ENCLOSURE Oyster Creek Technical Specification Revised Page for Technical Specification Change Request No. 283 (Page 3.17-1)

3.17 Control Room Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning System Applicability: Applies to the operability of the control room heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Objective: To assure the capability of the control room HVAC system to minimize the amount of radioactivity from entering the control room in the event of an accident.

Specifications:

A. The control room HVAC system shall be operable during all modes of plant operation.

B. With one control room HVAC system determined inoperable:

1. Verify once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> the partial recirculation mode of operation for the operable system, or place the operable system in the partial recirculation mode; and

2. Restore the inoperable system within 7 days, or prepare and submit a special report to the Commission in lieu of any other report required by Section 6.9, within the next 14 days, outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans/schedule for restoring the HVAC system to operable status.

C. With both control room HVAC systems determined inoperable.

1. During Power Operation: place the reactor in the cold shutdown condition with 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />

2. During Refueling:

(a) Cease irradiated fuel handling operations; and (b) Cease all work on the reactor or its connected systems in the reactor building which could result in inadvertent releases of radioactive materials.

Basis:

The operability of the control room HVAC system ensures that the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel during a postulated design basis accident. The control room envelope includes the control room panel area, the shift supervisor's office, toilet room, kitchen, and lower cable spreading room. Since Systems A and B do not have HEPA filters or charcoal absorbers, the supply fan and dampers for each system minimize the beta and gamma doses to the operators by providing positive pressurization and limiting the makeup and infiltration air into the control room envelope. For the supply of 100% outside air to the control room envelope, the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room is limited to less than a 30-day integrated gamma dose of 5 rem, and a 30-day integrated beta dose of 30 rem.
