TRM Snubbers 3.4.3 Table 3.4.3-1 (Page 1 of 2)

Snubber Inservice Inspection Program A. Visual Inspections Snubbers are categorized as inaccessible or accessible during reactor operation. Each of these categories (inaccessible or accessible) may be inspected independently.

Snubbers shall be visually inspected prior to being removed from service for maintenance or testing. The initial inspection interval for new types of snubbers shall be established at 24 months.

B. Visual Inspection Acceptance Criteria Visual inspections shall verify that (1) the snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability, (2) attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are functional, and (3) fasteners for the attachment of the snubber to the component and to the snubber anchorage are functional.

Snubbers which appear to be inoperable as a result of visual inspection shall be classified as unacceptable, but may be reclassified as acceptable for the purpose of establishing the next visual inspection interval, provided that (1) the cause of the rejection is clearly established and remedied for that particular snubber and for other snubbers, irrespective of type, that may be generically susceptible; and (2) the affected snubber is functionally tested in the as-found condition and determined OPERABLE in accordance with Table 3.4.3-1 Section D.

A review and evaluation shall be performed and documented to justify continued operation with an unacceptable snubber. If continued operation cannot be justified, the snubber shall be declared inoperable and the action requirements shall be met.

C. Functional Tests Functional testing of snubbers shall be conducted at least once per 24 months. Ten percent of the total number of each brand of snubber shall be functionally tested either in place or in a bench test. For each snubber that does not meet the functional test acceptance criteria in Section D below, an additional sample of at least one-half the size of the initial test sample shall be functionally tested until no more failures are found or all snubbers of that brand have been tested. The representative sample selected for functional testing shall include the various configurations, operating environments, and the range of size and capacity of the snubbers.

In addition to the regular sample and specified re-samples, snubbers which failed the previous functional test shall be retested during the next test period if they were reinstalled as a safety-related snubber. If a spare snubber has been installed in place of a failed safety related snubber, it shall be tested during the next period.

If any snubber selected for functional testing either fails to lockup or fails to move (i.e.

frozen in place) the cause shall be evaluated and if caused by manufacturer or design deficiency, all snubbers of the same design subject to the same defect shall be functionally tested.

D. Hydraulic Snubbers Functional Test Acceptance Criteria Hydraulic snubber functional tests shall verify that:

a. Activation (restraining action) is achieved within the specified range of velocity or acceleration in both tension and compression; and

b. Snubber bleed, or release rate, where required, is within the specified range in compression or tension.

E. Engineering Evaluations and Inspections For any snubber(s) found inoperable, an engineering evaluation or inspection shall be performed on the components which are supported by the snubber(s). The purpose of this engineering evaluation or inspection shall be to determine if the components supported by the snubber(s) were adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubber(s) in order to ensure that the supported component remains capable of meeting the designed service.

F. Snubber Service Life Monitoring The installation and maintenance records for each safety related snubber shall be reviewed once every 24 months to verify that the indicated service life will not be exceeded prior to the next scheduled snubber service life review. If the indicated service life will be exceeded, the snubber service life shall be re-evaluated or the snubber shall be replaced or reconditioned to extend its service life beyond the date of the next scheduled service life review. This re-evaluation, replacement, or reconditioning shall be indicated in the records.

The Nominal Trip Setpoint (NTSP) for this Function was established in accordance with the guidance provided in ESM-03.02-APP-I. Calculation CA-08-050, Revision 0 (Ref. 4) discusses determination of the NTSP, using GE-Hitachi methods analogous to those below.

NTSP1 = AL +/- (1.645/2) (SRSS of random terms) +/- bias terms for process variables which decrease (+) or increase (-) to trip NTSP2 = AV +/- (desired margin) (Sigma (LER))

The more conservative of NTSP1 or NTSP2 is the governing value.

The PRNM System is a digital system. PRNM System setpoints are stored as numerical values within the PRNMS digital system database and are not subject to drift. The stored setpoint is the NTSP. There is no As Left tolerance (ALT) / As Found tolerance (AFT) associated with re-setting a digital instrument setpoint during surveillance.

