2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1. Regulatory Requirements Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, requires applicants for licenses to operate nuclear power plants to include TSs as part of the license application. These TSs become part of any license issued and are derived from the plant safety analyses.

The regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36, "Technical specifications," contain the requirements for the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.

The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) list four criteria used to determine whether or not LCOs must be established in the TSs for items related to plant operation. If the item meets one or more of the four criteria listed below, an LCO must be established in the TSs to ensure the lowest functional capability or performance level of equipment required for safe operation of the facility will be met. The four criteria are:

Criterion 1. Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2. A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Criterion 3. A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Criterion 4. A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36 do not specify each particular requirement to be included in a plant's TSs, nor do they specify the format of a plant's TSs. Rather, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) publishes generic guidance on TS format and content. The NRC published a set of Standard Technical Specifications (STS) in NUREG-1431, Revision 3, "Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants," dated March 2004. The STS are a guide to what a plant's TS should contain with regard to format and content. The STS are not requirements in a regulatory sense, but licensees adopting portions of the improved STS to eXisting TSs should adopt all related requirements, as applicable, to achieve a high degree of standardization and consistency.

-3 Licensees may propose revisions to the TSs to adopt improved STS format and content provided that the plant-specific review supports a determination of continued adequate safety because: (1) the change is editorial, administrative or provides clarification (i.e., no requirements are materially altered), (2) the change is more restrictive than the licensee's current requirement, or (3) the change is less restrictive than the licensee's current requirement, but nonetheless still affords adequate assurance of safety when judged against current regulatory standards. The NRC staff reviews the proposed revision and determines whether or not the proposed revision is acceptable. If the staff determines that the proposed revision is acceptable, the staff changes the licensee's TSs. The detailed application of this general framework, and additional specialized guidance, are discussed in Section 3.0, "Technical Evaluation," in the context of specific proposed changes.

2.2 System Description Section 15.1.5 of Revision 14 to the Callaway Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) presented results for the design basis main steam line break accident. The major rupture of a steam line was the most limiting cooldown transient and was analyzed at zero power with no decay heat.

Effects of minor secondary system pipe breaks were bounded by this analysis. The main steam isolation valves, the associated bypass valves, and the steam line drain valves isolate the steam generators and the main steam lines upon a signal initiated by the engineered safety features actuation system under the conditions of high negative steam line pressure rates, low steamline pressure, or high containment pressures. Callaway FSAR Table 15.1-2, "Equipment Required Following a Rupture of a Main Steam Line," included the following required equipment: the main steam isolation valves (trip closed feature), the main steam isolation bypass valves (trip closed feature), the steam generator blowdown isolation valves (automatic closure feature), and the auxiliary feedwater system, (including pumps, water supplies, piping and valves). Isolation of the chemical injection lines in the feedwater system supports operation of the auxiliary feedwater system.

Section 10.4.7.3 of Revision 14 to the Callaway FSAR described that, for a main feedwater line break inside the containment or a main steam line break, the main feedwater isolation valves located in the auxiliary building and the main feedwater control valves located in the turbine building automatically close upon receipt of a feedwater isolation signal or low-low steam generator level signal. For each intact feedwater loop, the main feedwater isolation valve, main feedwater control valve, and associated redundant isolation of the chemical addition line would close, forming a pressure boundary to permit auxiliary feedwater addition. Callaway FSAR Table 10.4-7, "Feedwater Isolation Single Failure Analysis," described that, should the chemical addition isolation valve fail to close upon receipt of an automatic signal, the associated check valve would close, providing adequate isolation.

The licensee provided information regarding the function and operation of the various steam isolation valves in the May 4, 2009, letter. The attachment included the following information about the steam isolation valves:

The Main Steam System functions to (1) contain and transport saturated steam from the steam generator to the main turbine and other loads, (2) serve as the main heat sink for the primary system, preventing fuel overheating during transients and accidents, and (3) supply a source of power to the turbine-driven

-4 auxiliary feedwater pump (TDAFP) turbine. The Main Steam System starts at the four steam generators and includes the components on each of the four main steam lines. Leaving the steam generator, each main steam line contains an atmospheric steam dump valve and five main steam safety valves. Downstream of the main steam safety valves, are steam supplies to the TDAFP via two of the four steam headers.

