RPS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 T[. TF-I<=j 'Rev, '1 I BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.1.6 (continued) REQUIREMENTS A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to the measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drift to ensure that the instrument channel remains operational between successive" tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and bistable setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint analysis. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint analYSiS.) The Frequency is justified by the assumption of an [18] month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint analysis. ('-_ ~
\;l;lSe~!:y SR 3.3.1. 7 This SR verifies individual channel actuation response times are less than or equal to the maximum values assumed in the accident analysis. Individual component response times are not modeled in the analyses. The analyses model the overall, or total, elapsed time from the point at which the parameter exceeds the analytical limit at the sensor to the point of rod insertion. Response time testing acceptance criteria for this unit are included in Reference 1.
A Note to the Surveillance indicates that neutron detectors are excluded from RPS RESPONSE TIME testing. This Note is necessary because of the difficulty in generating an appropriate detector input signal. Excluding the detectors is acceptable because the principles of detector operation ensure a virtually instantaneous response. Response time tests are conducted on an [18] month STAGGERED TEST BASIS. Testing of the final actuation devices, which make up the bulk of the response time, is included in the testing of each channel. Therefore, staggered testing results in response time verification of these devices every [18] months. The [18] month Frequency is based on unit operating experience, which shows that random failures of (continued) BWOG STS B 3.3-29 Rev 1, 04/07/95
PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.17 TS7f'-/9, Rwr1"* BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.17.2 REQUIREMENTS (continued) A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months or approximately at every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. This test verifies the channel responds to measured parameters within the necessary range and accuracy. A Note clarifies that the neutron detectors are not required to be tested as part of the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. There is no adjustment that can be made to the detectors. Furthermore, adjustment of the detectors is unnecessary because they are passive devices, with minimal drift. Slow changes in detector sensitivity are compensated for by performing the daily calorimetric calibration and the monthly axial channel calibration. For the Containment Area Radiation instrumentation, a CHANNEL CALIBRATION may consist of an electronic calibration of the channel, not including the detector, for range decades above 10 R/hr, and a one point calibration check of the detector below 10 R/hr with a gamma source. The Frequency is based on operating experience and consistency with the typical industry refueling cycle and is justified by the assumption of an [18] month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift.

This Surveillance is not required for the HIS power range detectors for entry into MODE 2 or 1, and is not required for the NIS intermediate range detectors for entry into MODE 2, because the unit must be in at least MODE 2 to perform the test for the intermediate range detectors and MODE 1 for the power range detectors. The [18] month 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 were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed on the [18] month Frequency. SR 3.3.1.12 SR 3.3.1.12 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, as described in SR 3.3.1.10, every [18] months. This SR is modified by a Note stating that this test shall include

PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.3 T5TF/~ ~ev.i BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.3.1 (continued) REQUIREMENTS should be compared to similar unit instruments located throughout the unit. Agreement criteria are determined by the unit staff, based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including isolation, indication, and readability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit. If the channels are within the criteria, it is an indication that the channels are OPERABLE. As specified in the SR, a CHANNEL CHECK is only required for those channels that are normally energized. The Frequency of 31 days is based on operating experience that demonstrates that channel failure is rare. The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO required channels. SR 3.3.3.2 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months, or approximately at every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to measured parameter with the necessary range and accuracy. This SR is modified by a Note that excludes neutron detectors. The calibration method for neutron detectors is specified in the Bases of LCO 3.3.1, "Reactor Trip System (RTS) Instrumentation."

If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit. As specified in the Surveillance, a CHANNEL CHECK is only required for those channels which are normally energized. The Frequency of 31 days is based upon operating experience which demonstrates that channel failure is rare. The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO required channels. SR 3.3.4.2 SR 3.3.4.2 verifies each required Remote Shutdown System control circuit and transfer switch performs the intended function. This verification is performed from the remote shutdown panel and locally, as appropriate. Operation of the equipment from the remote shutdown panel is not necessary. The Surveillance can be satisfied by performance of a continuity check. This will ensure that if the control room becomes inaccessible, the unit can be placed and maintained in MODE 3 from the remote shutdown panel and the local control stations. The [18] month 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 were performed with the reactor at power. (However, this Surveillance is not required to be performed only during a unit outage.) Operating experience demonstrates that remote shutdown control channels usually pass the Surveillance test when performed at the [18] month Frequency.

This Surveillance should verify the OPERABILITY of the reactor trip circuit breaker (RTCB) open/closed indication on the remote shutdown panels by actuating the RTCBs. The Frequency of 18 months was chosen because the RTCBs cannot be exercised while the unit is at power. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at a Frequency of once every 18 months. Therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint. REFERENCES 1. 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 19,and Appendix R.

SR 3.3.11. 2 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months or approximately every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel including the sensor. The Surveillance verifies the channel responds to the measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. At this unit, CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find measurement ] [ errors are within the following acceptance criteria: For the Containment Area Radiation instrumentation, a CHANNEL CALIBRATION may consist of an electronic calibration of the channel, not including the detector, for range decades above 10 R/hr, and a one point calibration check of the detector below 10 R/hr with a gamma source. The Frequency is based upon operating experience and consistency with the typical industry refueling cycle and is justified by the assumption of an [18] month calibration interval for the determination of the magnitude of equipment dri ft.

Remote Shutdown System (Digital) B 3.3.12 7?:IF-I9, 'Rev.i. BASES SURVEI LLANCE SR 3.3.12.1 (continued) REQUIREMENTS CHANNEL CALIBRATION. Agreement criteria are determined by the plant staff, based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and readability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit. As specified in the Surveillance, a CHANNEL CHECK is only required for those channels that are normally energized. The Frequency is based on plant operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare. SR 3.3.12.2 SR 3.3.12.2 verifies that each required Remote Shutdown System transfer switch and control circuit performs its intended function. This verification is performed from the reactor shutdown panel and locally, as appropriate. Operation of the equipment from the remote shutdown panel is not necessary. The Surveillance can be satisfied by performance of a continuity check. This will ensure that if the control room becomes inaccessible, the plant can be bro~ght to and maintained in MODE 3 from the reactor shutdown panel and the local control stations. The [18] month 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 were performed with the reactor at power.

Paul Infanger, (352) 563-4796, paul.infanger@pgnmail.com Delete the phrase "Required Action requires performance of a surveillance or its" so that SR 3.0.2 would read: "If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a "once per..." basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance." The deleted phrase is unnecessary and potentially confusing. It is unnecessary since all "Once per..." basis requirements for Required Actions are in the Completion Time column. The deleted phrase is potentially confusing since it could be read to imply that the extension could only be applied if the periodic Required Action is a Surveillance. The proposed wording provides all the information that is necessary to correctly apply the extension. The proposed wording is consistent with NUREGs 1431, 1432, 1433, and 1434.

