Proposed Technical Specification Changes For lnservice Testing and Bases Control Program Discussion of Change Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2 Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion)
DISCUSSION OF CHANGE Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) requests changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.
The proposed changes will: 1) delete TS 4.0.5, which includes the Inservice Inspection (ISI) and lnservice Testing (IST) requirements; 2) relocate the IST requirements to the administrative section of TS as a program and revise the associated TSs to reference the IST program instead of TS 4.0.5; 3) deletes the inservice inspection surveillance requirements and individual TS references to the IS1 program since these requirements are included in 10 CFR 50.55a; and, 4) add a TS Bases Control Program to the Administrative Controls section of the TS.
The changes associated with the IST program are required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55.a(f)(5)(ii) to eliminate an inconsistency between the TS and the approved ASME Code.
Furthermore, these IS1 and IST changes are consistent with NUREG-1 431, (Improved) Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Plants. The associated Bases are also being revised and are included for information.
The proposed changes have been reviewed, and it has been determined that no significant hazards consideration exists as defined in 10 CFR 50.92. In addition, it has been determined that the change qualifies for categorical exclusion from an environmental assessment as set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(~)(9); therefore, no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment is needed in connection with the approval of the proposed change.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION OF CHANGE lnservice Inspection and Testinq Proqrams TS 4.0.5 establishes the surveillance requirements for inservice inspection and testing of ASME Class 1, 2 and 3 components for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.
Regarding inservice testing (IST), TS 4.0.5.a currently states that:
lnservice Testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(f), except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(f)(6)(i).
The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) establish the effective Code edition and addenda to be used by licensees for performing inservice testing of pumps and valves.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50a55a(f)(4)(ii), Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) submitted the fourth interval IST programs for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2 to the Page 1 of 8
NRC in a letter June 25, 2003 (Serial No.03-354). The IST Programs for the fourth interval were updated to comply with the appropriate revisions of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants and included the 1998 Edition, the 1999 Addenda and the 2000 Addenda as the new Code of Record for performing IST at Surry Units land 2. As a consequence, the TS 4.0.5 reference to Section XI of the ASME Code results in a reference to a deleted portion of the Code.
According to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii), If a revised inservice test program for a facility conflicts with the technical specification for the facility, the licensee shall apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specification to the revised program. The licensee shall submit this application, as specified in 550.4, at least 6 months before the start of the period during which the provisions become applicable, as determined by paragraph (f)(4) of this section.
Since TS 4.0.5 and several Technical Specifications reference ASME Section XI for the IST requirements for pumps and valves, the Surry Units 1 and 2 TS require revision to change the IST code references from ASME Section XI to the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants.
For consistency with the Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), TS 4.0.5 will be relocated as an IST Program in the Administrative Section of TSs. In addition, those Technical Specifications that reference TS 4.0.5 will be changed to reference the new IST program.
Regarding inservice inspection (ISI), TS 4.0.5.a currently states that:
lnservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g), except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g)(6)( i).
When the ITS were developed the Inservice inspection requirements were removed since they were identical to the 10 CFR 50.55a requirements and were therefore, considered redundant. Thus, the IS1 requirements of TS 4.0.5 are being deleted, consistent with Improved Technical Specifications.
TS Bases Control Proqram The TS changes that are approved by the NRC Consolidated Line Item Improvement Program (CLIIP) often include the requirement for a TS Bases Control Program as a condition for implementing a particular Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) traveler (e.g., TSTF 358 associated with missed surveillances, TSTF-359 associated with mode changes). As it is anticipated that future CLllP opportunities will invoke a similar requirement for a TS Bases Control Program and for consistency with ITS and Page 2 of 8
existing station administrative procedures, it is desirable to include such a program in Surrys custom Technical Specifications.
SPECIFIC CHANGES The following changes are proposed to move the IST requirements to a program in the Administrative Section of TS consistent with Improved Technical Specifications:
0 TS 4.0.5 is being relocated to Section 6 as an Inservice Testing Program and revised to include the appropriate ASME Code reference. In addition, the Inservice Inspection requirements in TS 4.0.5 are being deleted consistent with Improved Technical Specifications.
Delete: TS 4.0.5 and the associated Bases Insert: replace with the following IST Program in Section 6.
