1.0 DESCRIPTION

This submittal requests an amendment to Technical Specification (TS) 4.0.5 of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-70 and DPR-75, Salem Units 1 and 2. TS 4.0.5, Surveillance Requirements for Inservice Inspections and Testing of ASME Code Components, would be revised to (1) update references to the source of requirements for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves and (2) to address the applicability of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.0.2 to some non-standard pump and valve testing frequencies. In addition, the revised inservice testing requirements would be relocated to Section 6.0 of TS, while the inservice inspection requirements would be removed from TS as they are redundant to the existing 10 CFR 50.55a ISI Program. The proposed changes are consistent with1 NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Travelers TSTF-479, Revision 0, "Changes to Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a," (Reference 1), TSTF 497, Revision 0, " Limit Inservice Testing Program SR 3.0.2 Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or Less,"

(Reference 2), and NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications (STS),

Westinghouse Plants, Revision 3.0".

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

The proposed changes to TS 4.0.5 would provide consistency with (i) TSTF 479, (ii)

TSTF 497, and (iii) NUREG-1431:

(i) TSTF-479 updates references for Inservice Testing of ASME Code

,Components, providing consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) for pumps and valves which are classified as American Society of

.Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. The specification is revised to indicate that the Inservice Testing Program shall include testing frequencies applicable to the ASME Codefor Operations and Maintenance (ASME OM Code), replacing the current reference to ASME Section Xl.

(ii) TSTF-497 revises TS 4.0.5 to indicate that there may be some frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the Inservice Testing (IST) Program to which the provisions of SR 4.0.2 are applicable.

(iii) NUREG-1431 relocates the InserviceTesting (IST) Program portion of TS 4.0.5 to Section 6.0 of the TS (Administrative Controls) and removes the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program from TS. The NUREG also removes the superfluous statement that the inservice requirements are in addition to other required surveillances and further clarifies that the provisions of SR 4.0.3 are applicable to the IST Program. Other TS that currently reference TS 4.0.5 are accordingly revised to reference the IST or ISI Programs as appropriate.

The changes are consistent with bothTSTF-479 and TSTF-497; however, since Salem does not have Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS), NUREG-1431, the impacted TS at.

Salem are not numbered the same as ISTS, and have minor wording differences. In the Salem TS the IST program is currently TS 4.0.5 (vs. 5.5.8 in ISTS), and the surveillance frequency extension allowance is TS 4.0.2 (vs. 3.0.2 in ISTS).

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1 The specific changes to 4.0.5, additions and deletions, are provided below (see for complete marked up TS pages):

TS 4.0.5.a will be deleted and reolaced with new TS 6.8.4.i:

Inservice Testing Program This Program provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. The program shall include the following:

In..servie in.eton of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components and i....vic.

testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 pumps and v1'alves shall be per*f*rme in accordance with Section Xv of the ASME Boilrand Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as brequied by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g), except wh spcfic writtcn relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Sec~tio~n 50.55a(g)(6)(i).

TS 4.0.5.b. which will be -relocated as TS 6.8.4.i.a is revised to state:

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1 TS 4.0.5.d, which will be relocated as TS 6.8.4.j.c is revised to state:

Performance of the above isrcinpconand tcsting activities shall be in addition to other specified Survefillance Rcquircmcnt. . The provisions of Specification 4.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities, and TS 4.0.5.e, which will be relocated as TS 6.8,4.i.d is revised to state:

Nothing in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel OM Code shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any Technical Specification.

Sections of the TS Bases are also revised (see Attachment 3) for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4). The changes to the affected TS Bases pages will be incorporated in accordance with TS 6.17 (Salem Unit 1) and TS 6.16 (Salem Unit 2), "Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Program."

3.0 BACKGROUND

The purpose of the IST Program isto assess the operational readiness of pumps and valves, to detect degradation that might affect component operability, and tomaintain safety margins with provisions for increased surveillance and corrective action. 10 CFR 50.55a defines the requirements for applying industry codes to each licensed nuclear powered facility. Section Xl of the ASME Code has been revised on a continuing basis over the years to provide updated requirements for the inservice inspection and inservice testing of components. Until 1990, the ASME Code requirements addressing the inservice testing of pumps and valves were contained in Section Xl, Subsections IWP (pumps) and IWV (valves). Subsequently, the ASME OM Code replaced Section Xl of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for inservice testing of pumps and valves.