The As Left tolerances (ALT) for these Functions were established in accordance with the guidance provided in ESM-03.02-APP-I: "This is an arbitrary term that is used in the calibration or surveillance procedure. If not defined in procedures, the following equation can be used as a guideline: ALT = 3/2 X VA."

The selection of an ALT is not considered critical in the GE setpoint methodology as long as the established ALT is included when calculating the AV and NTSPs.

Therefore the methodology provides only limited guidance on establishing ALTs. For these Functions, the existing plant ALTs were used in the setpoint calculations. These ALTs are within the ALTs that would be determined with the above guidance.

III.b. ITS Table 3.3.5.1-1, Function 2.j [Am. 161]

The ALT for this Function was established in accordance with the guidance provided in ESM-03.02-APP-I: The following equation was applied to determine the ALT in accordance with CA-04-098, Revision 2 (Ref. 6).

ALT = (VA2 + C12 + C1STD2)1/2 The selection of an ALT is not considered critical in the GE setpoint methodology as long as the established ALT is included when calculating the AVs and NTSPs.

Therefore the methodology provides only limited guidance on establishing ALTs. For this Function, the existing plant ALT was determined to be too restrictive and was increased in order to provide greater ease in the calibration process. The established ALT is within the ALT that would be determined with the above guidance.

The ALTs for these Functions were established in accordance with the guidance provided in ESM-03.02-APP-I: "This is an arbitrary term that is used in the calibration or surveillance procedure. If not defined in procedures, the following equation can be used as a guideline: ALT = 3/2 X VA."

TRM Appendix C Setpoint Methodology and Nominal Trip Setpoints for Selected ITS Functions APPENDIX C The selection of an ALT is not considered critical in the GE setpoint methodology as long as the established ALT is included when calculating the AVs and NTSPs.

Therefore the methodology provides only limited guidance on establishing ALTs. For these Functions, the existing plant ALTs were determined to be too restrictive and were increased in order to provide greater ease in the calibration process. The established ALTs are within the ALTs that would be determined with the above guidance.

The AFT for these Functions were established in accordance with the guidance provided in ESM-03.02-APP-I: "As Found Tolerances (AFT) should be determined for each device in the instrument channel. The AFT should account for all effects measurable during calibration. Two suggested ways for determining the AFT are:

AFT1 = (3/2) (VA2 + VD2 + DTE2)1/2; or AFT2 = (VA2 + VD2 + DTE2 + CL2)1/2.

When available, As Left/As Found trending data could be used to determine the AFT limits. The AFT for each device must bound the ALT, but must not exceed the AV.

The AFT is normally an indication of expected instrument performance and not an indication of AV violation."

The selection of an AFT is not included in the GE setpoint methodology as the instrument is considered operational as long as the measured as-found value is more conservative than the AV. The above equations are included in the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) methodology to provide an indication of expected instrument performance. The first equation provides an approximate 3-sigma AFT (as-found measurement expected to be within the AFT 99% of the time). The second equation provides an approximate 2-sigma AFT (as-found measurement expected to be within the AFT 95% of the time).

AFTs for these Functions were established using the AFT1 equation.

TLCO Applicability B 3.0 3.0 TECHNICAL LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (TLCO) APPLICABILITY BASES TLCOs TLCO 3.0.1 through TLCO 3.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to all TLCOs in Sections 3.1 through 3.10 and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.

TLCO 3.0.1 TLCO 3.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual Requirement as the requirement for when the TLCO is required to be met (i.e., when the unit is in the MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability statement of each Requirement).

TLCO 3.0.2 TLCO 3.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet a TLCO, the associated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each Required Action for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that an ACTIONS Condition is entered. The Required Actions establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when the requirements of a TLCO are not met. This Requirement establishes that:

a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitute compliance with a Requirement; and

b. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when a TLCO is met within the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.

