- TS 3.8.1, AC Sources-Operating, Required Actions A.2 and B.4
- TS 3.8.9, Distribution Systems-Operating, Required Actions A.1, B.1, and C.1 The TS Bases associated with these Required Actions are also being revised to delete the corresponding discussion of the second Completion Times. See the markup of the TS and TS Bases included as Attachments 1 and 3 of this Enclosure respectively.
2.2 Variations and Other Administrative Changes NSPM is proposing the following variation from the TS changes described in TSTF-439. This variation does not affect the applicability of TSTF-439 or the NRC staff's model safety evaluation to the proposed license amendment.
- As TS 3.7.8 in NUREG-1431 did not contain second Completion Times, it was not included in the scope of TSTF-439. However, PINGP TS 3.7.8 Conditions A and D are plant specific and not found in NUREG-1431. Consequently, as the current PINGP TS 3.7.8 contains second Completion Times, it falls within the scope of the proposed change and has been included as a variation.
In addition, minor administrative formatting changes are made as marked up in Attachment 1 to this Enclosure.
2.3 Facility Description NSPM owns and operates the PINGP, which is a two unit plant located on the right bank of the Mississippi River within the city limits of Red Wing, Minnesota. Each unit at PINGP employs a two-loop pressurized water reactor designed and supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The initial PINGP application for a Construction Permit and Operating License was submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) on April 5, 1967. The Final Safety Analysis Report was submitted for application of an Operating License on January 28, 1971.
Unit 1 began commercial operation on December 16, 1973, and Unit 2 began commercial operation on December 21, 1974.
The PINGP was designed and constructed to comply with NSPMs understanding of the intent of the AEC General Design Criteria (GDC) for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits, as published on July 11, 1967. PINGP was not licensed to NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
As discussed in TSTF-439, Revision 2, the adoption of a second Completion Time was based on an NRC concern that a plant could continue to operate indefinitely with an LCO governing safety significant systems never being met by alternately meeting the requirements of separate Conditions. In 1991, the NRC could not identify any regulatory requirement or program that could prevent this misuse of the TS. With the promulgation of the Maintenance Rule, Page 3 of 9
L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure implementation of the Reactor Oversight Process, and the inclusion of administrative controls as discussed herein, there would exist strong disincentive to continued operation with concurrent multiple inoperabilities rendering second Completion Times unnecessary.
Maintenance Rule 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1), Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants (Maintenance Rule), requires each licensee to monitor the performance or condition of systems, structures, and components (SSCs) against licensee-established goals to ensure that the SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. If the performance or condition of the SSC does not meet established goals, appropriate corrective action is required to be taken. The NRC resident inspectors monitor the licensee's Corrective Action Program and could take action if the licensee's maintenance program allowed the systems required by a single LCO to become concurrently inoperable multiple times. The performance and condition monitoring activities required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) and (a)(2) would identify if poor maintenance practices resulted in multiple entries into the Actions of the TS and unacceptable unavailability of these SSCs. The effectiveness of these performance monitoring activities and associated corrective actions is evaluated at least every refueling cycle, not to exceed 24 months per 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3).
Under the TS, the Completion Time for one system is not affected by other inoperable equipment. The second Completion Times were an attempt to influence the Completion Time for one system based on the condition of another system, if two systems were required by the same LCO. However, 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) is a much better mechanism to apply this influence as the Maintenance Rule considers all inoperable risk-significant equipment, not just one or two systems governed by the same LCO.
Under 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), the risk impact of all inoperable risk-significant equipment is assessed and managed when performing preventative or corrective maintenance. Risk assessments at PINGP are conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.160, Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants. Regulatory Guide 1.160 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants (Reference 4). 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,
- increase risk awareness by shift and management personnel,
- reduce the duration of the condition,
- minimize the magnitude of risk increases through the establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures,
- and determine that the proposed maintenance is acceptable.
The comprehensive program provides much greater assurance of safe plant operation than the second Completion Times in the TS.