Patricia Furio, (410) 495-4374, patricia.s.furio@ccnppi.com On November 10, 1994, the NRC responded to a request by the BWR/6 owners to change the Section 2.0 "Safety Limits" and Section 5.0 "Administrative Controls" to allow the use of generic personnel titles as provided by ANSI/ANS 3.1 in lieu of plant-specific personnel titles [Letter from C. I. Grimes (NRC) to Lee Bush (WOG), Brian Mann (CEOG), Clinton Szabo (B&WOG) and Andrew Maron (BWROG), attached]. The NRC approved that request and provided example marked pages to the Rev. 0 Improved Technical Specifications. This change was not incorporated into Revision 1 of the ITS and is being proposed as a generic change for incorporation into the ITS. There is one difference between the NRC's proposed ITS changes and this change. The November 10, 1994 letter suggested using the bracketed phrase "a specified corporate executive position" to identify the utility corporate officer to be notified in case of a Safety Limit violation. This change proposes to use the phrase "the corporate officer with direct responsibility for the plant" (not bracketed) in lieu of inserting a plant-specific title.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION T5TF-6S" R~J WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 10, 1994 Mr. lee Bush Mr. Brian Mann Westinghouse Owners Group Combustion Engineering Owners Group c/o Commonwea1ln Edison Company c/o Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Zion Nuclear Power Station Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant 101 Shiloh Boulevard 1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway Zion, Illinois 60099 lusby, Maryland 20657-4702 Mr. Clinton Szabo Mr. Andrew Maron Babcock &Wilcox Owners Group BWR Owners Group c/o Entergy Operations c/o Pennsylvania Power and light Arkansas Nuclear One Company Route 3, Box 137G Two North Ninth Street, A2-4 Russelvi11e, Arkansas 72801 Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101-1179 Gentlemen: The BWR/6 Owners recently proposed a change to Section 2.0 "Safety limits" and Section 5.0 "Administrative Controls" of the improved STS. The proposed change would allow the use of generic personnel tjt1es as provided by ANSI/ANS 3.1 in lieu of plant specific personnel titles. This change does not . eliminate any of the qualifications, responsibilities or requirements for ~j these positions, since the p1ant-spe~~!~~ personnel titles are currently identified in licensee controlled t h as the Fi t Anal sis Report (ESAR) or t e ~ ity Assurance (QA) Plan. In addition, the improved STS require that these positlons meet the~fications of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.8 or an ANSI Standard acceptable to the NRC staff. The proposal provides a more direct link between the personnel qualifications as identified in the STS and STS-required responsibilities by utilizing the same ANSILANS St~dard position title. With the plant-specific personnel titles specified in the TS, a utility could utilize a person meeting the ANSI/ANS Standard qualifications to fulfill the TS qualification requirements while utilizing a separate person with the TS-identified title to perform the TS-required responsibilities. This is clearly not the intent of the TS requirements. The proposal will preclude this by utilizing the same generic position title for the responsibilities as contained in the qualifications requirements by reference to ANSI/ANS Standard or RG 1.8. The staff has reviewed the proposal and finds that lower case titles for all titles in the improved STS are acceptable. The titles selected by the 1icensee should agree with those titles in the ANSI Standard committed to in )~ improved STS Section 5.3. The relationship between the tjtles in the ANSI standard and the titles used b the license e de . 7 o e or an as appropr ate. Changes to titles in the FSAR/QA Plan shou1 be handled using normal FSAR/QA Plan change procedures (10 CFR
- 50. 54(a>>.
L. Bush, et a1. November 10, 1994 Titles have been identified in improved STS Section 2.0 and 5.~. Appropriately de-capitalized and bracketed titles for the pos;+ions in improved STS Section 2.0 and 5.0 are included as Enclosures 1 through 5. In addition, a Reviewer's Note should be placed at the beginning of improved STS Chapter 5.0 detailing the use of generic titles and title changes, and Specification 5.2.1.a should be modified as shown to provide the link between the generic titles in the improved STS and the FSAR/OA Plan. In the letter dated October 25, 1993, from W. T. Russell to the chairpersons of the NSSS Owners Groups, the NRC staff provided its review of the Administrative Controls Chapter (5.0) of the improved STS. One of the comments provided changed 5.2.2.f to require that the Operations Manager or the Assistant Operations Manager hold an *active* senior reactor operator (SRO) license. Subsequently, the Owners Groups proposed in BWOG-09, change C.5 that this requirement be changed to read *active or inactive.* During meetings with the BWR/6 Owners, the basis for the original staff position, the acceptability of the Owners Groups proposal, and the use of various adjectives such as active, inactive, current, and valid as they relate to NRC-licensed operators and senior operators were raised as issues. Current ANSI Standard commitments require the Operations Manager to *ho1d at time of appointment ***
- or .Obt~i nd hold ..*
- an SRO license. An individual licensed pursuant to 10 CFR Par 55 is considered to hold a license. This license can be valid, current, . e or inactive.
When used to describe Part 55 licenses, valid and current are equivalent terms and simply mean that the license holder (1) has passed the NRC initial license examination, (2) is participating in and current in the facility licensee's licensed operator requa1ification program, and (3) has renewed or will renew the license in accordance with 10 CFR 55.57. An active license is a license that is not only current and valid, but one for which the individual has been standing the required proficiency watches of 10 CFR 55.53(e). An active license is only necessary if the individual will assume licensed operator watchstanding duties. Individuals not maintaining an active license in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) are considered to have an inactive license. An inactive license can still be current and valid. In addition, it is necessary for the Operations Manager or Assistant Operations Manager to hold a senior operator license in order to effectively (1) interface with the day-to-day operational aspects of control room activities and (2) communicate operational issues to higher levels of plant and utility management. In order to fulfill the job requirements of the Operations Manager or Assistant Operations Manager positions, it is not necessary for these individuals to maintain the watchstanding proficiency necessary to be considered the shift supervisor or to be considered the operator at the controls. In conclusion, stating in Section 5.2.2.f that the Operations Manager or Assistant Operations Manager holds an SRO license is sufficient. It is unnecessary to add to Section 5.2.2.f. the word *active* as proposed in the
crSTF~6S Rc::V , L. Bush, et al. November 10, 1994 version sent to the Owners Groups or the Owners Groups language of -active or inactive.- Further, requiring this level of operations management to hold a license is consistent with the requirements of most current TS. In some cases, current TS may specify a -valid- or -current- license of the individual in the senior operations management position. Finally, the use of -active- to describe the license status of individuals designated to assume the control room command function is correct. Enclosures 1 through 5 include proposed changes the improved STS to reflect this position. We would appreciate your written response to the above staff positions or, if you prefer, we can meet with you to discuss this matter. Sincerely, c;~~ Christopher I.

This is an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the testing required to demonstrate OPERABILITY. (continued) BWR/4 STS 3.0-2 Rev 1, 04/07/95
TSTF-I04 Insert The exceptions allow entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time.

Steve Wideman, (620) 364-4037, stwidem@wcnoc.com The proposed change will make it clear that the TS requirement is only applicable to the new fuel, must be done within 31 days following addition to the storage tanks, and is only required to be done one time. As worded, paragraph b of the Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program can be, and has been, misinterpreted. Revision History OG Revision 0 Revision Status: Closed Revision Proposed by: Ginna Revision

Paul Infanger, (352) 563-4796, paul.infanger@pgnmail.com Revise Administrative Controls 5.5.9 to add the following sentence, "The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the Steam Generator Tube Surveillance Program test frequencies," and revise 5.5.13 to add the following sentence, "The provisions of SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 are applicable to the Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program testing frequencies." These sentences provide consistency with the current application of these requirements as provided in 5.5.6, "Pre-Stressed Concrete Containment Tendon Surveillance Program," and in 5.5.11, "Ventilation Filter Testing program." SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 are already applicable to the surveillances which reference these programs, and, therefore, the lack of an applicability statement in the Programs introduces confusion. Further, the applicability of SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 to the program surveillances is consistent with current licensing basis and the old STS. SR 3.0.3 is not addressed for the SGTSP since these tests cannot be performed during operation. Revision History OG Revision 0 Revision Status: Active Revision Proposed by: ANO-1 Revision

The current industry standards clearly indicate the operating bypasses are a part of the system function (IEEE-603, which replaced IEEE-279, and is endorsed by RG 1.153) and that CFT should include the testing of such bypasses (IEEE 338, Section 6.3.2). Further , such application of including the required channel bypasses is consistent with the application provided in the ISTS NUREGs for all other vendors.

