3A4.0 APPLiCABiLiTI BASES "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 lIimits. and thnt the limiting conditions of operation will be met."

Soecification 4.0.1 establishes the requirement that surveillances 'ust be performe during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for w,;hich the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.

The purpose of this specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in a MODE or other specified condition for which the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable.

Surveillance requirements do not have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL MODE for which the requirements of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation do not apply unless otherwise specified.

The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a specification.

Specification 4.0.2 This specification establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for surveillance requirements may be extended.

It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance: e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities.

It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are specified typically with an 18-month surveillance interval.

It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outage.

The limitation of 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgment and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the surveillance requirements.

This provision is sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval.

Specification 4.0.3 establishes the failure to perform a

Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.

Under the provisions of this specification, systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval.

However, nothing in this provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements.

Performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION on eacn required PORV actuation channel is required once per 24 months to adjust the :hanne! so that it responds and the valve opens within the required range and accuracy to a known input.

The PORV block valve must be verified open and COPPS must be verified armed every 72 hours8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months to provide a flow path and a cold overpressure protection actuation circuit for each required PORV to perform its function when required.

The valve is remotely verified open in the main control room.

This Surveillance is performed if credit is being taken for the PORV to satisfy the LCO.

The block valve is a remotely controlled, motor operated valve.

The power to the valve operator is not required to be removed, and the manual operator is not required to be locked in the open position.

Thus, the block valve can be closed in the event the PORV develops excessive leakage or does not close (sticks open) after relieving an overpressure transient.

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months Frequency is considered adequate in view of other administrative controls available to the operator in the control room, such as valve position indication, that verify the PORV block valve remains open.

4.4.9.3.2 Each required RHR suction relief valve shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by verifying the RHR suction valves, 3RHS*MV87O1A and 3RHS*M8701C, are open when suction relief valve 3RHS*RV8708A is being used to meet the LCO and by verifying the RHR suction valves, 3RHS*MV8702B and 3RHS*MV8702C, are open when sucti n relief valve 3RHS*RV8708B is being used to meet the LCO.

Each required RHR suction relief valve shall also be demonstrated OPERABLE by testing it in accordance with 4.0.5. This Surveillance is only required to be performed if the RHR suction relief valve is being used to meet this LCO.

The Frequency is considered adequate in view of other administrative controls such as valve status indications available to the operator in the control room that verify the RHR suction valves remain open.

The ASME Code,Section XI (Ref.

BASES (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1. 2, 3. and 4, a design basis accident (DBA) could lead to a fission product release to containment tha: leaks to the secondary containment boundary.

The large brea'z LOCA.

on which this system's design,s based. is a full-power event.

Less severe LOCAs and Ieakage ;tili require the system to be OPERABLE throughout these MODES.

The probabilit',ý and severity' of a LOCA decrease as core power and reactor coolant system pressure Jecrease.

With the reactor shut down, the probability of release of radioactivity resulting from such an accident is low.

In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequence of a DBA are low due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES.

Under these conditions, the SLCRS is not required to be OPERABLE.

ACT-IONS If it is discovered that the TSP in the containment building sump is not within limits, action must be taken to restore the TSP to within limits.

During plant operation, the containment sump is not accessible and corrections may not be possible.

The 7-day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

The Completion Time is adequate to restore the volume of TSP to within the technical specification limits.

If the TSP cannot be restored within limits within the 7-day Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

The specified Completion Times for reaching MODES 3 and 4 are those used throughout the technical specificatinns; they were chosen to allow reaching the specified conditions from full power in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Surveillance Requirement 4.5.5 Periodic determination of the volume of TSP in containment must be performed due to the possibility of leaking valves and components in the containment building that could cause dissolution of the TSP during normal operation.

A Frequency of once per 24 months is required to determine visually that a minimum of 974 cubic feet is contained in the TSP Storage Baskets.

This requirement ensures that there is an adequate volume of TSP to adjust the pH of the post LOCA sump solution to a value Ž 7.0.

The periodic verification is required every refueling outage, since access to the TSP baskets is only feasible during outages.

Operating experience has shown this Surveillance Frequency acceptable due to the margin in the volume of TSP placed in the containment building.

The surveillances include testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal (general use and following specific operations).

The heater kW measured must be corrected to its nameplate rating.

Variations in system voltage can lead to measurements of kW which cannot be compared to the nameplate rating because the output kW is proportional to the square of the voltage.

The 720 hours0.00833 days 0.2 hours 0.00119 weeks 2.7396e-4 months of operation requirement originates from Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, Table 2, Note "c", which states that "Testing should be performed (1) initially, (2) at least once per 18 months thereafter for systems maintained in a standby status or after 720 hours0.00833 days 0.2 hours 0.00119 weeks 2.7396e-4 months of system operations, and (3) following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with *he system."

This testing ensures that the charcoal adsorbency capacity has not degraded below acceptable limits, as well as providing trend data.

The 720 hour0.00833 days 0.2 hours 0.00119 weeks 2.7396e-4 months figure is an arbitrary number which is equivalent to a 30 day period.

