FOR THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Original Signed by Edson G. Case Edson G. Case, Acting Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Attachment:

Appendices A & B Date of Issuance: May 20, 1981 Amendment No.

DEFINITIONS

b. Leakage into the containment atmosphere from sources that are both specifically located and known either not to interfere with the operation of leakage detection systems or not to be PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE, or

c. Reactor coolant system leakage through a steam generator to the secondary system.

MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC 1.16 MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC shall be all those persons who are not occupationally associated with the plant. This category does not include employees of Exelon Generation Company, LLC, its contractors, or vendors.

Also excluded from this category are persons who enter the site to service equipment or to make deliveries. This category does include persons who use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant.

OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) 1.17 The OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM) shall contain the methodology and parameters used in the calculation of offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, in the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring Alarm/Trip setpoints, and in the conduct of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program. The ODCM shall also contai-n A1V the Radioactive Effluent--controls and Radiological Environmental Monitoring programs required by Section 6.8.4 and (2) descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by Specifications 6.9.1.7 and 6.9.1.8 respectively.

OPERABLE - OPERABILITY 1.18 A system, subsystem, train, component, or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified safety function(s) and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal or emergency electrical power, cooling and seal water, lubrication, and other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its specified safety function(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).

OPERATIONAL MODE - MODE 1.19 An OPERATIONAL MODE (ie., MODE) shall correspond to any one inclusive combination of core reactivity condition, power level and average reactor coolant temperature specified in Table 1.1.

SALEM - UNIT 2 1-4 Amendment No.

3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES The minimum requirement for reactor subcriticality also ensures that the decay time is consistent with that assumed in the Spent Fuel Pool cooling analysis. Delaware River water average temperature between October 151 and May 1 5 th is determined from historical data taken over 30 years. The use of 30 years of data to select maximum temperature is consistent with Reg. Guide 1.27, "Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants'.

A core offload has the potential to occur during both applicability time frames. In order not to exceed the analyzed Spent Fuel Pool cooling capability to maintain the water temperature below 180 0 F, two decay time limits are provided. In addition, Exelon Generation Company, LLC has developed and implemented a Spent Fuel Pool Integrated Decay Heat Management Program as part of the Salem Outage Risk Assessment. This program requires a pre-outage assessment of the Spent Fuel Pool heat loads and heatup rates to assure available Spent Fuel Pool cooling capability prior to offloading fuel.

3/4.9.4 CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATIONS During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment the requirements for containment building penetration closure capability and OPERABILITY ensure that a release of fission product radioactivity within containment will not exceed the guidelines and dose calculations described in Reg Guide 1.183, Alternative Radiological Source Term for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Plants. In MODE 6, the potential for containment pressurization as a result of an accident is not likely.

Therefore, the requirements to isolate the containment from the outside atmosphere can be less stringent. The LCO requirements during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment are referred to as containment closure" rather than containment OPERABILITY. For the containment to be OPERABLE, CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY must be maintained. Containment closure

-means that all potential release paths are closed or capable of being closed.

Closure restrictions include the administrative controls to allow the opening of both airlock doors and the equipment hatch during fuel movement provided that: 1) the equipment inside door or an equivalent closure device installed is capable of being closed with four bolts within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> by a designated personnel; 2) the airlock doors are capable of being closed within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> by designated personnel, 3) either the Containment Purge System or the Auxiliary Building Ventilation System taking suction from the containment atmosphere are operating and 4) the plant is in Mode 6 with at least 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange.

Administrative requirements are established for the responsibilities and appropriate actions of the designated personnel in the event of a Fuel Handling Accident inside containment. These requirements include the responsibility to be able to communicate with the control room, to ensure that the equipment hatch is capable of being closed, and to close the equipment hatch and personnel airlocks within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in the event of a fuel handling accident inside containment. These administrative controls ensure containment closure will be established in accordance with and not to exceed the dose calculations performed using guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.183.

SALEM - UNIT 2 B 3/4 9-1c Amendment No.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS C. A detailed description of the equipment, components and processes involved and the interfaces with other plant systems;

d. An evaluation of the change, which shows the predicted releases of radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluents and/or quantity of solid waste that differ from those previously predicted in the license application and amendments thereto;

e. An evaluation of the change, which shows the expected maximum exposures to individual in the unrestricted area and to the general population that differ from those previously estimated in the license application and amendments thereto;

f. A comparison of the predicted releases of radioactive materials, in liquid and gaseous effluents and in solid waste, to the actual releases for the period prior to when the changes are to be made;

g. An estimate of the exposure to plant operating personnel as a result of the change; and

h. Documentation of the fact that the change was reviewed and found acceptable by the (SORC).