Paul Infanger, (352) 563-4796, paul.infanger@pgnmail.com Delete the definition of EFFECTIVE FULL POWER DAYS. This definition is unnecessary, and inconsistent with the other ISTS NUREGs. EFPD is a very well understood, common term which does not require definition. This term is consistently used throughout the nuclear industry, and has been consistently applied for many years without a TS definition. Additionally, the term is not used as a defined term in the Bases. A search of the ISTS NUREGs reveals that the term "EFPD" is used in 37 Specifications or Bases in the PWR NUREGs. It is only defined in one occurrence (NUREG-1430, LCO 3.2.2 Bases). EFPD is not a defined term in the other ISTS NUREGs. Therefore, eliminating the defined term from NUREG-1430 and eliminating the one occurrence of it's definition from the NUREG-1430 Bases makes NUREG-1430 internally consistent in its usage and with the other NUREGs (both definitions, Specifications, and Bases).

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions CORE ALTERATION ALTERATIONS shall not preclude completion of (continued) movement of a component to a safe position. CORE OPERATING LIMITS The COLR is the unit specific document that REPORT (COLR) provides cycle specific parameter limits for the current reload cycle. These cycle specific limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in accordance with Specification 5.6.5. Plant operation within these limits is addressed in individual Specifications. DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 shall be that concentration of 1-131 (microcuries/gram) that alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of 1-131, 1-132, 1-133, 1-134, and 1-135 actually present. The thyroid dose conversion factors used for this calculation shall be those listed in [Table III of TID-14844, AEC, 1962, "Calculation of Distance Factors for Power and Test Reactor Sites," or those listed in Table E-7 of Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. I, NRC, 1977, or ICRP 30, Supplement to Part 1, page 192-212, Table titled, "Committed Dose Equivalent in Target Organs or Tissues per Intake of Unit ActiVity"]. 'E-AVERAGE 'E shall be the average (weighted in proportion DISINTEGRATION ENERGY to the concentration of each radionuclide in the reactor coolant at the time of sampling) of the sum of the average beta and gamma energies per disintegration (in MeV) for isotopes, other than iodines, with half lives> [15] minutes, making up at least 95% of the total noniodine activity in the coolant.

The fuel cycle desi n assumes_~SR withdrawal at the c r EFpqvburnup window specified in t e OLR. Prior to t is window, the APSRs cannot be maintained fully withdrawn in steady state operation. After this window, the APSRs are not allowed to be reinserted for the remainder of the fuel cycle. Error adjusted maximum allowable setpoints for APSR insertion are provided in the COLR. The setpoints are derived by adjustment of the measurement system independent limits to allow for THERMAL POWER level uncertainty and rod position errors. Actual alarm setpoints implemented in the unit may be more restrictive than the maximum allowable setpoint values to allow for additional conservatism between the actual alarm setpoints and the measurement system independent limits. APPLICABILITY The APSR physical insertion limits shall be maintained with the reactor in MODES 1 and 2. These limits maintain the power distribution within the range assumed in the accident analyses. In MODE 1, the limits on APSR insertion specified by this LCO maintain the axial fuel burnup design conditions assumed in the reload safety evaluation analysis. In MODE 2, applicability is required because ~ff 0.99. Applicability in MODES 3, 4, and 5 is not required, because the power distribution assumptions in the accident analyses would not be exceeded in these MODES. ACTIONS For steady state power operation, a normal position for APSR insertion is specified in the station operating procedures. The APSRs may be positioned as necessary for transient AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE control until the fuel cycle design requires them to be fully withdrawn. (Not all fuel cycles may incorporate APSR withdrawal.) APSR position limits are not imposed for gray APSRs, with two exceptions. If the fuel cycle design incorporates an APSR withdrawal (usually near end of cycle (EOC)), the APSRs may not be maintained in the fully withdrawn position prior to the fuel cycle burnup for (continued) SWOG STS B 3.2-13 Rev 1. 04/07/95

Delete statement "additional . . . limitations may be required" from LCO 3.0.6. There is an inconsistency between LCO 3.0.6, the Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP), and the LCO 3.0.6 Bases. As currently written, LCO 3.0.6 does not explicitly require an evaluation in accordance with the SFDP, rather it states that additional evaluations may be required. Both the SFDP and the LCO 3.0.6 Bases state that upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if a loss of safety function exists. In addition, because LCO 3.0.6 states that the evaluation be done in accordance with the SFDP and the SFDP states that other appropriate actions may be taken, there is no need for the statement "additional . . . limitations may be required" in LCO 3.0.6.

Tom Silko, (802) 258-4146, tsilko@entergy.com In a meeting between the NRC and the NEI TSTF on April 17, 1997, the NRC described problems that had been found with the ISTS definitions of Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, and related definitions. The NRC proposed revised definitions for these terms. Based on the NRC's suggestions, revised definitions of these terms have been developed and Bases statements have been added. 31-Jul-03 Traveler Rev. 3. Copyright (C) 2003, EXCEL Services Corporation. Use by EXCEL Services associates, utility clients, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is granted. All other use without written permission is prohibited.
BWROG-38, Rev. 0 TSTF-205-A, Rev. 3 The revised definitions eliminate a current ambiguity and possible misinterpretation of Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, Actuation Logic Test, Channel Operational Test, Trip Actuating Device Operational Test, and Logic System Functional Test. The current definitions use phrases similar to "required sensor, alarm, interlock, display and trip functions," and "required relays and contacts, trip units, solid state logic elements, etc." There is ambiguity in the application of the word "required" and whether the list is inclusive or representative. Therefore, this list has been replaced with phrases similar to, "all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY." This clarifies the use of the word "required" and makes clear that the components that are required to be tested or calibrated are only those that are necessary for the channel to perform its safety function. The list of components is eliminated from the definition. These changes will clarify the requirements and allow for consistent application of the definitions, tests, and calibrations. In addition, in the statement at the end of each definition addressing the allowance to have the test "... performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel steps. . ." the statement "... so that the entire channel/relay is tested/calibrated. . ." is deleted. This deletion is purely to remove the conflict between the verbatim reading of the definition where it is stated "... of all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY.. . ." and the flexibility of testing permitting a "... successful test to be the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. . ." as stated in the Bases. The revised CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST definition does not address the method of the testing of all of the required channel devices. As discussed in the Peach Bottom NRC Inspection Report addressing channel testing methods, a successful test of a channel relay and associated required contacts may be the verification of a single contact and that all contacts of the required device need not be tested provided the required channel contact is otherwise tested. The Bases of applicable Surveillances are modified to include this clarification of the acceptable methods of testing. This clarification is applied to all Channel Functional Tests, Channel Operational Tests, and TADOTs. In the Bases of the SRs a statement is added to indicate that, "A successful test of the required contact(s) of a channel relay may be performed by the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. This clarifies what is an acceptable [CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST / CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST / TADOT] of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests." This statement is modified for BWRs only to address the BWR specifics of the scram contactors as they pertain to the test of the Manual Scram Function. This statement is necessary to clarify what verification is required to support a successful test. This Bases statement to address the specifics of how the tests as defined may be performed is appropriate and acceptable because: 1) the entire scope of the required test is still being performed - only the acceptance criteria is modified to require verification of a certain portion of the instrument functions to have a successful test, and 2) all portions of the scope of the required test required for OPERABILITY are being tested, and 3) provision for the acceptance of the verification of change of the state of a single contact of the relay as desired by the NRC. Other changes are made for consistency of the definitions between the ISTS NUREGs. The NUREG-1430 Channel Functional Test and NUREG-1431 Channel Operational Test definitions are modified to include the sentence, "The CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL (OPERATIONAL for NUREG-1431) TEST may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." This allowance currently exists in the CEOG, BWR/4 and BWR/6 definitions of Channel Functional Test and is understood to apply to the BWOG and WOG definitions, although not stated. Editorial changes to the WOG Channel Calibration definition are made for consistency with the other ITS NUREGs. The changes proposed increase the consistency of the five NUREGs and are not intended to change the meaning or intent of the affected definitions.