Main steam then flows through the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) or MSIV Bypass valves (MSIVBVs) to the turbine bUilding. The MSIVs and MSIVBVs provide steam generator isolation for steam line break protection. Upstream of the MSIVs, the steam generators act independently of each other when the MSIVs are closed. Normally the MSIVs are open and the MSIVBVs are closed.

When the MSIVs are open, the individual main steam flows from the steam generators tie together in a parallel confjguration which is then distributed to loads in the turbine building. The crosstie header equalizes the pressure in all four steam generators which maintains equal flow on all the generators. On each steam header upstream of the MSIVs is a 12-inch diameter drain standpipe.

Attached to the 12-inch line is a 1-inch diameter line back to the condenser. One air-operated low point drain isolation valve (MSLPDIV) is installed in each 1-inch drain line. The MSLPDIV is normally open to allow a steam trap to pass moisture to the main condenser. FSAR Section 10.3 describes the Main Steam Supply system.

MSIV Bypass Valves (MSIVBVs)

The MSIVBVs are air-operated, two-inch bypass valves around the MSIVs. They are provided for warming of downstream steam lines and equalizing the steam pressure across the MSIVs. The MSIVBVs have two redundant solenoid valves which, when deenergized, result in valve closure. Both of the solenoid valves are de-energized on a steamline isolation signal. The MSIVs and bypass valves are controlled from the main control board panel. The bypass valves also have manual handwheels that are normally locked in the neutral position.

Main Steam Low Point Drain Isolation Valves (MSLPDlVs)

On each of the four main steam lines, upstream of the main steam isolation valves, is a 12-inch diameter low point drain line. Each drain line has a level detection system that consists of a level switch that annunciates on a high level.

One air-operated low point drain valve (IVISLPDIV) is installed in each drain line.

The MSLPDIVs are normally open to allow a steam trap to pass moisture to the main condenser. The MSLPDIVs close upon receipt of a steam line isolation signal (SLlS) and function to isolate the plant's secondary side. The MSLPDIVs fail in the closed position.

Steam Generator Blowdown Isolation Valves (SGBSlVs)

The SGBSIVs are air-operated globe valves which fail closed. For emergency closure, either of two safety-related solenoid valves is de-energized to dump air

-5 supplied to the valve actuator. The electrical solenoid valves are energized from separate Class 1E sources and are tripped upon receipt of a steam generator blowdown isolation signal.

Steam Generator Blowdown Sample Isolation Valves (SGBSSIVs)

Three SGBSSIVs are installed in each of the sample line flow paths for each steam generator. Two valves are located inside the containment (one from each sample point), and one valve is located outside containment. The SGBSSIVs prevent uncontrolled blowdown from more than one steam generator and isolate the non-safety related portions from the safety-related portions of the system.

The SGBSSIVs are solenoid-operated globe valves which fail closed. The inside containment solenoid valves are energized from separate Class 1E sources from the outside containment solenoid valves. These valves are also closed upon receipt of a steam generator blowdown isolation signal.

Steam Generator Chemical Injection Isolation Valves (SGCIIVs)

The SGCllVs are air-operated globe valves, which fail closed on loss of air. The valves automatically close upon receipt of a feedwater isolation signal. When the valves are closed or isolated they function to isolate the plant's secondary side.