L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure Reactor Oversight Process NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, describes the tracking and reporting of performance indicators to support the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) (Reference 5). The NRC noted endorsement of NEI 99-02 in RIS 2001-11, Voluntary Submission of Performance Indicator Data (Reference 6). NEI 99-02, Section 2.2, describes the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. NEI 99-02 specifically addresses the emergency AC power systems, the auxiliary feedwater system, and the cooling water support system.
Extended unavailability due to multiple entries into the ACTIONS would affect the NRCs evaluation of the licensee's performance under the ROP.
Administrative Controls In addition to these programs, a requirement is added to Section 1.3 of the TS to require administrative controls to limit the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions that result in a single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. These administrative controls should consider plant risk and shall limit the maximum contiguous time of failing to meet the LCO. This TS requirement, when considered with the regulatory processes discussed above, provides an equivalent level of plant safety without the unnecessary complication of the TS by second Completion Times on some Specifications.
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The following NRC requirements are applicable to the proposed change:
Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations 50.36(c)(2)
The regulations of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Technical Specifications, establish the requirements related to the content of the TS. Section 50.36(c)(2) states:
When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specifications until the condition can be met.
Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations 50.65 The regulations of 10 CFR 50.65, Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants, establish a performance-based rule to ensure that nuclear power plant structures, systems, and components (SSCs) will be maintained so that they will perform their intended function when required.
The proposed change continues to meet the requirements of these regulations.
Page 5 of 9
L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure 4.2 Precedent The proposed change is consistent with NRC-approved license amendments issued to Exelon Nuclear on November 22, 2016 (Reference 7), and NextEra Energy on October 5, 2015 (Reference 8).
These approved changes are similar to the changes proposed in this request. There are no differences between the plant and design licensing basis for PINGP and the units referenced above that would affect the applicability of the change.
4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (hereafter NSPM), hereby submits an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The proposed change eliminates second Completion Times limiting time from discovery of failure to meet a limiting condition for operation (LCO). These changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-439, Revision 2, Eliminate Second Completion Times Limiting Time From Discovering of Failure to Meet an LCO (Reference 1).
NSPM has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, Issuance of amendment, as discussed below:
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change eliminates second Completion Times from the Technical Specifications. Completion Times are not an initiator to any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the probability of an accident previously evaluated is not affected. The consequences of an accident during the revised Completion Time are no different than the consequences of the same accident during the existing Completion Times. As a result, the consequences of an accident previously evaluated are not affected by this change. The proposed change does not alter or prevent the ability of SSCs from performing their intended function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed acceptance limits. The proposed change does not affect the source term, containment isolation, or radiological release assumptions used in evaluating the radiological consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Further, the proposed change does not increase the types or amounts of radioactive effluent that may be released offsite nor significantly increase individual or cumulative occupational/public radiation exposures. The proposed change is consistent with the safety analysis assumptions and resultant consequences.
Page 6 of 9
L-PI-18-031 NSPM Enclosure Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change does not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change in the methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed change does not alter any assumptions made in the safety analysis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed change to delete the second Completion Time does not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or limiting conditions for operation are determined. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by this change.
The proposed change will not result in plant operation in a configuration outside of the design basis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, NSPM concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c); and, accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.
4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times DESCRIPTION The above Completion Time extension does not apply to a (continued) Completion Time with a modified time zero. This modified time zero may be expressed as a repetitive time (i.e., once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, where the Completion Time is referenced from a previous completion of the Required Action versus the time of Condition entry) or as a time modified by the phrase "from discovery . . ."
Example 1.3-3 illustrates one use of this type of Completion Time.
The 10 day Completion Time specified for Conditions A and B in Example 1.3-3 may not be extended. An example of a modified "time zero" with the Completion Time expressed as "once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />" is illustrated in Example 1.3-6, Condition A. In this example, the Completion Time may not be extended.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-3 (continued)
The Completion Times of Conditions A and B are modified by a logical connector with a separate 10 day Completion Time measured from the time it was discovered the LCO was not met. In this example, without the separate Completion Time, it would be possible to alternate between Conditions A, B, and C in such a manner that operation could continue indefinitely without ever restoring systems to meet the LCO. The separate Completion Time modified by the phrase "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO" is designed to prevent indefinite continued operation while not meeting the LCO. This Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the Completion Time "clock".
In this instance, the Completion Time "time zero" is specified as commencing at the time the LCO was initially not met, instead of at the time the associated Condition was entered. ,WLVSRVVLEOHWR