REQUIREMENTS a small fraction of [2J% in any 24 hour period. Furthermore, the control room operators monitor redundant indications and alarms to detect deviations in channel outputs. SR 3.3.1. 3 A comparison of power range nuclear instrumentation channels against incore detectors shall be performed at a 31 day Frequency when reactor power is > 15% RTP. A Note clarifies that 24 hours is allowed for performing the first Surveillance afte, reaching 15% RTP. If the absolute
*difference between the power range and incore measurements is ~ [2J% RTP, the power range channel is not inoperable, but a CHANNEL CALIBRATION that adjusts the measured imbalance to agree with the incore measurements is necessary. If the power range channel cannot be properly recalibrated, the channel is declared inoperable. The calculation of the Allowable Value envelope assumes a difference in out of core to incore measurements of 2.5%.
Additional inaccuracies beyond those that are measured are also included in the setpoint envelope calculation. The 31 day Frequency is adequate, considering that long term drift of the excore linear amplifiers is small and burnup of the detectors is slow. Also, the excore readings are a strong function of the power produced in the peripheral fuel bundles, and do not represent an integrated reading across the core. The slow changes in neutron flux during the fuel cycle can also be detected at this interval. SR 3.3.1. 4 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required RPS channel to ensure that the entire channel will perform the intended function. SetDoints must be found within the Allowab e a ues specified in Table 3.3.1-1. Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with the assumptions of the current unit specific setpoint analysis.

REQUIREMENTS as inoperable, although during this time period it cannot initiate ESFAS. This allowance is based on the inability to perform the Surveillance in the time permitted by the Required Actions. Eight hours is the average time required to perform the Surveillance. It is not acceptable to routinely remove channels from service for more than 8 hours to perform required Surveillance testing. A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required ESFAS channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. Any setpoint adjustment shall be conslsten Wlt e assumptions of the current unit specific setpoint analysis. The Frequency of 31 days is based on unit operating experience, with regard to channel OPERABILITY and drift, which demonstrates that failure of more than one channel of a given function in any 31 day interval is a rare event. SR 3.3.5.3 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drift to ensure that the instrument channel remains operational between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and bistable setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint analysis. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint analysis. This Frequency is justified by the assumption of an [18] month calibration interval to determine the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint analysis.

ACTIONS A Note has been added to the ACTIONS indicating separate Condition entry is allowed for each ESFAS manual initiation Function. Condition A applies when one manual initiation channel of one or more ESFAS Functions becomes inoperable. Required Action A.I must be taken to restore the channel to OPERABLE status within the next 72 hours. The Completion Time of 72 hours is based on unit operating experience and administrative controls, which provide alternative means of ESFAS Function initiation via individual component controls. The 72 hour Completion Time is consistent with the allowed outage time for the safety systems actuated by ESFAS. B.I and B. 2 Required Action B.1 and Required Action B.2 apply if Required Action A.1 cannot be met within the required Completion Time. If Required Action A.I cannot be met within the required Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours and to MODE 5 within 36 hours. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on-operating experience, to reach the required MODES from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

BASES ACTIONS A.l and A.2 (continued) equivalent to the automatic actuation logic performing its safety function ahead of time. In some cases, placing the component in its engineered safeguard configuration would violate unit safety or operational considerations. In these cases, the component status should not be changed, but the supported system component must be declared inoperable. Conditions which would preclude the placing of a component in its engineered safeguard configuration include, but are not limited to, violation of system separation, a~tivation of fluid systems that could lead to thermal shock, or isolation of fluid systems that are normally functioning. The Completion Time of 1 hour is based on operating experience and reflects the urgency associated with the inoperability of a safety system component. Required Action A.2 requires entry into the Required Actions of the affected supported systems, since the true effect of automatic actuation logic failure is inoperability of the supported sys~em. The Completion Time of 1 hour is based on operating experience and reflects the urgency associated with the inoperability of a safety system component. SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.7.1 REQUIREMENTS SR 3.3.7.1 is the performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST on a 31 day STAGGERED TEST BASIS. The test demonstrates that every automatic actuation logic associated with one of the two safety system trains successfully performs the two-out-of-three logic combinations every 31 days. All automatic actuation logics are thus retested every 62 days. The test simulates the required one-out-of-three inputs to the logic circuit and verifies the successful operation of the automatic actuation 10 ic.

The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channel OPERABILITY during normal operational use of the displays associated with this LCO's required channels. SR 3.3.8.2 The Note allows channel bypass for testing without defining it as inoperable although during this time period it cannot actuate a diesel start. This allowance is based on the assumption that 4 hours is the average time required to perform channel Surveillance. The 4 hour testing allowance does not significantly reduce the probability that the EOG will start trip when necessary. It is not acceptable to routinely remove channels from service for more than 4 hours to perform required Surveillance testing.

EFIC Logic B 3.3.13 T~TF-2os-;7P~~.3 BASES ACTIONS A.I (continued) Therefore, the failed channel(s) must be restored to OPERABLE status to re-establish the system's single-failure tolerance. Condition A can be thought of as equivalent to failure of a single train of a two train safety system (e.g., the safety function can be accomplished, but a single failure cannot be taken). Thus, the Completion Time of 72 hours has been chosen to be consistent with Completion Times for restoring one inoperable ESF System train.
- The EFIC System has not been analyzed for failure of one train of one Function and the opposite train of the same Function. In this condition, the potential for system interactions that disable heat removal capability on EFW has not been evaluated. Consequently, any combination of failures in both channels A and B is not covered by Condition A and must be addressed by entry into LCO 3.0.3.
B.1 and B.2 If Required Action A.I cannot be met within the required Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours and to MODE 4 within 12 hours.