6.4.1 lnservice Testinq Proqram This program provides controls for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. The program shall include the following:
- 1. Testing frequencies specified in the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants and applicable Addenda as follows:
ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants and applicable Addenda terminology for inservice testina activities Quarterly or every 3 months Yearly or annually Biennially or every 2 years Every 4 years Every 5 years Every 8 years Every 10 years Once per fuel cycle (18 months)
Every cold shutdown Every refueling outage Required Frequencies for performing inservice testinq activities At least once per 92 days At least once per 366 days At least once per 731 days At least once per 1461 days At least once per 1827 days At least once per 2922 days At least once per 3653 days At least once per 549 days Every cold shutdown Every refueling outage
- 2. The provisions of TS 4.0.2 are applicable to the above required Frequencies for performing inservice testing activities; Page 3 of 8
- 3. The provisions of TS 4.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities; and
- 4. Nothing in the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS.
The frequencies identified in the table above are those identified in the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants.
The following TS are revised to refer to the Inservice Testing Program in place of TS 4.0.5:
J TS 4.1.B.1 - Pressuirzer PORVs and Block Valves J TS Table 4.1 -2A Item 4 - Pressurizer Safety Valves J TS Table 4.1 -2A Item 5 - Main Steam Safety Valves J TS 4.5.A.1 - Containment Spray pumps J TS 4.5.A.2 - Containment Spray valves J TS 4.5.B.1 - Recirculation Spray pumps J TS 4.5.8.1 - Recirculation Spray valves J TS 4.8.A.2.a - AFW valves J TS 4.8.A.3.a - AFW pumps J TS 4.8.A.5.b - AFW cross connect valves J TS 4.1 1.C.1 - Safey Injection Subsystem low head pumps J TS 4.1 1.C.2 - Safey Injection Subsystem charging pumps J TS 4.1 1.C.3 - Safety Injection Subsystem valves The following TS are revised to eliminate reference to ASME Section XI. Section XI is no longer the appropriate ASME Code of reference for the Inservice Testing Program.
J TS 4.8.B - Acceptance Criteria The following TS are revised due to the removal of the IS1 program requirements from the TS:
J TS 4.2.A - Augmented Inspections J TS Table 4.2 o Item 2.1.1 both examination frequency and frequency Item 2.1.2 both examination requirements and frequency o Item 2.1.3 both examination requirements and frequency J TS 4.17 Specification - SnubbersSection XI continues to be referenced in TS 4.2 as it relates to the examination methods and frequency of the augmented inspections.
Page 4 of 8
0 Delete Section 4.3, ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 System Pressure Tests and the associated Bases. Consistent with the removal of the IS1 requirements from TS, the pressure testing requirements are being removed from Technical Specifications.
Establish a Bases Control Program 6.4.J Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Proqram This program provides a means for processing changes to the Bases of these Technical Specifications.
- 1. Changes to the Bases of the TS shall be made under appropriate administrative controls and reviews.
- 2. Licensees may make changes to Bases without prior NRC approval provided the changes do not require either of the following:
a) a change in the TS incorporated in the license; or b) a change to the UFSAR or Bases that requires NRC approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.
- 3. The Bases Control Program shall contain provisions to ensure that the Bases are maintained consistent with the UFSAR.
- 4. Proposed changes that meet the criteria of Specification 6.4.J.2 above shall be reviewed and approved by the NRC prior to implementation. Changes to the Bases implemented without prior NRC approval shall be provided to the NRC on a frequency consistent with 10 CFR 50.71 (e).
The title of Section 6.4 is being changed from Unit Operating Procedures to Unit Operating Procedures and Programs.
0 The following Bases Sections are being revised for consistency with the changes.
The Bases changes are provided for information only.

SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE The proposed changes are administrative in nature, in that the changes only relocate and update the IST program, do not eliminate any tests (IST) or inspections (ISI), and establish a Technical Specification Bases Control Program.
The changes are consistent with Improved Techncial Specfications. These proposed changes will eliminate the ASME Code inconsistency between the IST program and the TS as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii). These administrative type changes to the TS have no impact on public health and safety.
NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Virginia Electric and Power Company has reviewed the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92 as they relate to the proposed Technical Specifications change to include an IST and Technical Specifications Bases Control Program for the Surry Units 1 and 2. We have determined that a significant hazards consideration is not involved as discussed below:
The proposed changes are administrative in nature. In the Federal Register, Vol. 51, No. 44, dated March 6. 1986, Rules and Regulations, the NRC provided guidance for the determination of significant hazards considerations. Under item (e) regarding examples of Technical Specifications amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration, the following example was listed:
(i)
A purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature.