This modified time zero may be expressed as a repetitive time (i.e., once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, where the Completion Time is referenced from a previous completion of the Required Action versus the time of Condition entry) or as a time modified by the phrase "from discovery . . ." An example of a modified "time zero" with the Completion Time expressed as "once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />" is illustrated in Example 1.3-6, Condition A. In this example, the Completion Time may not be extended.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-3 (continued)
Completion Times for Condition A and Condition B are tracked separately for each train starting from the time each train was declared inoperable and the Condition was entered. A separate Completion Time is established for Condition C and tracked from the time the second train was declared inoperable (i.e., the time the situation described in Condition C was discovered).
If Required Action C.2 is completed within the specified Completion Time, Conditions B and C are exited. If the Completion Time for Required Action A.1 has not expired, operation may continue in accordance with Condition A. The remaining Completion Time in Condition A is measured from the time the affected train was declared inoperable (i.e., initial entry into Condition A).
It is possible to alternate between Conditions A, B, and C in such a manner that operation could continue indefinitely without ever restoring systems to meet the LCO. However, doing so would be inconsistent with the basis of the Completion Times. Therefore, there shall be administrative controls to limit the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions that result in a single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. These administrative controls shall ensure that the Completion Times for those Conditions are not inappropriately extended.

A single Completion Time is used for any number of valves inoperable at the same time. The Completion Time associated with Condition A is based on the initial entry into Condition A and is not tracked on a per valve basis. Declaring subsequent valves inoperable, while Condition A is still in effect, does not trigger the tracking of separate Completion Times.
Once one of the valves has been restored to OPERABLE status, the Condition A Completion Time is not reset, but continues from the time the first valve was declared inoperable. The Completion Time may be extended if the valve restored to OPERABLE status was the first inoperable valve. The Condition A Completion Time may be extended for up to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> provided this does not result in any subsequent valve being inoperable for > 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-5 (continued)
The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each inoperable valve, and Completion Times tracked on a per valve basis. When a valve is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent valves are declared inoperable, Condition A is entered for each valve and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each valve.
If the Completion Time associated with a valve in Condition A expires, Condition B is entered for that valve. If the Completion Times associated with subsequent valves in Condition A expire, Condition B is entered separately for each valve and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each valve. If a valve that caused entry into Condition B is restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is exited for that valve.
Since the Note in this example allows multiple Condition entry and tracking of separate Completion Times, Completion Time extensions do not apply.

Containment Spray and Cooling Systems B 3.6.5 BASES LCO up to and including 70ºF. When the CL supply temperature is above (continued) 70ºF with one CL strainer isolated, the containment cooling train on the associated CL header is not OPERABLE. If Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.5 Condition D has been entered, then the above correlation between CL strainer status, CL supply temperature and containment cooling train OPERBILITY is not applicable. In this case the remaining two containment cooling fan coil units provide adequate heat removal within the TS 3.6.5 Condition D allowed Completion Time.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a LOCA or SLB could cause a release of radioactive material to containment and an increase in containment pressure and temperature requiring the operation of the containment spray trains and containment cooling trains.
In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Thus, the Containment Spray System and the Containment Cooling System are not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6.
ACTIONS A.1 With one containment spray train inoperable, the inoperable containment spray train must be restored to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the redundant heat removal capability afforded by the other Containment Spray train, reasonable time for repairs, and low probability of a LOCA or SLB occurring during this period.
The 10 day portion of the Completion Time for Required Action A.1 is based upon engineering judgment. It takes into account the low probability of coincident entry into two Conditions in this Specification coupled with the low probability of an accident Prairie Island Units 1 and 2 B 3.6.5-7 =I Unit 1 - Revision 184 TBD Unit 2 - Revision 184

B.1 and B.2 If the inoperable containment spray train cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Time of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach MODE 3 from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems. The extended interval to reach MODE 5 allows additional time for attempting restoration of the containment spray train and is reasonable when considering the driving force for a release of radioactive material from the Reactor Coolant System is reduced in MODE 3.
C.1 With one or both of the containment cooling fan coil units (FCU) in one train inoperable, the inoperable FCU(s) must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this degraded condition the remaining OPERABLE containment spray and cooling trains provide iodine removal capabilities and are capable of providing at least 100% of the heat removal needs. The 7 day Completion Time was developed taking into account the heat removal capabilities afforded by combinations of the Containment Spray System and Containment Cooling System and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