As identified in NRC SECY-.99-017 (Reference 4), the NRC has generally considered evolution of the ASME Code to result in a net improvement'in the measures for inspecting piping and components and testing pumps and valves. By final rule issued on September 22, 1999 (Reference 5), the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4)(ii) to require licensees to update their IST Program to the latest approved edition of the ASME OM Code incorporated by Reference 5 into 10 CFR 50.55a(b).

TSTF-479, Revision 0, "Changes to Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a," revised the Inservice Testing Program to reflect-the latest NRC-approved version of the ASME Code. TSTF-479 also revised the surveillance extension paragraph of the Inservice Testing Program to state, "The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to.the above required Frequencies and other normal and accelerated Frequencies specified in the InserviceTesting Program-for performing inservice testing activities." The NRC approved TSTF-479 (Reference 7) as an administrative change to the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) NUREGs. TSTF-479 was incorporated into Revision 3.0 of the ISTS NUREGs.

Subsequently, members of the Component Branch of the NRC stated that TSTF-479 did not provide an adequate justification for applying SR 3.0.2 to Frequencies 3

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1 specified in the Inservice Testing Program as greater than 2 years and the NRC would not approve plant-specific amendments based on TSTF-479 incorporating this change without further justification. The NRC stated that they would accept applying SR 3.0.2 to IST Frequencies not listed in the Inservice Testing Program table provided that those Frequencies are specified in the Inservice Testing Program as 2 years or less. Consequently, TSTF 497, Revision 0, " Limit Inservice Testing Program SR 3.0.2 Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or Less," was developed to address the "2 years or less" provision, and was subsequently approved by the NRC (Reference 8).

The ISTS were developed based on the criteria in the Final Commission Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors, dated July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39132), which was subsequently codified by changes to

'Section 36 of Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.36)

(60 FR 36953). Licensees are encouraged to upgrade their technical specifications consistent with those criteria and conforming, to the practical extent, to Revision 3-to the improved STS. Licensees adopting portions of the improved STS to existing technical specifications should adopt all related requirements, as applicable, to achieve a high degree of standardization and consistency.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

TS 4.0.5 currently references the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl, as the source of the IST Program requirements for ASME Code 1, 2, and 3 components. The ASME OM Code replaced Section XI of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for inservice testing of pumps and valves. The ASME OM Code applies to the current 10-year IST Interval at Salem. The proposed changes to TS 4.0.5 will provide consistency with the IST requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.

Additionally, TS 4.0.5 is revised to indicate that the provisions of SR 4.0.2 are applicable to other IST Frequencies that are not specifically listed -in the testing frequencies identified inTS 4.0.5. The IST Program may have frequencies (normal and accelerated) for testing that are based on risk or other factors and do not conform to the standard testing Frequencies specified in TS 4.0.5. The Frequency of the Surveillance may be determined through a mix of risk informed and performance based means in accordance with the IST Program. Application of SR 4.0.2 to other IST Frequencies specified as 2 years or less is consistent with the guidance in NUREG-1482, paragraph 3.1.3 (Reference 6). Consequently, the 25 percent tolerance specified in SR 4.0.2 is applicable to any IST Frequency specified as 2 years or less.

Relocation of the IST Program portion of TS.4.0.5 to Section 6.0 of TS is consistent with ISTS, NUREG-1431. NUREG-1431 established that the IST Program is appropriately located in Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls" (Section 6.0 for Salem). The NUREG also removed-the superfluous statement that the inservice requirements are in addition to .other required surveillances and further clarifies that 4

LR-N09-0218A Attachment 1 the provisions of SR-4.0.3 are applicable to the IST Program (consistent with NUREG-1431, Section 5.5.8.c).

Similarly, NUREG-1431 established that the ISI Program was not required to be maintained in'TS (i.e., it did not meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36). During each ISI 10-year interval, 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) requires PSEG to meet the ISI requirements for ASME Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 components set forth in Section Xl of editions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda that are incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b) 12 months before the start of the interval. The ISI requirements in current TS SR 4.0.5 are identical and redundant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a. The proposed change does not eliminate any inservice inspections; they are covered by the existing ISI Program required by 10 CFR 50.55a. For inspections determined to be impractical, PSEG will still be required to seek relief in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5).