There are two basic types of Required Actions. The first type of Required Action specifies a time limit in which the TLCO must be met. This time limit is the Completion Time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or to restore variables to within specified limits. If this type of Required Action is not completed within the specified Completion Time, a shutdown may be required to place the unit in a MODE or condition in which the Requirement is not applicable.

(Whether stated as a Required Action or not, correction of the entered Condition is an action that may always be considered upon entering ACTIONS.) The second type of Required Action specifies the remedial measures that permit continued operation of the unit that is not further restricted by the Completion Time. In this case, compliance with the Required Actions provides an acceptable justification for continued operation.

Completing the Required Actions is not required when a TLCO is met or is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Requirement.

Monticello B 3.0-1 Revision 0

TLCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES TLCO 3.0.2 (continued)

The nature of some Required Actions of some Conditions necessitates that, once the Condition is entered, the Required Actions must be completed even though the associated Conditions no longer exist. The individual TLCOs ACTIONS specify the Required Actions where this is the case. An example of this is in TLCO 3.4.3, "Snubbers."

The Completion Times of the Required Actions are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service intentionally. The reasons for intentionally relying on the ACTIONS include, but are not limited to, performance of TSRs, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or investigation of operational problems. Entering ACTIONS for these reasons must be done in a manner that does not compromise safety. Individual Requirements may specify a time limit for performing a TSR when equipment is removed from service or bypassed for testing. In this case, the Completion Times of the Required Actions are applicable when this time limit expires, if the equipment remains removed from service or bypassed.

When a change in MODE or other specified condition is required to comply with Required Actions, the unit may enter a MODE or other specified condition in which another Requirement becomes applicable. In this case, the Completion Times of the associated Required Actions would apply from the point in time that the new Requirement becomes applicable and the ACTIONS Condition(s) are entered.

TLCO 3.0.3 TLCO 3.0.3 establishes the actions that must be implemented when a TLCO is not met and:

a. An associated Required Action and Completion Time is not met and no other Condition applies; or

b. The condition of the unit is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTIONS. This means that no combination of Conditions stated in the ACTIONS can be made that exactly corresponds to the actual condition of the unit. Sometimes, possible combinations of Conditions are such that entering TLCO 3.0.3 is warranted; in such cases, the ACTIONS specifically state a Condition corresponding to such combinations and also that TLCO 3.0.3 be entered immediately.

This Requirement delineates the time limits for evaluating impacts on safety function and if the plant is in an unanalyzed condition, as well as time limits for establishing compensatory actions when operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation as defined by the TLCO and its ACTIONS.

Monticello B 3.0-2 Revision 0

TLCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES TLCO 3.0.3 (continued)

Upon entering TLCO 3.0.3, 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months is allowed to initiate action to implement appropriate compensatory actions, to verify the unit is not in an unanalyzed condition, and to verify that a required safety function is not compromised. Within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months , the Operation Managers approval of the compensatory actions and the plan for exiting TLCO 3.0.3 must be obtained. The use and interpretation of specific times to complete the actions of TLCO 3.0.3 are consistent with the discussion of Section 1.3, "Completion Times."

When determining if the plant is in an unanalyzed condition and when determining if a required safety function is not compromised by the inoperabilities, Technical Specification requirements need to be considered.

The actions required in accordance with TLCO 3.0.3 may be terminated and TLCO 3.0.3 exited if any of the following occurs:

a. The TLCO is now met;

b. A Condition exists for which the Required Actions have now been performed; or

c. ACTIONS exist that do not have expired Completion Times.

These Completion Times are applicable from the point in time that the Condition is initially entered and not from the time TLCO 3.0.3 is exited.

Exceptions to TLCO 3.0.3 are addressed in the individual Requirements.

TLCO 3.0.4 TLCO 3.0.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when a TLCO is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (i.e., the Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the TLCO would not be met, in accordance with TLCO 3.0.4.a, TLCO 3.0.4.b, or TLCO 3.0.4.c.

TLCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TLCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without Monticello B 3.0-3 Revision 0

TLCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES TLCO 3.0.4 (continued) regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change.

Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Required Actions.

TLCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TLCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate.

The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program, procedures, and criteria in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment, for the purposes of TLCO 3.0.4.b, must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope. The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk, increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the proposed MODE change is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the TLCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the Applicability.

TLCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single, or multiple systems and components unavailable. NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.

Monticello B 3.0-4 Revision 0

TLCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES TLCO 3.0.4 (continued)

The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The TLCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented. The TLCOs allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE 1 for the duration of the Completion Time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the TLCO, the use of the TLCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable, as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above.

TLCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TLCO not met based on a Note in the Requirement which states TLCO 3.0.4.c is applicable. These specific allowances permit 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 and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a Requirement. The risk assessments performed to justify the use of TLCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, TLCO 3.0.4.c is typically applied to Requirements which describe values and parameters.

The provisions of this Requirement should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

TLCO 3.0.5 TLCO 3.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared inoperable to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Requirement is to provide an exception to TLCO 3.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required Action(s)) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:

a. The OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service; or

b. The OPERABILITY of other equipment.

The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment is returned to service in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate OPERABILITY. This Requirement does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.

Monticello B 3.0-5 Revision 0

TSR Applicability B 3.0 B 3.0 TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (TSR) APPLICABILITY BASES TSRs TSR 3.0.1 through TSR 3.0.4 establish the general requirements applicable to all TSRs in Sections 3.1 through 3.10 and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.

TSR 3.0.1 TSR 3.0.1 establishes the requirement that TSRs must be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which the requirements of the TLCOs apply, unless otherwise specified in the individual TSRs. This TSR is to ensure that TSRs are performed to verify the OPERABILITY of systems and components, and that variables are within specified limits. Failure to meet a TSR within the specified Frequency, in accordance with TSR 3.0.2, constitutes a failure to meet a TLCO.

Systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when the associated TSRs have been met. Nothing in this TSR, however, is to be construed as implying that systems or components are OPERABLE when:

a. The systems or components are known to be inoperable, although still meeting the TSRs; or

b. The requirements of the TSR(s) are known not to be met between required TSR performances.

TSRs do not have to be performed when the unit is in a MODE or other specified condition for which the requirements of the associated TLCO are not applicable, unless otherwise specified.

Unplanned events may satisfy the requirements (including applicable acceptance criteria) for a given TSR. In this case, the unplanned event may be credited as fulfilling the performance of the TSR.

TSRs, including TSRs invoked by Required Actions, do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment because the ACTIONS define the remedial measures that apply. TSRs have to be met and performed in accordance with TSR 3.0.2, prior to returning equipment to OPERABLE status.

Upon completion of maintenance, appropriate post maintenance testing is required to declare equipment OPERABLE. This includes ensuring applicable TSRs are not failed and their most recent performance is in accordance with TSR 3.0.2. Post maintenance testing may not be possible in the current MODE or other specified conditions in the Applicability due to the necessary unit parameters not having been established. In these situations, the equipment may be considered Monticello B 3.0-6 Revision 0

TSR Applicability B 3.0 BASES TSR 3.0.1 (continued)

OPERABLE provided testing has been satisfactorily completed to the extent possible and the equipment is not otherwise believed to be incapable of performing its function. This will allow operation to proceed to a MODE or other specified condition where other necessary post maintenance testing can be completed.

TSR 3.0.2 TSR 3.0.2 establishes the requirements for meeting the specified Frequency for TSRs and any Required Action with a Completion Time that requires the periodic performance of the Required Action on a once per . . . interval.

TSR 3.0.2 permits a 25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency. This extension facilitates TSR scheduling and considers plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the TSR (e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing TSR or maintenance activities).

The 25% extension does not significantly degrade the reliability that results from performing the TSR at its specified Frequency. This is based on the recognition that the most probable result of any particular TSR being performed is the verification of conformance with the TSRs. The exception to TSR 3.0.2 are those TSRs for which the 25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency does not apply. These exceptions are stated in the individual TSRs. The requirements of regulations take precedence over the TRM. The TRM cannot in and of itself extend a test interval specified in the regulations.