Technical issues concerning the Code were resolved previously through the NRC endorsement process which updates 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2). 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii),
states that if a revised inservice testing program for a facility conflicts with the technical specification for the facility, the licensee shall apply to the Commission for amendment of the technical specifications to conform the technical specification to the revised program. The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2 will: 1) delete TS 4.0.5 IS1 and IST requirements; 2) relocate the IST surveillance requirements to the administrative section of TS as a program and revise the associated TS to reference the IST program instead of TS 4.0.5; 3) delete the inservice inspection surveillance requirements and individual TS references to the IS1 program since these requirements are included in 10 CFR 50.55a; and 4) add a TS Bases Control Program to the Administrative Controls section of the TS. The changes associated with IST program are required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55.a(f)(5)(ii) to eliminate an inconsistency between the TS and the approved ASME Code.
Furthermore, the IS1 and IST changes are consistent with NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Plants.
Page 6 of 8
Criterion 1 - Operation of Surry Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the proposed Technical Specifications change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
The proposed change is administrative in nature, and station operations are not being affected. The ASME Code requirements are established, reviewed and approved by ASME, the industry and ultimately endorsed by the NRC for inclusion into 10 CFR 50.55a.
Updates to the ASME Code reflect advances in technology and consider information obtained from plant operating experience to provide enhanced inspection and testing. Thus, the proposed change only modifies TS to appropriately reference the recently NRC approved Inservice Testing Program for the fourth interval at Surry Power Station. Consequently, the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated are not increased.
Criterion 2 - The proposed Technical Specifications change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
As noted above, the proposed change is administrative in nature, and no new accident precursors are being introduced.
Since the inservice testing will continue to be performed in accordance with an NRC approved program, adequate assurance is provided to ensure the safety-related pumps and valves would operate as required. No new testing is required that could create a new or different type of accident.
Consequently, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Criterion 3 - The proposed Technical Specifications change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Performing inservice testing of pumps and valves to the NRC approved program for the fourth interval at Surry Power Station provides adequate assurance that the safety-related pumps and valves will continue to perform their intended safety function. This is an administrative change in nature and as such does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This amendment request meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(~)(9) as follows:
(i)
The amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.
As described above, the proposed change involves no significant hazards consideration.
Page 7 of 8
(ii)
There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.
The proposed change does not involve the installation of any new equipment, or the modification of any equipment that may affect the types or amounts of effluents that may be released offsite. This change only establishes programs to address Inservice Testing activities and the Bases of Surrys Technical Specification.
Therefore, there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.
(iii)
There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupation radiation exposure.
The proposed change does not involve plant physical changes, or introduce any new mode of plant operation. This change only establishes programs to address Inservice Testing activities and the Bases of Surrys Technical Specification.
Therefore, there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Based on the above, Dominion concludes that the proposed changes meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 51.22 for a categorical exclusion from the requirements of 10 CFR 51.22 relative to requiring a specific environmental assessment by the Commission.

B. The normal inspection interval is 10 years.
C. Detailed records of each inspection shall be maintained to allow a continuing evaluation and comparison with future inspections.
Bases The inspection program for ASME Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code limits its inspection to ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and supports.
Certain components, under Miscellaneous Inspections in this section, were added because of no corresponding code requirement. This added requirement provides the inspection necessary to insure the continued integrity of these components.
i Item 1.4 The low pressure turbine rotor blades are normally inspected concurrent with the disk and hub inspections. The disk and hub inspection frequency is based on existing crack size, crack growth rate, and system operating conditions. ASME Section XI does not provide specific examination requirements or acceptance criteria for turbine rotor inspections.
Procedures and acceptance criteria for turbine rotor inspections are consistent with general industry practices.

TS 4.8-3 03-07-94 Basis The correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the Auxiliary Feedwater System steam and water flow paths, including the cross-connect flow path, will provide assurance that the proper flow paths exist for system operation. This position check does not include: 1) valves that are locked, sealed or otherwise secured in position since they are verified to be in their correct position prior to locking, sealing or otherwise securing; 2) vent, drain or relief valves on those flow paths; and, 3) those valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned such as check valves. This surveillance does not require any testing or valve manipulation. It involves verification that those valves capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.
The auxiliary feedwater pump will be tested periodically in accordance

L-Z The auxiliary feedwater pumps are capable of supplying feedwater to the opposite units steam generators. For a main steam line break or fire event in the Main Steam Valve House, one of the opposite units auxiliary feedwater pumps is required to supply feedwater to mitigate the consequences of those accidents. Therefore, when considering a single failure, both motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps are required to be OPERABLE* during shutdown to support the opposite unit if the Reactor Coolant System temperature or pressure of the opposite unit is greater than 350°F and 450 psig, respectively. Thus, to establish operability* the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps will continue to be tested quarterly on the same STAGGERED TEST BASIS when the unit is shutdown to support the opposite unit. The turbine driven pump is not required to be OPERABLE when the unit is shutdown and therefore, is not tested during periods of shutdown.