5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS The proposed changes revise the requirements in TS 4.0.5, Surveillance Requirements for Inservice Inspections and Testing of ASME Code Components. TS 4.0.5, would be revised to (1) update references to the source of requirements for inservice testing ofl ASME Code Class 1, .2, and 3 pumps and valves and (2) to address the applicability of' Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.0.2 to some pump and valve testing frequencies. In addition, the revised inservice testing requirements would be relocated to Section 6.0 of TS, while the inservice inspection requirements would be removed. The proposed changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Travelers TSTF-479, Revision 0, "Changes to Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a,"

(Reference 1), TSTF 497, Revision 0, " Limit Inservice Testing Program SR 3.0.2 Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or Less," (Reference.2), and NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications (STS), Westinghouse Plants, Revision 3.0".

5.1 Significant Hazards Consideration PSEG has evaluated whether or not 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 changes revise TS 4.0.5, Surveillance Requirements for Inservice Inspections and Testing of ASME Code Components, for consistency with of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) requirements regarding inservice testing of pumps and valves. The proposed change incorporates revisions to the ASME OM Code and clarifies testing 5

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1 frequency, requirements for testing pumps and valves. The proposed change also relocates the ISI and IST Programs consistent with NUREG-1431.

The proposed changes do not impact any accident initiators or analyzed events or assumed mitigation of accident or transient events. They do not involve the addition or removal of any equipment, or any design changes to the facility.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not represent a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed changes do not involve a modification to the physical configuration of the plant (i.e., no new equipment will be installed) or change in the methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed change will not impose any new or different requirements or introduce a new accident initiator, accident precursor, or malfunction mechanism. Therefore, this proposed change does not create the, possibility of an accident of a different kind than previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed change involve a -significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed changes revises and relocatesTS 4.0.5, Surveillance Requirements for Inservice Inspections and Testing of ASME Code Components, for consistency with (1) the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) regarding the inservice testing of pumps and valves and (2) NUREG-1431. The proposed change updates references to the ASME OM Code, clarifies testing frequency requirementsfor testing pumps and valves, and relocates the IST Program to Section 6.0 ofTS, and the ISI Program to a licensee controlled document. The safety function of the affected pumps and valves will be maintained; the programs will continue to be implemented with the required regulations and codes.

Therefore, this proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, PSEG 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.

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1 5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria NRC regulation, 10 CFR 50.55a, defines the requirements for applying industry codes to each licensed nuclear powered facility. The regulations require that during successive 120-month intervals, programs be developed utilizing the latest edition and addenda incorporated into paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 50.55a 12 months before the start of the 120-month interval of the operating license subject to the limitations and modifications identified in paragraph (b).

Section 50.55a(f)(4) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),

requires, in part, that ASME Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME Code. Section 50.55a(f)(4)(ii) requires that IST programs be revised every 10 years (120-months)-to comply with the requirements of the latest edition and addenda of the ASME Code that is incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(3). Section 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) requires that, if a revised IST program for a facility conflicts with the TS for that facility, the licensee shall apply to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) for amendment of the TS to conform the TS to therevised program. The licensee is required to submit the -application, at least 6 months before the start of the period during which the provisions become applicable, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4).

There are no changes being proposed that would result in non-compliance with any of the regulatory requirements. The evaluations documented above confirm that PSEG will continue to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.

5.3 Precedent The NRC accepted TSTF-479 in December 2005 (Reference 7) and TSTF-497 in October 2006 (Reference 8). A similar TS change was approved for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant in Amendment 127 on June 12, 2008, for the Wolf Creek Generating Station in Amendment 172 on November 15, 2006, and for the Cooper Nuclear Station in Amendment No. 223 on September 6, 2006.2.

5.4 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 Commission's 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.

2 Even thoughTSTF-497 was not approved at this time, this amendment addressed the application of SR 4.0.2 to other IST Frequencies with the same wording that is now included in the approved TSTF-497

LR-N09-0218 Attachment 1

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

PSEG has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations.

The review has determined that the proposed amendment would change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, and 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 significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