BASES ACTIONS A.l (continued) These conflicting requirements result in the necessity for two valves in series, in parallel with two valves in series, and a four channel valve command system. With one channel inoperable, the system cannot meet the single-failure criterion and still meet the dual functional criteria previously described. Therefore, when one vector valve logic channel is inoperable, the channel must be restored to OPERABLE status within 72 hours. This is analogous to having one EFW train inoperable; wherein a 72 hour Completion Time is provided by the Required Actions of LCD 3.7.4, "EFW System." As such, the Completion Time of 72 hours is based on engineering judgement. 8.1 and 8.2 If Required Action A.l cannot be met within the required Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCD does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours and to MODE 4 within 12 hours.

The Frequency is modified by a Note that allows this surveillance to be satisfied if it has been performed within [92] days of the Frequencies prior to reactor startup and four hours after reducing power below P-10 and P-6. The Frequency of "prior to startup" ensures this surveillance is performed prior to critical operations and applies to the source, intermediate and power range low instrument channels. The Frequency of "4 hours after reducing power below P-10~ (applicable to intermediate and power range low channels) and "4 hours after reducing power below P-6" (applicable to source range channels) allows a normal shutdown to be completed and the unit removed from the MODE of Applicability for this surveillance without a delay to perform the testing required by this surveillance. The Frequency of every 92 days thereafter applies if the plant remains in the MODE of Applicability after the initial performances of prior to reactor startup and four hours after reducing power below P-10 or P-6. The MODE of Applicability for this surveillance is < P-10 for the power range low and intermediate range channels and < P-6 for the source range channels. Once the unit is in MODE 3, this surveillance is no longer required. If power is to be maintained < P-10 or < P-6 for more than 4 hours, then the testing required by this surveillance must be performed prior to the expiration of the 4 hour limit. Four hours is a reasonable time to complete the required testing or place the unit in a MODE where this surveillance is no longer required.

The [18] month 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 were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed on the [18] month Frequency.

The test shall independently verify the OPERABILITY of the . undervoltage and shunt trip mechanisms for the Manual Reactor Trip Function for the Reactor Trip Breakers and Reactor Trip Bypass Breakers. The Reactor Trip Bypass Breaker test shall include testing of the automatic undervoltage trip. The Frequency is based on the known reliability of*the Functions and the multichannel redundancy available, and has been shown to be acceptable through operating experience. The SR is modified by a Note that excludes verification of setpoints from the TADOT. The Functions affected have no setpoints associated with them. SR 3.3.1.15 SR 3.3.1.15 is the performance of a TADOT of Turbine Trip Functions. This TADOT is as described in SR 3.3.1.4, except that this test is performed prior to reactor startup. A Note states that this Surveillance is not required if it has been performed within the previous 31 days. Verification of the Trip Setpoint does not have to be performed for this Surveil 1ance. Performance of th is test will ensure that the turbine trip Function is OPERABLE prior to taking the reactor critical. This test cannot be performed with the reactor at power and must therefore be performed prior to reactor startup. SR 3.3.1.16 SR 3.3.1.16 verifies that the individual channel/train actuation response times are less than or equal to the maximum values assumed in the accident analysis. Response time testing acceptance criteria are included in Technical Requirements Manual, Section 15 (Ref. 8). Individual component response times are not modeled in the analyses.

This SR is applied to the balance of plant actuation logic and relays that do not have the SSPS test circuits installed to utilize the semiautomatic tester or perform the continuity check. This test is also performed every 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. The Frequency is adequate based on industry operating experience, considering instrument reliability and operating history data. SR 3.3.2.4 SR 3.3.2.4 is the performance of a MASTER RELAY TEST. The MASTER RELAY TEST is the energizing of the master relay, verifying contact operation and a low voltage continuity check of the slave relay coil. Upon master relay contact operation, a low voltage is injected to the slave relay coil. This voltage is insufficient to pick up the slave relay, but large enough to demonstrate signal path continuity. This test is performed every 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. The time allowed for the testing (4 hours) and the surveillance interval are justified in Reference 8. SR 3.3.2.5 SR 3.3.2.5 is the performance of a COT. A COT is performed on each reqUired channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended Function. Setpoints must be found within the Allowable Values s ecified in Table 3.3.1-1. The difference between the current "as found" values and the previous test "as left" values must be consistent with the drift allowance used in the setpoint methodology. The setpoint shall be left set consistent with the assumptions of the current unit specific setpoint methodology. The "as found" and "as left" values must also be recorded and reviewed for consistency with the assumptions of the (continued) WaG STS 8 3.3-116 Rev 1, 04/07/95

The Frequency of 92 days is justified in Reference 8. SR 3.3.2.6 SR 3.3.2.6 is the performance of a SLAVE RELAY TEST. The SLAVE RELAY TEST is the energizing of the slave relays. Contact operation is verified in one of two ways. Actuation equipment that may be operated in the design mitigation MODE is either allowed to function, or is placed in a condition where the relay contact operation can be verified without operation of the equipment. Actuation equipment that may not be operated in the design mitigation MODE is prevented from operation by the SLAVE RELAY TEST circuit. For this latter case, contact operation is verified by a continuity check of the circuit containing the slave relay. This test is performed every [92] days. The Frequency is adequate, based on industry operating experience, considering instrument reliability and operating history data. SR 3.3.2.7 SR 3.3.2.7 is the performance of a TADOT every [92] days. This test is a check of the Loss of Offsite Power, Undervoltage RCP, and AFW Pump Suction Transfer on Suction Pressure- Low Functions. Each Function is tested up to, and including, the master transfer relay coils. The test also includes trip devices that provide actuation signals directly to the SSPS. The SR is modified by a Note that excludes verification of setpoints for relays. Relay setpoints require elaborate bench calibration and are verified during CHANNEL CALIBRATION. The Frequency is adequate. It is based on industry operating experience, considering instrument reliability and operating history data. (continued) WOG STS B 3.3-117 Rev 1, 04/07/95

The Frequency is adequate, based on industry operating experience and is consistent with the typical refueling cycle. The SR is modified by a Note that excludes verification of setpoints during the TADOT for manual initiation Functions. The manual initiation Functions have no associated setpoints. SR 3.3.2.9 SR 3.3.2.9 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION. A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months, or approximately at every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint methodology. The difference between the current "as found" values and the previous test "as left" values must be consistent with the drift allowance used in the setpoint methodology. The Frequency of [18] months is based on the assumption of an [18] month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint methodology. This SR is modified by a Note stating that this test should include verification that the time constants are adjusted to the prescribed values where applicable.

This Surveillance is only performed if the RHR suction relief valve is being used to satisfy this LCD. Every 31 days the RHR suction isolation valve is verified locked open, with power to the valve operator removed, to ensure that accidental closure will not occur. The "locked open" valve must be locally verified in its open position with the manual actuator locked in its inactive position.

