1. Closed by isolation valve, blind flange, or manual valve except for valves that are open on an intermittent basis under administrative control, or

2. Be capable of being closed by an OPERABLE automatic containment isolation valve, or

3. Be capable of being closed by an OPERABLE containment vacuum relief valve.

Note: Penetration flow path(s) providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere may be unisolated under administrative controls.

APPLICABILITY: During movement of recently irradiated fuel within the containment.

ACTION:

With the requirements of the above specification not satisfied, immediately suspend all operations involving movement of recently irradiated fuel in the containment. The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.

REFUELING OPERATIONS CONTAINMENT ISOLATION SYSTEM LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.9.9 The containment isolation system shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY: During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies within containment.

ACTION:

With the containment isolation system inoperable, close each of the penetrations providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere.

REFUELING OPERATIONS FUEL POOL VENTILATION SYSTEM - FUEL STORAGE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.9.12 At least one fuel pool ventilation system shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY: Whenever recently irradiated fuel is in the spent fuel pool.

ACTION:

a. With no fuel pool ventilation system OPERABLE, suspend all operations involving movement of recently irradiated fuel within the spent fuel pool or crane operation with loads over the recently irradiated spent fuel until at least one fuel pool ventilation system is restored to OPERABLE status.

b. The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.9.12 The above required fuel pool ventilation system shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:

a. At least once per 31 days by initiating flow through the HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber train and verifying that the train operates for at least 15 minutes.

b. At least once per 18 months or (1) after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or (2) following painting, fire or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system by:

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 314 9-12 Amendment No. 184

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 314.6.6 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SHIELD BUILDING VENTILATION SYSTEM (SBVS)

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.6.6.1 Two independent Shield Building Ventilation Systems shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY: At all times in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

In addition, during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies or during crane operations with loads over recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool in MODES 5 and 6.

ACTION:

a. With the SBVS inoperable solely due to loss of the SBVS capability to provide design basis filtered air evacuation from the Spent Fuel Pool area, only ACTION-c is required. If the SBVS is inoperable for any other reason, concurrently implement ACTION-b and ACTION-c.

b. (1) With one SBVS inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, restore the inoperable system to OPERABLE status within 7 days; otherwise, be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

(2) With both SBVS inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, immediately enter LCO 3.0.3.

c. (1) With one SBVS inoperable in any MODE, restore the inoperable system to OPERABLE status within 7 days; otherwise, suspend movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies within the Spent Fuel Storage Pool and crane operations with loads over recently irradiated fuel in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool.

(2) With both SBVS inoperable in any MODE, immediately suspend movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies within the Spent Fuel Storage Pool and crane operations with loads over recently irradiated fuel in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool.