Containment Isolation Licensing Basis As noted in FSAR Sections 6.2.4.3,6.2.6.3, and on Figure 6.2.4-1 and Figure 6.2.4-2, the containment penetrations associated with steam generators are not subject to the 10 CFR 50 Appendix A General Design Criteria that address containment isolation provisions, since the containment barrier integrity is not breached. At Callaway, the boundary or barrier against fission product leakage to the environment is the inside of the steam generator tubes and the outside of the lines emanating from the steam generator shells. The piping itself is an extension of containment and thus treated as the containment barrier. Therefore, the purpose of the main steam line and feed line isolation valves is to isolate the plant secondary side, to control steam generator blow down, and to ensure the delivery of required auxiliary feedwater flow during a design basis accident.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes for compliance with 10 CFR 50.36 and agreement with the STS. In general, licensees cannot justify technical specification changes solely on the basis of adopting the model STS. To ensure this, the NRC staff makes a determination that proposed changes maintain adequate safety. Changes that result in relaxation (Le., a less restrictive condition) of current TS requirements require detailed justification. The following is the NRC staff's detailed evaluation of the licensee's proposed changes to the TSs.

-6 3.1 TS 3.7.2, "Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs)"

The proposed changes to TS 3.7.2 are as follows:

Currently, the Applicability statement for TS 3.7.2 states "MODES 1,2, and 3." The revised Applicability statement for TS 3.7.2 will state:

For the MSIV and its associated actuator trains in each main steam line:

MODE 1, MODES 2 and 3 except when the MSIV is closed and de-activated.

For the MSIVBV in each main steam line:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a. MSIVBV is closed and de-activated, or
b. MSIVBV is closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or
c. MSIVBV is isolated by two closed manual valves.

For the MSLPDIV in each main steam line:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a. MSLPDIV is closed and de-activated, or
b. MSLPDIV is closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or
c. MSLPDIV is isolated by two closed manual valves.

  • New TS 3.7.2 Conditions H and I will state the following:

COMPLETION CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION TIME H. ----------NO-rE----------- H.1 Close or isolate 7 days Separate Condition MSIVBV.

AND One or more 1.2 Verify MSLPDIV is Once per 7 days MSLPDIVs inoperable. I closed or isolated.

  • The current TS 3.7.2 Condition H will be re-Iabeled as Condition J; current Required Actions H.1 and H.2 will be re-Iabeled as Required Actions J.1 and J.2, respectively, and the current Note which states "Separate Condition entry is allowed for each MSIV," will be revised to state "Separate Condition entry is allowed for each main steam line."
  • The current TS 3.7.2 Condition I, which states "Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition H not met," will be re-Iabeled as Condition K and revised to state "Required Action and associated Completion Time of Conditions H, I, or J not met." Also, current Required Actions 1.1 and 1.2 will be re-Iabeled as Required Actions K.1 and K.2, respectively.
  • Currently, SR 3.7.2.2 states "Verify each MSIV actuates to the isolation position on an actual or simulated actuation signaL" Revised SR 3.7.2.2 will state "Verify each MSIV, each MSIVBV, and each MSLPDIV actuates to the isolation position on an actual or simulated actuation signaL"

  • The proposed changes to the TS Table of Contents result from the revisions as discussed above; therefore, the licensee is renumbering the pages for TS 3.7.3 through TS 3.7.18. This is the only change for TS 3.7.3 through TS 3.7.18.

The licensee proposed to add LCOs requiring operability of the MSIVBV and the MSLPDIV to TS 3.7.2. The existing TS 3.7.2 LCO requires operability of the MSIV and its associated actuator trains in each of the four main steam lines. In Section 4.1 of its letter dated May 4, 2009, the licensee stated that the MSIVBVs are normally closed during plant operation, while the MSIVs are open. However, the MSIVBVs are open for warming of the steam lines and equalizing steam pressure across the MSIVs, and they may also be opened to support maintenance and testing. The licensee also described that the MSLPDIVs are normally open during plant operation. Similarly, the MSIVs are also normally open.

The licensee identified that, although less significant in terms of potential accident consequences, either an open MSIVBV or an open MSLPDIV constitutes a flow path similar to the MSIVs and should be subject to the same or similar requirements. The proposed TS change would add the MSIVBVs and the MSLPDIVs to the TSs, and more clearly convey that each valve's isolation function is required for its respective steam line. The proposed LCO would ensure the MSIV, MSIVBV, and MSLPDIV in each steam line would isolate steam flow from the secondary side following a high-energy line break. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that addition of the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs to TS LCO 3.7.2 is consistent with Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii), and is, therefore, acceptable.