As stated in TSR 3.0.2, the 25% extension also does not apply to the initial portion of a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a "once per . . ." basis. The 25% extension applies to each performance after the initial performance. The initial performance of the Required Action, whether it is a particular TSR or some other remedial action, is considered a single action with a single Completion Time. One reason for not allowing the 25% extension to this Completion Time is that such an action usually verifies that no loss of function has occurred by checking the status of redundant or diverse components or accomplishes the function of the inoperable equipment in an alternative manner.

The provisions of TSR 3.0.2 are not intended to be used repeatedly merely as an operational convenience to extend TSR intervals (other than those consistent with refueling intervals) or periodic Completion Time intervals beyond those specified.

Monticello B 3.0-7 Revision 0

TSR Applicability B 3.0 BASES TSR 3.0.3 TSR 3.0.3 establishes the flexibility to defer declaring affected equipment inoperable or an affected variable outside the specified limits when a TSR has not been completed within the specified Frequency. A delay period of up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is greater, applies from the point in time it is discovered that the TSR has not been performed in accordance with TSR 3.0.2, and not at the time that the specified frequency was not met.

This delay period provides adequate time to complete TSRs that have been missed. This delay period permits the completion of a TSR before complying with Required Actions or other remedial measures that might preclude completion of the TSR.

The basis for this delay period includes consideration of unit conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to perform the TSR, the safety significance of the delay in completing the required TSR, and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular TSR being performed is the verification of conformance with the requirements.

When a TSR with a Frequency based not on time intervals, but upon specified unit conditions or operational situations (e.g., prior to entering MODE 1 after each fueling loading), is discovered not to have been performed when specified, TSR 3.0.3 allows the full delay period of up to the specified frequency to perform the TSR. However, since there is not a time interval specified, the missed TSR should be performed at the first reasonable opportunity.

TSR 3.0.3 provides a time limit for and allowances for, the performance of, TSRs that become applicable as a consequence of MODE changes imposed by Required Actions.

Failure to comply with specified Frequencies for TSRs is expected to be an infrequent occurrence. Use of the delay period established by TSR 3.0.3 is a flexibility which is not intended to be used as an operational convenience to extend TSR intervals. While up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or the limit of the specified Frequency is provided to perform the missed TSR, it is expected that the missed TSR will be performed at the first reasonable opportunity. The determination of the first reasonable opportunity should include consideration of the impact on unit risk (from delaying the TSR as well as any unit configuration changes required or shutting the unit down to perform the TSR) and impact on any analysis assumptions, in addition to unit conditions, planning, availability of personnel, and the time required to perform the TSR. This risk impact should be managed through the program in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and its implementation guidance Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." This Regulatory Guide addresses Monticello B 3.0-8 Revision 0

TSR Applicability B 3.0 BASES TSR 3.0.3 (continued) consideration of temporary and aggregate risk impacts, determination of risk management action thresholds, and risk management action up to and including plant shutdown. The missed TSR should be treated as an emergent condition as discussed in the Regulatory Guide. The risk evaluation may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended methods. The degree of depth and rigor of the evaluation should be commensurate with the importance of the component. Missed TSRs for important components should be analyzed quantitatively. If the results of the risk evaluation determine the risk increase is significant this evaluation should be used to determine the safest course of action. All missed TSRs will be placed in the licensees Corrective Action Program.

If a TSR is not completed within the allowed delay period, then the equipment is considered inoperable or the variable then is considered outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable TLCO Conditions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period. If a TSR is failed within the delay period, then the equipment is inoperable, or the variable is outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable TLCO Conditions begin immediately upon the failure of the TSR.

Completion of the TSR within the delay period allowed by this TSR, or within the Completion Time of the ACTIONS, restores compliance with TSR 3.0.1.