Containment Spray and Cooling Systems B 3.6.5 BASES ACTIONS C.1 (continued)
The 10 day portion of the Completion Time for Required Action C.1 is based upon engineering judgment. It takes into account the low probability of coincident entry into two Conditions in this Specification coupled with the low probability of an accident occurring during this time. Refer to Section 1.3 for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO" portion of the Completion Time.
D.1 and D.2 Condition D applies when one FCU in each train is inoperable. With two FCUs inoperable, the Required Actions are to isolate cooling water flow to both inoperable FCUs immediately. This will assure the containment cooling function continues to be provided.
The LCO requires the OPERABILITY of a number of components within the subsystems. Due to the redundancy of components within the containment cooling system, the inoperability of two FCU does not render the containment cooling system incapable of performing its function. Engineering analyses demonstrate that two OPERABLE FCUs, one in each train, are capable of providing the necessary cooling.
With a FCU inoperable in both containment cooling trains and a FCU OPERABLE in both containment cooling trains, the two remaining OPERABLE FCUs can provide the necessary cooling provided the cooling water flow to the inoperable FCUs is isolated.
When one FCU in each containment cooling train is inoperable, both inoperable FCUs must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this degraded condition the remaining OPERABLE containment spray and FCU from each cooling train provide iodine removal capabilities and are capable of providing at least 100% of the heat removal needs.

Refer to Section 1.3 for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO" portion of the Completion Time.
E.1 and E.2 If the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition C or D of this LCO are not met, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.5.1 REQUIREMENTS Verifying the correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the containment spray flow path provides assurance that the proper flow paths will exist for Containment Spray System operation. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. This SR does not require any testing or valve manipulation. Rather, it involves verification that those valves outside containment (there are no valves inside containment) and capable of potentially being mispositioned are in the correct position.

AFW System B 3.7.5 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued)
- b. For the inoperability of a turbine driven AFW pump while in MODE 3 immediately subsequent to a refueling outage, the 7 day Completion Time is reasonable due to the minimal decay heat levels in this situation; and
- c. For both the inoperability of a steam supply line to the turbine driven pump and an inoperable turbine driven AFW pump while in MODE 3 immediately following a refueling outage, the 7 day Completion Time is reasonable due to the availability of the redundant OPERABLE motor driven AFW pump, and due to the low probability of an event requiring the use of the turbine driven AFW pump.
The second Completion Time for Required Action A.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions to be inoperable during any continuous failure to meet this LCO.
The 10 day Completion Time provides a limitation time allowed in this specified Condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO.
This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. The AND connector between 7 days and 10 days dictates that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive must be met.
Condition A is modified by a Note which limits the applicability of the Condition when the unit has not entered MODE 2 following a refueling.

C.1 and C.2 When Required Action A.1 or B.1 cannot be completed within the required Completion Time, or if two AFW trains are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

CL System B 3.7.8 BASES ACTIONS A.1 If no safeguards CL pumps are OPERABLE for one train, action must be taken to restore one CL safeguards pump to OPERABLE status within 7 days.
Either the diesel driven CL pump for the train may be restored to OPERABLE status, or the 121 CL pump may be aligned to fulfill the safeguards function for the train that has no OPERABLE safeguards CL pump.
The 7 day Completion Time is based on:
- a. Low probability of loss of offsite power during the period;
- b. The low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period;
- c. The safeguards cooling capabilities afforded by the remaining OPERABLE train; and
- d. The capability to route water from the non-safeguards pumps, if needed.
The second Completion Time for Required Action A.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for combinations of Conditions A and B to be inoperable during any continuous failure to meet this LCO for these Conditions.
The 10 day Completion Time provides a limitation time allowed in this specified Condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO.
This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. The AND connector between 7 days and 10 days dictates that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive must be met.

Conditions may occur in the CL System piping, valves, or instrumentation downstream of the supply header (e.g., closed or failed valves, failed piping, or instrumentation in a return header) that can result in the supply header being considered inoperable. In such cases, Condition B and related Required Actions shall apply.
In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CL header is adequate to perform the heat removal function. However, the overall redundancy is reduced because only a single CL train remains OPERABLE.
Required Action B.1 ensures that the vertical motor driven 121 CL pump may be used to provide redundancy for the safeguards CL pump on the OPERABLE header. Required Action B.3 assures adequate system reliability is maintained.
The second Completion Time for Required Action B.3 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for combinations of Conditions A and B to be inoperable during any continuous failure to meet this LCO for these Conditions.
The 10 day Completion Time provides a limitation time allowed in this specified Condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO.
This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. The AND connector between 7 days and 10 days dictates that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive must be met.
Required Actions B.1, B.2, and B.3 are modified by two Notes.
The first Note indicates that the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.8.1, AC Sources-Operating, should be entered for Unit 1 since an inoperable CL train results in an inoperable emergency diesel generator.