Bistable Tests The bistable setpoint must be found to trip within the Allowable Values specified in the LCO and left set consistent with the assumptions of the plant specific setpoint analysis (Ref. 5). As found and as left values must also be recorded and reviewed for consistency with the assumptions of the frequency extension analysis. The requirements for this review are outlined in Reference 6. A test signal is superimposed on the input in one channel at a time to verify that the bistable trips within the specified tolerance around the setpoint. This is done with the affected RPS channel trip channel bypassed. Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with the assumptions of the current plant specific setpoint analysis. The as found and as left values must also be recorded and reviewed for consistency with the assumptions of the Frequency extension analysis. The requirements for this review are outlined in Reference [9]. Matrix Logic Tests Matrix Logic tests are addressed in lCO 3.3.3. This test is performed one matrix at a time. It verifies that a coincidence in the two input channels for each Function removes power from the matrix relays. During testing, power is applied to the matrix relay test coils and prevents the matrix relay contacts from assuming their de-energized state. This test will detect any short circuits around the bistable contacts in the coincidence logic, such as may be caused by faulty bistable relay or trip channel bypass contacts.

SR 3.1.5.4 Demonstrating the CEA deviation circuit is OPERABLE verifies the circuit is functional. The 31 day Frequency takes into account other information continuously available*to the operator in the control room, so that during CEA movement, deviations can be detected, and protection can be provided by the CEA motion inhibit. SR 3.1. 5.5 Verifying each CEA is trippable would require that each CEA be tripped. In MODES 1 and 2, tripping each CEA would result in radial or axial power tilts, or oscillations. Therefore, individual CEAs are exercised every 92 days to provide increased confidence that all CEAs continue to be trippable, even if they are not regularly tripped. A l movement of [5 inches] is adequate to demonstrate motion"/ without exceeding the alignment limit when only one CEA is being moved. The 92 day Frequency takes into consideration other information available to the operator in the control room and other surveillances being performed more frequently, which add to the determination of OPERABILITY of the CEAs. Between required performances of SR 3.1.5.5, if a CEA(s)is discovered to be immovable, but remains trippable and aligned, the CEA is considered to be OPERABLE.

Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass this Surveillance when performed at a Frequency of once every 18 months. Furthermore, the Frequency takes into account other surveillances being performed at shorter Frequencies, which determine the OPERABILITY of the CEA Reed Switch Indication System. SR 3.1. 5.5 Verification of full length CEA drop times determines that the maximum CEA drop time permitted is consistent with the assumed drop time used in the safety analysis (Ref. 7). Measuring drop times prior to reactor criticality, after reactor vessel head removal, ensures the reactor internals and CEDM will not interfere with CEA motion or drop time, and that no degradation in these systems has occurred that would adversely affect CEA motion or drop time. Individual CEAs whose drop times are greater than safety analysis assumptions are not OPERABLE. This SR is performed prior to criticality due to the plant conditions needed to perform the SR and the potential for an unplanned plant transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power.

SR 3.3.3.1 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST on each RPS Logic channel and RTCB channel is performed every [92] days to ensure tne entire channel will perform its intended function when needed In addition to power supply tests, the RPS CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST consists of three overlapping tests as described in Reference 3. These tests verify that the RPS is capable of performing its intended function, from bistable input through the RTCBs. The first test, the bistable test, is addressed by SR 3.3.1.4 in LCO 3.3.1. This SR addresses the two tests associated with the RPS Logic: Matrix Logic and Trip Path. Matrix Logic Tests These tests are performed one matrix at a time. They verify that a coincidence in the two input channels for each . Function removes power from the matrix relays. During testing, power is applied to the matrix relay test coils and prevents the matrix relay contacts from assuming their de-energized state. The Matrix Logic tests will detect any short circuits around the bistable contacts in the coincidence logic such as may be caused by faulty bistable relay or trip channel bypass contacts. Trip Path Tests These tests are similar to the Matrix Logic tests, except that test power is withheld from one matrix relay at a time, allowing the initiation circuit to de-energize, opening the affected set of RTCBs. The RTCBs must then be closed prior to testing the other three initiation circuits, or a reactor tri p may result. (continued) CEOG STS B 3.3-59 Rev 1, 04/07/95

SR 3.3.3.2 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST on the Manual Trip channels is performed prior to a reactor startup to ensure the entire channel will perform its intended function if required. The Manual Trip Function can be tested either at power or shutdown. However, the simplicity of this circuitry and the absence of drift concern makes this Frequency adequate. Additionally, operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed once within 7 days prior to each reactor startup. SR 3.3.3.3 Each RTCa is actuated by an undervo1tage coil and a shunt , trip coil. The system is designed so that either ,,~ de-energizing the undervoltage coil or energizing the shunt trip coil will cause the circuit breaker to open. When an RTCB is opened, either during an automatic reactor trip or by using the manual push buttons in the control room, the undervoltage coil is de-energized and the shunt trip coil is energized. This makes it impossible to determine if one of the coils or associated circuitry is defective. Therefore, once every 18 months, a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed that individually tests all four sets of undervoltage coils and all four sets of shunt trip coils. During undervoltage coil testing, the shunt trip coils shall remain de-energized, preventing their operation. Conversely, during shunt trip coil testing, the undervo1tage coils shall remain energized, preventing their operation. This Surveillance ensures that every undervoltage coil and every shunt trip coil is capable of performing its intended function and that no single active failure of any RTCB component will prevent a reactor trip. e 18 month Frequency is based on the need to perform his Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient of the Surveillance CEOG STS B 3.3-60 (continued) Rev 1, 04/07/95

SBFAS (Analog) B 3.3.10 TSTF-.20~Ir'~ .$I BASES (continued) ACTIONS When the number of inoperable channels in a trip Function exceeds those specified in the Conditions associated with the same trip Function, then the plant is outside the safety analysis. Therefore, LCO 3.0.3 should be immediately entered if applicable in the current MODE of operation. A.l Condition A applies to the failure of one SBFAS Manual Trip channel or of one Actuation Logic associated with the Chemical and Volume Control System Isolation Signal or SBFAS. Required Action A.1 requires restoration of the inoperable channel to restore redundancy of the affected Function. The Completion Time of 48 hours is consistent with the Completion Time of other ESFAS Functions employing similar logic and should be adequate for most repairs while minimizing the risk of operating with an inoperable channel for a manually actuated Function. B.1 and B.2 Condition B specifies the shutdown track to be followed if the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A are not met. If Required Action A.I cannot be met within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours and to MODE 5 within 36 hours. The Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required MODE from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

It verifies that a coincidence in the two input channels for each Function removes power from the matrix relays. During testing, power is applied to the matrix relay test coils and prevents the matrix relay contacts from assuming their de-energized state. This test will detect any short circuits around the bistable contacts in the coincidence logic, such as may be caused by faulty bistable relay or trip channel bypass contacts. Trip Path Tests Trip path (Initiation Logic) tests are addressed in LCD 3.3.4. These tests are similar to the Matrix Logic tests, except that test power is withheld from one matrix relay at a time, allowing the initiation circuit to de-energize, thereby opening the affected set of RTCSs. The RTCBs must then be closed prior to testing the other three ", initiation circuits, or a reactor trip may result. The Frequency of 92 days is based on the reliability analysis presented in topical report CEN-327, "RPS/ESFAS Extended Test Interval Evaluation" (Ref. 9). The CPC and CEAC channels and excore nuclear instrumentation channels are tested separately. The excore channels use preassigned test signals to verify proper channel alignment. The excore logarithmic channel test signal is inserted into the preamplifier input, so as to test the first active element downstream of the detector. The power range excore test signal is inserted at the drawer input, since there is no preamplifier. The quarterly CPC CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed using software. This software includes preassigned addressable constant values that may differ from the current values. Provisions are made to store the addressable constant values on a computer disk prior to testing and to reload them after testing.