TSR 3.0.4 TSR 3.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable TSRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

This TSR ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these system and components ensure safe operation of the unit. The provisions of this TSR should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified Condition in the Applicability when a TLCO is not met due to a TSR not being met in accordance with TLCO 3.0.4. However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet a TSR will not result in TSR 3.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable is inoperable Monticello B 3.0-9 Revision 0

TSR Applicability B 3.0 BASES TSR 3.0.4 (continued) or outside its specified limits, the associated TSR(s) are not required to be performed, per TSR 3.0.1, which states that TSRs do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment. When equipment is inoperable, TSR 3.0.4 does not apply to the associated TSR(s) since the requirement for the TSR(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the TSRs within the specified Frequency does not result in a TSR 3.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the TLCO is not met in this instance, TLCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. TRS 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency, provided the requirement to declare the TLCO not met has been delayed in accordance with TRS 3.0.3.

The provisions of TSR 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of TSR 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, and MODE 3 to MODE 4.

The precise requirements for performance of TSRs are specified such that exceptions to TSR 3.0.4 are not necessary. The specific time frames and conditions necessary for meeting the TSRs are specified in the Frequency, in the TSR, or both. This allows performance of TSRs when the prerequisite condition(s) specified in a TSR procedure require entry into the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated TLCO prior to the performance or completion of a TSR. A TSR that could not be performed until after entering the TLCO Applicability would have its Frequency specified such that it is not "due" until the specific conditions needed are met. Alternately, the TSR may be stated in the form of a Note as not required (to be met or performed) until a particular event, condition, or time has been reached. Further discussion of the specific formats of TSRs annotation is found in Section 1.4, "Frequency."

Turbine Condenser Vacuum - Low Instrumentation B 3.3.1.1 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.1.1 Turbine Condenser Vacuum - Low Instrumentation BASES Loss of condenser vacuum occurs when the condenser can no longer handle the heat input.

Loss of condenser vacuum initiates a closure of the turbine stop valves and turbine bypass valves which eliminates the heat input to the condenser. Closure of the turbine stop and bypass valves causes a pressure transient, neutron flux rise, and an increase in surface heat flux. The condenser low vacuum scram is a back-up to the stop valve closure scram and causes a scram before the stop valves are closed and thus the resulting transient is less severe. Scram occurs at 21.5" Hg vacuum, stop valve closure occurs at 20" Hg vacuum, and bypass closure at 7" Hg vacuum.

The RPS is comprised of two independent trip system (A and B) with three logic channels in each trip system (logic channels A1, A2, and A3, B1, B2, and B3) as described in USAR, Section 7.6.1.2.5. The automatic trip logic of trip system A are logic channels A1 and A2; the automatic trip logic of trip system B are logic channels B1 and B2. The outputs of the automatic logic channels in a trip system are combined in a one-out-of-two logic so that either channel can trip the associated trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram.

This logic arrangement is referred to as a one-out-of-two taken twice logic. For the Turbine Condenser Vacuum - Low Function, there are a total of two automatic channels per trip system with the same logic arrangement.

The Turbine Condenser Vacuum - Low Function channels are passive type device.

Although the operator will set the set points within the trip settings specified, the actual values of the various set points can differ appreciably from the value the operator is attempting to set. For power rerate, GE setpoint methodology provided in NEDC 31336, General Electric Setpoint Methodology, is used in establishing setpoints. The deviations could be caused by inherent instrument error, operator setting error, drift of the set point, etc. Therefore, such deviations have been accounted for in the various transient analyses.

If an unsafe failure is detected during surveillance testing, it is desirable to determine as soon as possible if other failures of a similar type have occurred and whether the particular function involved is still operable or capable of meeting the single failure criterion. To meet the requirements of the TRM, it is necessary that all instrument channels in one trip system be operable to permit testing in the other trip system. Thus, when failures are detected in the first trip system tested, they would have to be repaired before testing of the other system could begin. In the majority of cases, repairs or replacement can be accomplished quickly. If repair or replacement cannot be completed in a reasonable time, operation could continue with one tripped trip system until the surveillance testing deadline.