The licensee proposed a change in the TS applicability for the MSIVs and addition of specific applicability for the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs. The MSIVs and the associated actuator trains would be required to be operable at all times in MODE 1. In MODES 2 and 3, the MSIVs and the associated actuator trains are required to be operable except when the MSIV is closed and deactivated. This proposed MSIV applicability is consistent with the Westinghouse improved STS, and the exception for a closed and de-activated MSIV in MODES 2 and 3 provides assurance that the valve would perform its safety function. Similar to the MSIVs, the MSIVBVs and the MSLPDIVs would be required to be operable in MODES 1, 2, and 3, except when the affected valve is in one of the following conditions:

a. closed and de-activated, or
b. closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or
c. isolated by two closed manual valves.

Anyone of these conditions assures, assuming a single failure, that the required safety function of isolating steam flow from the secondary side following a high-energy line break would be accomplished. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed Applicability of revised TS 3.7.2 is acceptable.

The licensee proposed revised Conditions, Required Actions, and Completion Times for TS 3.7.2. Conditions A through G, which relate to the MSIVs, would be unchanged with the exception of an editorial change to Condition E clarifying that the Condition applies to the MSIV actuator. The licensee proposed adding new Conditions H and I, which would allow for a separate Condition entry for each steam line for one or more inoperable MSIVBVs and one or

- 9 more inoperable MSLPDIVs, respectively. The associated Actions and Completion Times for new Conditions H and I would be to close or isolate the affected valve within 7 days and to verify the affected valve is closed or isolated once every 7 days thereafter. The licensee also proposed making editorial changes to existing Condition H that would re-Iabel it Condition J and specify a separate Condition entry for each main steam line (rather than for each MSIV).

Finally, existing Condition I would be re-Iabeled as Condition K and changed so it would apply when the Required Action and associated Completion Time are not satisfied for new Conditions H or I (one or more inoperable MSIVBVs or MSLPDIVs, respectively). Condition K would continue to apply when the Required Action and associated Completion Time are not satisfied for Condition J (one or more inoperable MSIVs in MODES 2 or 3). The Required Actions and Completion Times for Condition K would be unchanged. Therefore, the overall effect of the proposed changes would be to expand the scope to include inoperable MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs and specify Required Actions and Completion Times for these added Conditions, and the NRC staff concludes that this change is acceptable because the changes provide additional safety.

The proposed Completion Times for closure of the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs under Conditions H and I, respectively, are significantly longer than the existing Completion Time for closure of an inoperable MSIV in MODE 2 or 3. However, the longer Completion Time would be justified by the low probability of a high-energy line break requiring isolation of the specific MSIVBV or MSLPDIV line and the significantly lower consequences associated with failure to isolate the associated small diameter lines. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the specification of a 7-day Completion Time for initial closure of one or more inoperable MSIVBVs and/or MSLPDIVs is acceptable.

The licensee also proposed to revise SR 3.7.2.2 and add new SR 3.7.2.3 to demonstrate that the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs would actuate to the isolation position on an actual or simulated actuation signal (modified SR 3.7.2.2) and would isolate within the required time (new SR 3.7.2.3). These changes to the SRs would be consistent with the additional LCOs.

Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the changes to the SRs are acceptable.

3.2 TS 3.7.19, "Secondary System Isolation Valves (SSIVs)"

In its application dated May 4,2009, the licensee proposed to add new TS 3.7.19 which states:

3.7.19 Secondary System Isolation Valves (SSIVs)

LCO 3.7.19 The SSIVs shall be OPERABLE.

  • The proposed changes to the TS Table of Contents result from the addition of newTS 3.7.19.