This criteria is directed to filter systems that are normally in operation and also provide emergency air cleaning functions in the event of a Design Basis Accident.

The applicable filter units are not normally in operation and the sample canisters are typically removed due to the 18 month criteria.

d The automatic startup ensures that each SLCRS train responds properly.

The once per 24 months frequency is based on the need to perform this surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the surveillance was performed with the reactor at power.

The surveillance verifies that the SLCRS starts on a SIS test signal.

It also includes the automatic functions to isolate the other ventilation systems that are not part of the safety-related postaccident operating configuration and to start up and to align the ventilation systems MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 B 3/4 6-6 Amendment No. 07, W*,

The laboratory analysis is required to be performed within 31 days after removal of the sample.

ANSI N510-1980 is used in lieu of ANSI N510-1975 referenced in Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.52.

The maximum surveillance interval is 900 hours0.0104 days 0.25 hours 0.00149 weeks 3.4245e-4 months , per Surveillance Requirement 4.0.2.

The 720 hours0.00833 days 0.2 hours 0.00119 weeks 2.7396e-4 months of operation requirement originates from Nuclear Regulatory Guide 1.52, Table 2, Note C. This testing ensures that the charcoal adsorbency capacity has not degraded below acceptable limits as well as providing trending data.

4.7.7.e.l1 This surveillance verifies that the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers banks at less than 6.75 inches water gauge when the system is operated at a flow rate of 1,120 cfm +/- 20%.

The frequency is at least once per 24 months.

4.7.7.e.2 This surveillance verifies that the system maintains the control room at a positive pressure of greater than or equal to 1/8 inch water gauge at less than or equal to a pressurization flow of 230 cfm relative to adjacent areas and outside atmosphere during positive pressure system operation.

The frequency is at least once per 24 months.

The intent of this surveillance is to verify the ability of the control room emergency air filtration system to maintain a positive pressure while running in the filtered pressurization mode.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.7 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM (Continued)

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

During the first hour, the control room pressurization system creates and maintains the positive pressure in the control room.

This capability is verified by Surveillance Requirement 4.7.8.C, independent of Surveillance Requirement 4.7.7.e.2.

A CBI signal will automatically align an operating filtration system into the recirculation mode of operation due to the isolation of the air supply line to the filter.

After the first hour of an event with the potential for a radiological release, the control room emergency ventilation system will be aligned in either the recirculation mode (isolated from the outside environment) or filtered pressurization mode (outside air is diverted through the filters to the control room envelope to maintain a positive pressure).

The mode of service for the control room emergency air filtration system will be based on the radiological conditions that exist outside the control room.

Alignment to the filtered pressurization mode requires manual operator action to open the air supply line.

4.7.7.e.3 This surveillance verifies that the heaters can dissipate 9.4 +/- I kW at 480V when tested in accordance with ANSI N510-1980.

The frequency is at least once per 24 months.

The heater kW measured must be corrected to its nameplate rating.

Variations in system voltage can lead to measurements of kW which cannot be compared to the nameplate rating because the output kW is proportional to the square of the voltage.

4.7.7.f Following the complete or partial replacement of a HEPA filter bank, the operability of the cleanup system should be confirmed.

This is accomplished by verifying that the cleanup system satisfies the in-place penetration and bypass leakage testing acceptance criterion of less than 0.05% in accordance with ANSI N510-1980 for a DOP test aerosol while operating the system at a flow rate of 1,120 cfm +/- 20%.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.8 CONTROL ROOM ENVELOPE PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM (Continued)

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 4.7.8.c The performance of the control room envelope pressurization system should be checked periodically.

The frequency is at least once per 24 months and following any major alteration of the control room envelope pressure boundary.

A major alteration is a change to the control room envelope pressure boundary that:

(1) results in a breach greater than analyzed for acceptable pressurization and requires nonroutine work evolutions to restore the boundary.

A nonroutine work evolution is one which makes it difficult to determine As-Found and As-Left conditions.

Examples of routine work evolution include:

(1) opening and closing a door, and (2) repairing cable and pipe penetrations because the repairs are conducted in accordance with procedures and are verified via inspections.

For these two examples, there is a high level of assurance that the boundary is restored to the As-Found condition.

This surveillance requires at least once per 24 months or following a major alteration of the control room envelope pressure boundary by:

Verifying the control room envelope is isolated in response to a Control Building Isolation Test signal, Verifying, after a 60 second time delay following a Control Building Isolation Test signal, the control room envelope pressurizes to greater than or equal to 0.125 inch water gauge relative to adjacent areas and outside atmosphere; and Verifying the positive pressure of Technical Specification 4.7.8.c.2 is maintained for greater than or equal to 60 minutes.

Changes in conditions outside the control room envelope cause pressure spikes which are reflected on the differential pressure indicator, 3HVC-PDI 113.

Pressure spikes or fluctuations which result in the differential pressure momentarily dropped below the 0.125 inch water gauge acceptance criteria are acceptable providing the following conditions are met:

1.

Differential pressure remains positive at all times.

2.

Differential pressure is only transitorily below the acceptance criteria.

3.

Differential pressure returns to a value above the acceptance criteria.