The requirements for this review are outlined in Reference [9]. Operating experience has shown this Frequency to be satisfactory. The detectors are excluded from CHANNEL CALIBRATION because they are passive devices with minimal drift and because of the difficulty of simulating a meaningful signal.

The CPCs adjust for this flux overlap by using the predetermined shape annealing matrix elements in the epe software. After refueling, it is necessary to re-establish the shape annealing matrix elements for the excore detectors based on more accurate incore detector readings. This is necessary because refueling could possibly produce a significant change in the shape annealing matrix coefficients. Incore detectors are inaccurate at low power levels. THERMAL POWER should be significant but < 70% to perform an accurate axial shape calculation used to derive the shape annealing matrix elements. By restricting power to ~ 70% until shape annealing matrix elements are verified, excessive local power peaks within the fuel are avoided.

A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels.

Significant deviations between the two instrument cbannels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or of something even more serious.

BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.1.2.4 REQUIREMENTS {continued} This Surveillance consists of a verification of the SRM instrument readout to ensure that the SRM reading is greater than a specified minimum count rate, which ensures that the detectors are indicating count rates indicative of neutron flux levels within the core. With few fuel assemblies loaded, the SRMs will not have a high enough count rate to satisfy the SR. Therefore, allowances are made for loading sufficient "source" material, in the form of irradiated fuel assemblies, to establish the minimum count rate .. To accomplish this, the SR is modified by a Note that states that the count rate is not required to be met on an SRM that has less than or equal to four fuel assemblies adjacent to the SRM and no other fuel assemblies are in the associated core quadrant. With four or less fuel assemblies loaded around each SRM and no other fuel assemblies in the associated core quadrant, even with a control rod withdrawn, the configuration will not be critical. The Frequency is based upon channel redundancy and other information available in the control room, and ensures that the required channels are frequently monitored while core reactivity changes are occurring. When no reactivity changes are in progress, the Frequency is relaxed from 12 hours to 24 hours. SR 3.3.1.2.5 and SR 3.3.1.2.6 Performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST demonstrates the associated channel will function properly. SR 3.3.1.2.5 is required in MODE 5, and the 7 day Frequency ensures that the channels are OPERABLE while core reactivity changes could be in progress. This Frequency is reasonable, based on operating experience and on other Surveillances {such as a CHANNEL CHECK}, that ensure proper functioning between CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TESTS. SR 3.3.1.2.6 is required in MODE 2 with IRMs on Range 2 or below, and in MODES 3 and 4.

As noted at the beginning of the SRs, the SRs for each Control Rod Block instrumentation Function are found in the SRs column of Table 3.3.2.1-1. The Surveillances are modified by a Note to indicate that when an RBM channel is placed in an inoperable status solely for performance of required Surveillances, entry into associated Conditions and Required Actions may be delayed for up to 6 hours provided the associated Function maintains control rod block capability. Upon completion of the Surveillance, or expiration of the 6 hour allowance, the channel must be returned to OPERABLE status or the applicable Condition entered and Required Actions taken. This Note is based on the reliability analysis (Ref. 9) assumption of the average time required to perform channel Surveillance.

SR 3.3.2. 1. 6 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed for the Reactor Mode Switch--Shutdown Position Function to ensure that the entire channel will perform the intended function. The CrJnl'I'~~ FUNCTIONAL TEST for the Reactor Mode Switch--Shutdown Position Function is performed by attempting to withdraw any control rod with the reactor mode switch in the shutdown position and verifying a control rod block occurs. As noted in the SR, the Surveillance is not required to be performed until 1 hour after the reactor mode switch is in the shutdown position, since testing of this interlock with the reactor mode switch in any other position cannot be performed without using jumpers, lifted leads, or movable links. This allows entry into MODES 3 and 4 if the 18 month Frequency is not met per SR 3.0.2. The 1 hour allowance is based on operating experience and in consideration of providing a reasonable time in which to complete the SRs. The 18 month 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 were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 18 month Frequency.

Control rods in core cells containing no fuel assemblies do not affect the reactivity of the core and, therefore, do not have to be inserted. SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.2.1 REQUIREMENTS Proper functioning of the refueling position one-rod-out interlock requires the reactor mode switch to be in Refuel. During control rod withdrawal in MODE 5, improper positioning of the reactor mode switch could, in some instances, allow improper bypassing of required interlocks. Therefore, this Surveillance imposes an additional level of assurance that the refueling position one-rod-out interlock will be OPERABLE when required. By "locking" the reactor mode switch in the proper position (i.e., removing the reactor mode switch key from the console while the reactor mode switch is positioned in refuel), an additional administrative control is in place to preclude operator errors from resulting in unanalyzed operation. The Frequency of 12 hours is sufficient in view of other administrative controls utilized during refueling operations to ensure safe operation.

(The Manual Scram Function's CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST Frequency was credited in the analysis to extend many automatic scram Functions' Frequencies.) SR 3.3.1.1.6 and SR 3.3.1.1.7 These Surveillances are established to ensure that no gaps in neutron flux indication exist from subcritical to power operation for monitoring core reactivity status. The overlap between SRMs and IRMs is required to be demonstrated to ensure that reactor power will not be increased into a region without adequate neutron flux indication. This is required prior to withdrawing SRMs from the fully inserted position since indication is being transitioned from the SRMs to the IRMs. The overlap between IRMs and APRMs is of concern when reducing power into the IRM range. On power increases, the system design will prevent further increases (initiate a rod block) if adequate overlap is not maintained. Overlap between IRMs and APRMs exists when sufficient IRMs and APRMs concurrently have onscale readings such that the transition between MODE 1 and MODE 2 can be made without either APRM downscale rod block, or IRM upscale rod block. Overlap between SRMs and IRMs similarly exists when, prior to withdrawing the SRMs from the fully inserted position, IRMs are above mid-scale on range 1 before SRMs have reached the upscale rod block. As noted, SR 3.3.1.1.7 is only required to be met during entry into MODE 2 from MODE 1. That is, after the overlap requirement has been met and indication has transitioned to the IRMs, maintaining overlap is not required (APRMs may be reading downscale once in MODE 2). If overlap for a group of channels is not demonstrated (e.g., IRM/APRM overlap), the reason for the failure of the Surveillance should be determined and the appropriate channel(s) declared inoperable.