The licensee proposed the addition of new TS 3.7.19, "Secondary System Isolation Valves (SSIVs)." The TS 3.7.19 would apply to the normally locked-closed manual steam generator chemical injection isolation valves, the automatically isolated steam generator blowdown isolation valves and the steam generator sample line isolation valves. The licensee provided

- 11 Bases for the proposed new TS that more specifically identified the SSIVs. The proposed LCO simply states that "SSIVs shall be OPERABLE." This LCO is modified by a note stating that locked closed manual SSIVs may be opened under administrative controls. In its letter dated May 4, 2009, the licensee states that the administrative controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator at the valve controls, who is in continuous communication with the control room. In this way, the valve can be rapidly isolated when a need for isolation is indicated.

The licensee proposed an LCO applicability that would require the SSIVs to be operable in MODES 1, 2, and 3, which is when there is significant mass and energy in the reactor coolant system and steam generators. The licensee proposed exceptions to the applicability where performance of the safety function of the SSIV in a particular secondary system flow path is assured by one of the following conditions:

a. at least one of the two associated SSIVs in the line is closed and de-activated; or
b. at least one of the two associated SSIVs is closed and isolated by a closed manual valve; or
c. the SSIV flow path is isolated by two closed manual valves, or two closed de-activated automatic valves, or a combination of a closed manual valve and a closed de-activated automatic valve.

Anyone of these conditions assures, assuming a single failure, that the safety function of the SSIV would be performed consistent with the analyses for the main steam line break accident and mitigation by the auxiliary feedwater system. Therefore, the LCO and the proposed Applicability are consistent with Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii). The NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.

The licensee provided Conditions, Required Actions, and Completion Times for the new TS. The Conditions and Required Actions would be modified by a Note indicating that separate condition entry is allowed for each secondary system flow path. For Condition A, which involves one or more inoperable SSIVs, the associated Required Actions and Completion Times for this condition would be to close or isolate the affected valve within 7 days and to verify the affected valve is closed or isolated once every 7 days thereafter. The Required Action would be modified by a Note stating that closed or isolated automatic SSIVs may be opened or unisolated under administrative controls. When the SSIV is closed or isolated, it is performing its specified safety function. The 7-day Completion Time takes into account the low probability of an event occurring during this period that would require isolation of the plant's secondary side. The licensee considered the 7-day Completion Time reasonable based on operating experience and the amount of flow through each SSIV. Callaway Plant's Final Safety Analysis Report Table 10.4-7 identifies that a check valve performs the isolation function if the chemical injection isolation valve fails to close. In Section 4.4 of its letter dated May 4, 2009, the licensee described that the flow area for the blowdown isolation valves was insignificant because the flow would be through 3lB-inch tubing. The NRC staff determined that the allowance for operation of the valves under administrative controls, the 7-day Completion Time, and the 7-day period for verification was consistent with the safety significance of the valve operation. If the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A is not met, the unit must be placed in a mode in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, Action B would require placing the unit in MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in MODE 4 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are

- 12 reasonable, based on operating experience, for reaching the required unit conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed Conditions, Required Actions, and Completion Times for new TS 3.7.19 are acceptable.

Finally, the licensee proposed SRs for proposed new TS 3.7.19. The proposed SR 3.7.19.1 verifies that the isolation time of each automatic SSIV is within limits when tested pursuant to the Inservice Testing Program. The licensee clarified that this SR would be performed only for automatic SSIVs. This surveillance does not include verifying a closure time for the steam generator chemical addition injection isolation valves because these valves are normally locked closed and only opened under administrative controls. The frequency for this SR is in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program. The proposed SR 3.7.19.2 verifies that each automatic SSIV in the flow path is capable of closure on an actual or simulated actuation signal.

The proposed frequency for this SR is 18 months. This interval is consistent with that of the MSIVs. The proposed SRs are consistent with SRs for other steam isolation valves with greater safety significance. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that proposed SRs are acceptable.

3.3 TS 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation" In its application dated May 4, 2009, the licensee proposed changes to TS 3.3.2 as follows:

  • New Required Action P.2 will state:

REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME P.2 Declare associated steam generator blowdown Immediately and sample line isolation valve(s) inoperable.