This period is acceptable based on the remaining 6 day fuel oil supply, the fact that procedures will be initiated to obtain replenishment, availability of the vertical motor driven CL pump and the low probability of an event during this brief period.
The second Completion Time for Required Action D.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for combinations of Conditions A and D to be inoperable during any continuous failure to meet this LCO for these Conditions.
The 9 day Completion Time provides a limitation time allowed in this specified Condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO.
This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and D are entered concurrently. The AND connector between 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> and 9 days dictates that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive must be met.

ACTIONS A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable DG. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable DG and the provision 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.
A.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with one path inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining required path on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies perform, a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met.
However, if the second path fails SR 3.8.1.1, there are no OPERABLE paths, and Condition C, for two paths inoperable, is entered.
A.2 Operation may continue in Condition A for a period that should not exceed 7 days. With one path inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and the potential for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for a challenge to the unit safety systems. In this Condition, however, the remaining OPERABLE path and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Safeguards Distribution System.
The 7 day Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.
The second Completion Time for Required Action A.2 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO.

AC Sources-Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS A.2 (continued) while, for instance, a DG is inoperable and that DG is subsequently returned OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 14 days. This could lead to a total of 21 days, since initial failure to meet the LCO, to restore the offsite circuit. At this time, a DG could again become inoperable, the circuit restored OPERABLE, and an additional 14 days (for a total of 35 days) allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO. The 21 day Completion Time provides a limit on the time allowed in a specified condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO. This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. The "AND" connector between the 7 day and 21 day Completion Times means that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive Completion Time must be met.
The Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." This will result in establishing the "time zero" at the time that the LCO was initially not met, instead of at the time Condition A was entered.
B.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with an inoperable DG, it is necessary to verify the availability of the paths on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies perform, a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action being not met. However, if a path fails to pass SR 3.8.1.1, it is inoperable and additional Conditions and Required Actions apply.

B.4 Operation may continue in Condition B for a period that should not exceed 14 days.
In Condition B, the remaining OPERABLE DG and paths are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Safeguards Distribution System. The 14 day Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.
The second Completion Time for Required Action B.4 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. If Condition B is entered while, for instance, an offsite circuit is inoperable and that circuit is subsequently restored OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 7 days. This could lead to a total of 21 days, since initial failure to meet the LCO, to restore the DG. At this time, an offsite circuit could again become inoperable, the DG restored OPERABLE, and an additional 7 days (for a total of 28 days) allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO.

AC Sources-Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS B.4 (continued) is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. The "AND" connector between the 14 day and 21 day Completion Times means that both Completion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive Completion Time must be met.
As in Required Action B.2, the Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed time "clock." This will result in establishing the "time zero" at the time that the LCO was initially not met, instead of at the time Condition B was entered.
C.1 and C.2 Required Action C.1, which applies when two paths are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. The Completion Time for this failure of redundant required features is 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The rationale for the 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is that a Completion Time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is allowed for two paths inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are OPERABLE. When a concurrent redundant required feature failure exists, this assumption is not the case, and a Completion Time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains.

- b. The potential for an event in conjunction with a single failure of a redundant component in the train with AC power.
The second Completion Time for Required Action A.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required distribution subsystems to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. If Condition A is entered while, for instance, a DC bus is inoperable and subsequently restored OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

At this time, a DC circuit could again become inoperable, and AC distribution restored OPERABLE. This could continue indefinitely.
The Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." This will result in establishing the "time zero" at the time the LCO was initially not met, instead of the time Condition A was entered. The 16 hour1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is an acceptable limitation on this potential to fail to meet the LCO indefinitely.
Required Action A.1 is modified by a Note that requires the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.8.4, DC Sources - Operating, to be entered for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable AC power distribution subsystems. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. Inoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power.
This Note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.

C.1 With one Reactor Protection Instrument AC panel inoperable, the remaining OPERABLE Reactor Protection Instrument AC panels are capable of supporting the minimum safety functions necessary to shut down the unit and maintain it in the safe shutdown condition.
Overall reliability is reduced, however, since an additional single failure could result in the minimum ESF functions not being supported.