SRM Instrumentation B 3.3.1.2 TSTF-;2.oS; Rev=-S BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3. 1. 2.4 REQUIREMENTS (continued) This Surveillance consists of a verification of the SRM instrument readout to ensure that the SRM reading is greater than a specified minimum count rate. 'rhis ensures that the detectors are indicating count rates indicative of neutron flux levels within the core. With few fuel assemblies loaded, the SRMs will not have a high enough count rate to satisfy the SR. Therefore, allowances are made for loading sufficient nsourcen material, in the form of irradiated fuel assemblies, to establish the minimum count rate. ' To accomplish this, the SR is modified by a Note that states that the count rate is not required to be met on an SRM that has less than or equal to four fuel assemblies adjacent to the SRM and no other fuel assemblies are in the associated core quadrant. With four or less fuel assemblies loaded around each SRM and no other fuel assemblies in the associated quadrant, even with a control rod withdrawn the configuration will not be critical. The Frequency is based upon channel redundancy and other information available in the control room, and ensures that the required channels are frequently monitored while core reactivity changes are occurring. When no reactivity changes are in progress, the Frequency is relaxed from 12 hours to 24 hours. SR 3.3.1.2.5 and SR 3.3.1.2.6 Performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST demonstrates the associated channel will function properly. SR 3.3.1.2.5 is required in MODE 5, and the 7 day Frequency ensures that the channels are OPERABLE while core reactivity changes could be in progress. This 7 day Frequency is reasonable, based on operating experience and on other Surveillances (such as a CHANNEL CHECK) that ensure proper functioning between CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TESTS. SR 3.3.1.2.6 is required in MODE 2 with IRMs on Range 2 or below and in MODES 3 and 4. Since core reactivity changes do not normally take place, the Frequency has been extended from 7 days to 31 days.

This Note is based on the reliability analysis (Ref. 8) assumption of the average time required to perform channel Surveillance. That analysis demonstrated that the 6 hour testing allowance does not significantly reduce the probability that a control rod block will be initiated when necessary. SR 3.3.2.1.1. SR 3.3.2.1.2. SR 3.3.2.1.3. and SR 3.3 .2. 1. 4 The CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TESTS for the RPC and RWL are performed by attempting to withdraw a control rod not in compliance with the prescribed sequence and verifying that a control rod block occurs.

As noted, the SRs are not required to be performed until I hour after specified conditions are met (e.g., after any control rod is withdrawn in MODE 2).

SR 3.3.2.1.5 The LPSP is the point at which the RPCS makes the transition between the function of the RPC and the RWL. This transition point is automatically varied as a function of power. This power level is inferred from the first stage turbine pressure (one channel to each trip system). These power setpoints must be verified periodically to be within the Allowable Values. If any LPSP is nonconservative, then the affected Functions are considered inoperable. Since this channel has both upper and lower required limits, it is not allowed to be placed in a condition to enable either the RPC or RWL Function. Because main turbine bypass steam flow can affect the LPSP nonconservatively for the RWL, the RWL is considered inoperable with any main turbine bypass valves (continued) BWR/6 STS B 3.3-49 Rev 1, 04/07/95

This allows entry into MODES 3 and 4 if,the 18 month Frequency is not met per SR 3.0.2. The 1 hour allowance is based on operating experience and in consideration of providing a reasonable time in which to complete the SRs. The 18 month 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 were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when perfonled at the 18 month Frequency. SR 3.3.2.1. 9 LCO 3.1.3 and LCD 3.1.6 may require individual control rods to be bypassed in RACS to allow insertion of an inoperable control rod or correction of a control rod pattern not in compliance with BPWS. With the control rods bypassed in the RACS, the RPC will not control the movement of these bypassed control rods. To ensure the proper bypassing and movement of those affected control rods, a second licensed operator or other qualified member of the technical staff must verify the bypassing and movement of these control rods. Compliance with this SR allows the RPC to be OPERABLE with these control rods bypassed. REFERENCES 1. FSAR, Section [7.6.1.7.3].

The 184 day Frequency and the Note in the Surveillance are based on guidance provided in Generic Letter 91-09 (Ref. 2). SR 3.3.8.2.2 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop and the sensor. This test verifies that the channel responds to the measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drifts between successive calibrations consistent with the plant specific setpoint methodology.

RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.7 BASES TSTF-..2os;tf'eu.S SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.7.1 (continued) REQUIREM&NTS properly. The Frequency of 12 hours is based on instrument reliability and is reasonable for detecting off normal conditions. SR 3.4.7.2 This SR requires the performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST of the required RCS leakage detection instrumentation. The test ensures that the monitors can perform their function in the desired manner, The test also verifies the alarm setpoint and relative accuracy of the instrument string. The Fre uency of 31 da s considers i strument reliability, an opera 1ng experience as shown it proper for detecting degradation. SR 3.4.7.3 This SR requires the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION of the required ReS leakage detection instrumentation channels. The calibration verifies the accuracy of the instrument string, including the instruments located inside the drywell. The Frequency of [18] months is a typical refueling cycle and considers channel reliability. Operating experience has proven this Frequency is acceptable. REFERENCES l. 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 30.

Refueling Equipment Interlocks B 3.9.1 BASES IS T F,.:L 0 s: IP~~.~ LCO blocks to prevent operations that could result in (continued) criticality during refueling operations. APPLICABILITY In MODE 5, a prompt reactivity excursion could cause fuel damage and subsequent release of radioactive material to the environment. The refueling equipment interlocks protect against prompt reactivity excursions during MODE 5. The interlocks are only required to be OPERABLE during in-vessel fuel movement with refueling equipment associated with the interlocks. ' In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the reactor pressure vessel head is on, and no fuel loading activities are possible. Therefore, the refueling interlocks are not required to be OPERABLE in these MODES. ACTIONS With one or more of the required refueling equipment interlocks inoperable, the unit must be placed in a condition in which the LCO does not apply. In-vessel fuel movement with the affected refueling equipment must be immediately suspended. This action ensures that operations are not performed with equipment that would potentially not be blocked from unacceptable operations (e~g., loading fuel into a cell with a control rod withdrawn). Suspension of in-vessel fuel movement shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position. SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.1.1 REQUIREMENTS Performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST demonstrates each required refueling equipment interlock will function properly when a simulated or actual signal indicative of a required condition is injected into the logic. T e FUNCTIONAL TEST may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is tested. (continued) BWR/6 STS B 3.9-3 Rev 1, 04/07/95
Refuel Position One-Rod-Out Interlock B 3.9.2 T~ TF-;2os, ~cJI::5 BASES ACTIONS A.l and A.2 (continued) containing no fuel assemblies do not affect the reactivity of the core and, therefore, do not have to be inserted. SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.2.1 REQUIREMENTS Proper functioning of the refueling position one-rod-out interlock requires the reactor mode switch to be in Refuel. During control rod withdrawal in MODE 5, improper . positioning of the reactor mode switch could, in some instances, allow improper bypassing of required interlocks. Therefore, this Surveillance imposes an additional level of assurance that the refueling position one-rod-out interlock will be OPERABLE when requi red. By "1 ocki ng the reactor ll mode switch in the proper position (i.e., removing the reactor mode switch key from the console while the reactor mode switch is positioned in refuel), an additional administrative control is in place to preclude operator errors from resulting in unanalyzed operation. The Frequency of 12 hours is sufficient in view of other administrative controls utilized during refueling operations to ensure safe operation. SR 3.9.2.2 Performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST on each channel demonstrates the associated refuel position one-rod-out interlock will function properly when a simulated or actual 1rv)~u1 Al signal indicative of a required condition is injected into the 10gic~The CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST may be performed by any serles of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is tested. The 7 day Frequency is considered adequate because of demonstrated circuit reliability, procedural controls on control rod withdrawals, and visual and audible indications available in the control room to alert the operator of control rods not fully inserted. To perform the required testing, the applicable condition must be entered (i.e., a control rod must be withdrawn from its full-in position). Therefore, SR 3.9.2.1 has been modified by a Note that states the (continued) BWR/6 STS B 3.9-7 Rev 1, 04/07/95}}