The ability to bypass one instrument channel when necessary to complete surveillance testing will preclude continued operation with scram functions which may be either unable to meet the single failure criterion or completely inoperable. It also eliminates the need for an unnecessary shutdown if the remaining channels are found to be operable. The conditions under which the bypass is permitted require an immediate determination that the particular function is Operable.

Monticello B 3.3.1.1-1 Revision 0

Turbine Condenser Vacuum - Low Instrumentation B 3.3.1.1 BASES However, during the time a bypass is applied, the function will not meet the single failure criterion; therefore, it is prudent to limit the time the bypass is in effect by requiring that surveillance testing proceed on a continuous basis and that the bypass be removed as soon as testing is completed.

The turbine condenser low vacuum instrumentation will be functionally tested and calibrated at regularly scheduled intervals. Specific surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been determined in accordance with NEDO-30851P, Technical Specification Improvement Analysis for BWR Reactor Protection System, as approved by the NRC and documented in the SER dated July 15, 1987 (letter to T A Pickens from A Thadani).

Experience with passive type instruments indicates that a yearly calibration is adequate. Where possible, however, quarterly calibration is performed. For those devices which employ amplifiers etc., drift specifications call for drift to be less than 0.5%/month; i.e., in the period of a month a drift of 0.5% would occur and thus provide for adequate margin.

Monticello B 3.3.1.1-2 Revision 0

TRM Control Rod Block Instrumentation B 3.3.2.1 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.2.1 Control Rod Block Instrumentation BASES The control rod block functions are provided to prevent excessive control rod withdrawal so that MCPR remains above the Safety Limit (Technical Specification 2.1.1). The trip logic for this function is 1 out of n; e.g., any trip on one of the four APRM's, eight IRM's, four SRM's, or four scram discharge volume water level channels will result in a rod block. For each Control Rod Block Function, there are two trip systems. The scram discharge volume water level instrumentation includes two sensors on each of the two scram discharge volumes. This assures that no control rod is withdrawn unless enough capacity is available in either scram discharge volume to accommodate a scram. The setting is selected to initiate a rod block no later than the scram that is initiated on scram discharge volume high water level.

The minimum instrument channel requirements for the IRM may be reduced by one for a short period of time to allow for maintenance, testing, or calibration. See Section 7.3 FSAR.

The APRM Simulated Thermal Power - High rod block (Ref. 3) is referenced to flow and prevents operation significantly above the licensing basis power level especially during operation at reduced flow. For operation at low power (i.e., MODE 2), the APRM Neutron Flux -

High (Setdown) Function (Ref. 3) is capable of generating a rod block to prevent fuel damage resulting from abnormal operating transients in this power range. The APRMs provides gross core protection; i.e., limits the gross core power increase from withdrawal of control rods in the normal withdrawal sequence. The operator will set the APRM rod block trip settings no greater than that stated in Table 3.3.2.1-1. However, the actual setpoint can be as much as 3% greater than that stated in Table 3.3.2.1-1 for recirculation driving flows less than 50% of design and 2%

greater than that shown for recirculation driving flows greater than 50% of design due to the deviations that could be caused by inherent instrument error, operator setting error, drift of the setpoint, etc.

The IRM rod block function provides local as well as gross core protection. The scaling arrangement is such that trip setting is less than a factor of 10 above the indicated level.

Analysis of the worst case accident results in rod block action before MCPR approaches the Safety Limit (Technical Specification 2.1.1).

A downscale indication of an IRM is an indication the instrument has failed or the instrument is not sensitive enough. In either case the instrument will not respond to changes in control rod motion and thus control rod motion is prevented. The downscale IRM rod block assures that there will be proper overlap between the neutron monitoring systems and thus, that adequate coverage is provided for all ranges of reactor operation. The downscale IRM rod block is set at 3/125 of full scale.

Although the operator will set the setpoints within the trip settings specified in Table 3.3.2.1-1, the actual values of the various set points can differ appreciably from the value the operator is attempting to set. The deviations could be caused by inherent instrument error, operator setting error, drift of the set point, etc. Therefore, these deviations have been accounted for in the various transient analyses.