  • TS Table 3.3.2-1, current footnote (i), which states "Except when all MSIVs are closed," will be revised to state:

(i) Except when:

1. All MSIVBVs are:

1.a Closed and de-activated, or 1.b Closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or 1.c Isolated by two closed manual valves.

AND

2. All MSLPDIVs are:

2.a Closed and de-activated, or 2.b Closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or 2.c Isolated by two closed manual valves.

  • TS Table 3.3.2-1, Function 4, "Steam Line Isolation," revises current footnote (k) "Not used" to state:

(k) Except when all MSIVs are closed and de-activated.

- 13

  • T8 Table 3.3.2-1, current footnote (I) "Not used" in Function 5, "Turbine Trip and Feedwater Isolation," and Function 6, "Auxiliary Feedwater," will be deleted because the footnote designation is no longer used in the Table.
  • T8 Table 3.3.2-1, new Function 10 and new exception footnote (t) will state:

APPLICABLE MODES OR OTHER SPECIFIED REQUIRED SURVEILLANCE ALLOWABLE FUNCTION CONDITIONS CHANNELS CONDITIONS REQUIREMENTS VALLIE (a)

10. Steam Generator Blowdown and Sample Line Isolation
a. Manual Initiation 2 trains P SR 3.3.2.8 NA (1 per MDAFW pump)

c. Safety Injection Refer to Function 1 (Safety Injection) for initiation functions and requirements.
d. Loss of Offsite 2 trains R SR 3.3.2.7 NA Power (t) Except when all Steam Generator Blowdown and Sample Line Isolation Valves are:
1. Closed and de-activated, or
2. Closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or
3. Isolated by a combination of closed manual valve(s) and closed de-activated automatic valve(s).

- 14

  • The proposed changes to pages 1 and 2 of the TS Table of Contents result from the revisions as discussed above; therefore, the licensee is renumbering the pages for TS 3.3.4 through TS 3.3.9. This is the only change for TS 3.3.4 through TS 3.3.9.

The licensee determined that the addition of the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs to the scope of TS 3.7.2 (along with the clarifications being made to the Applicability of that TS), as well as the incorporation of new TS 3.7.19 for the SSIVs, requires appropriate supporting changes to be made to TS 3.3.2. The TS 3.7.2 changes and the new TS 3.7.19 both require the revision or addition of footnotes associated with TS Table 3.3.2-1. New TS 3.7.19 requires the addition into Table 3.3.2-1 of new Function 10, "Steam Generator Blowdown and Sample Line Isolation," and new Required Action P.2 for an inoperable auxiliary feedwater manual initiation channel.

The proposed footnotes for TS 3.3.2 modify the Applicability of operability requirements for specific engineered safety feature initiation functions. The licensee proposed to modify an existing footnote and add a new footnote. These footnotes would exclude certain actuation instrumentation functions from operability requirements when all valves initiated by the channel are not required to be operable because the valves are closed and deactivated or isolated such that the safety function is satisfied. Use of this type of footnote is consistent with the improved STS in NUREG-1431. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.

The licensee proposed adding the new Function 10 for steam generator blowdown and sample line isolation because the steam generator blowdown isolation valves and the steam generator sample line isolation valves automatically close on a steam generator blowdown system isolation signal. For conditions where one or more channels for manual initiation of this signal are inoperable, the licensee proposed the addition of Required Action P.2, which requires operators to immediately declare the associated steam generator blowdown and sample isolation valves inoperable. The licensee deleted footnote (I) which was not used and proposed new exception footnote (t) to the Table 3.3.2-1. These actions are consistent with the reduced capability to promptly close the affected valves. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.

3.4 NRC Staff Conclusion

Based on the above review of the licensee's analysis and the conservative nature of the changes, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to TSs 3.7.2 and 3.3.2 that add the MSIVBVs and MSLPDIVs to the TS scope are consistent with Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) and, therefore, are acceptable. The staff also concludes that the addition of TS 3.7.19 is conservative, consistent with Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) and, therefore, the associated changes are acceptable.
