SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS


NOIB---------------

The Region I Fuel Storage Loading Schematic (Figure 3.9-1) designates each storage location as either Region 1A or Region IB.

Regarding fuel assemblies that contain a Rod Cluster Control Assembly for storage in Region 2 -

if the enrichment and burnup of a given assembly is not in the "Acceptable" domain of Figure 3.9-2 (e.g., the assembly requires a Rod Cluster Control Assembly to be stored in Region 2), then the assembly must be located in an acceptable Region l storage location before its Rod Cluster Control Assembly can be inserted or removed.

Initial enrichment is the maximum initial planar volume averaged as-built U-235 enrichment in the assembly. If the assembly has axial blankets the lower enriched fuel is not credited in determining the enrichment. Also, fuel burnup is the volume averaged bumup of the assembly as determined using the measured reaction rates.

g. Steam Generator (SG) Program A Steam Generator Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained. In addition, the Stearn Generator Program shall include the following:
a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments: Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during a SG inspection outage, as detennined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.
b. Provisions for performance criteria for SG tube integrity: SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down), all anticipated transients included in the design specification, and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary-to-secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure difl:erentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or a combination of accidents in accordance \Vith the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to detenninc if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion: The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 6-I7a Amendment No. iBS, 256

Leakage is not to exceed 500 gpd per SG.

3. The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion is specified in RCS LCO 3.4.6.2, "Operational LEAKAGE.
c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria: Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40%

of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged.

The following alternate tube plugging criteria shall be applied as an alternative to the 40% depth-based criteria:

1. Tubes with service-induced flaws located greater than 15.2 inches below the top of the tubesheet do not require plugging.

Tubes with service-induced flaws located in the portion of the tube from the top of the tubcsheet to 15 .2 inches below the top of the tubesheet shall be plugged upon detection.

d. Provisions for SG tube inspections: Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed. The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type ( e.g., volumetric flaws, axial and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the tubc-to-tubeshcet weld at the tube inlet to the tube-to-tubeshcet weld at the tube outlet, and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria. Portions of the tube below 15.2 inches below the top of the tubcsheet arc excluded from this requirement. The tubc-to-tubeshect weld is not part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requirements of d. l, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection methods, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. A degradation assessment shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.
1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation.
2. After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect each SG at least every 48 effective full power months or at least every other refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). In addition, the minimum number of tubes inspected at each scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in all SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each inspection period as defined in a, b, and c below. If a degradation assessment indicates the potential for a type of degradation to occur at a location not previously inspected with a technique capable of detecting this type of degradation at this location and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria, the minimum number of locations inspected with such a capable inspection technique during the remainder of the inspection period may be prorated.

Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspection outage in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection period begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.

a) After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect 100% of the tubes during the next 120 effoctive full power months. This constitutes the first inspection period; b) During the next 96 effective full power months, inspect l 00~1i of the tubes. This constitutes the second inspection period: and c) Dming the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 100% of the tubes every 72 cffoctive full power months. This constitutes the third and subsequent inspection periods.

3. If crack indications arc found in portions of the SG tube not excluded above, then the next inspection for each affected and potentially affected SG for the degradation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall not exceed 24 effective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). lf definitive information such as from examination of a pulled tube, diagnostic non-destmctive testing, or engineering evaluation indicates that a crack-like indication is not MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 6-17d Amendment No. 256

e. Provisions for monitoring operational primary to secondary LEAKAGE.
h. Control Room Envelope Habitability Program A Control Room Envelope (CRE) Habitability Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that CRE habitability is maintained such that, with an OPERABLE Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVs), CRE occupants can control the reactor safely under normal conditions and maintain it in a safe condition following a radiological event, hazardous chemical release, or a smoke challenge. The program shall ensure that adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access and occupancy of the CRE under design basis accident (DBA) conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident. The program shall include the following elements:
a. The definition of the CRE and the CRE boundary.
b. Requirements for maintaining the CRE boundary in its design condition including configuration control and preventive maintenance.
c. Requirements for (i) determining the unfiltered air inleakage past the CRE boundary into the CRE in accordance with the testing methods and at the Frequencies specified in Sections C. 1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, "Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 0, May 2003, and (ii) assessing CRE habitability at the Frequencies specified in Sections C. l and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0.

The following are exceptions to Sections C. 1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0:

1. Appropriate application of ASTM E7 41 shall include the ability to take minor exceptions to the test methodology. These exceptions shall be documented in the test report, and
2. Vulnerability assessments for radiological, hazardous chemical and smoke, and emergency ventilation system testing were completed as documented in the UFSAR and other licensing basis documents. The exceptions to the Regulatory Guides (RG) referenced in RG 1.196 (i.e., RG 1.52, RG 1.78, and MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 6-l 7e Amendment No. 243, 245, 256

Measurement, at designated locations, of the CRE pressure relative to all external areas adjacent to the CRE boundary during the pressurization mode of operation by one train of the CREV s, operating at the flow rate required by the Surveillance Requirements, at a Frequency of 48 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. The results shall be trended and used as part of the 24 month assessment of the CRE boundary.
e. The quantitative limits on unfiltered air inleakage into the CRE.

These limits shall be stated in a manner to allow direct comparison to the unfiltered air inleakage measured by the testing described in paragraph c.

1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan V The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of non-radiological environmental values during operation of the nuclear facility.

The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

(1) Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement - Operating Licensing Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.

V (3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and of actions taken to control those effects.

Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

1-1

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated December, 1984, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 3. No environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.

MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 2-1 Amendment No. 229

3.0 Consistency Requirements 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design* or operation or perfonn tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not in-volve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*. Changes in station design or operation or perfonnance of tests or ex-periments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the require-ments of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.

Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and re-cord an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities- are exc~uded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the onsite areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity in-volves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a

written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval. When such activity involves a change in the EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.

A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (I) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.

The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0. The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests and experiments.