The 184 day CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST and 24 month CHANNEL CALIBRATION surveillance frequencies for the APRM Simulated Thermal Power - High, APRM Downscale, and APRM Neutron Flux - High (Setdown) rod block functions are consistent with the NUMAC PRNMS design assumptions (Refs. 1 and 2). Although this instrumentation is not generally considered to be as important to plant safety as the Reactor Protection System, the same design reliability goals are applied. Where applicable, sensor checks are specified on a once/12 hours basis.

ATWS Alternate Rod Injection Instrumentation B 3.3.4.1 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.4.1 Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) Alternate Rod Injection Instrumentation BASES The ATWS Alternate Rod Injection consists of two independent trip systems, with two channels of Reactor Vessel Steam Dome Pressure - High and two channels of Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low in each trip system. Each ATWS Alternate Rod Injection trip system is a two-out-of-two logic for each Function. Thus, either two Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low or two Reactor Vessel Steam Dome Pressure - High signals are needed to trip a trip system. The outputs of the channels in a trip system are combined in a logic so that either trip system will cause all control rods to be inserted into the core. Each Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low output must remain below the setpoint for approximately 7 seconds for the channel output to provide an actuation signal to the associated trip system. Two solenoid valves are installed in the scram air header upstream of the hydraulic control units. Each of the two trip systems energizes a valve to vent the header and causes rod insertion. This greatly reduces the long term consequences of an ATWS event.

Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High Instrumentation B 3.3.7.1 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.7.1 Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High Instrumentation BASES The Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitors measure radiation levels in the intake ducting of the control room envelope. In the event of increased radiation in the outside environment, the radiation monitors will automatically initiate the Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF)

System to provide protection for Control Room operators.

The Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitor is not credited in any safety analysis. The monitor was removed from Tech Spec 3.3.7.1 by License Amendment 148, which also added four new signals to Tech Spec 3.3.7.1 (Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low, Drywell Pressure - High, Reactor Building Ventilation Exhaust Radiation - High, and Refueling Floor Radiation - High). These new signals are credited in the DBA safety analyses for initiation of the CREF System.

The Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitor is maintained as an additional CREFS initiation signal for defense-in-depth. Inclusion in the Technical Requirements Manual satisfies NRC Commitment M06030A.

The CREF System has two trip systems. One trip system isolates the control room boundary and initiates one CREF subsystem while the other trip system also isolates the control room boundary and initiates the other CREF subsystem. Each trip system receives input from one Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High signal, as well as the signals discussed above. The Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High Function is arranged in a one-out-of-one logic. The channels include electronic equipment (e.g., relays) that compares measured input signals with pre-established setpoints. When the setpoint is exceeded, the channel output relay actuates, which then outputs a CREF System initiation signal to the initiation logic.

The Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High Function consists of two independent monitors.

Two channels of Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High are available and are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that no single instrument failure can preclude CREF System initiation by the radiation monitors. Each channel must have its setpoint within the specified Allowable Value of SR 3.3.7.1.3. The Allowable Value for the Control Room Air Intake Radiation - High Function is set just above background to ensure that the control room operators are protected from increased radiation exposure.

The actual setpoint is calibrated consistent with applicable setpoint methodology assumptions.

Nominal trip setpoints are specified in plant procedures. The nominal setpoints are selected to ensure that the setpoints do not exceed the Allowable Value between successive CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS. Operation with a trip setpoint less conservative than the nominal trip setpoint, but within its Allowable Value, is acceptable. A channel is inoperable if its actual trip setpoint is not within its required Allowable Value.

The Surveillances are modified by a Note to indicate that when a 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 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months , provided the associated Function maintains CREF System initiation capability. Upon completion of the Surveillance, or expiration of the 8 hour9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months allowance, the channel must be returned to OPERABLE status or the applicable Condition entered and Required Actions taken. This Note is based on the time required to perform the channel Surveillance.

Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation has not occurred. The Frequency is based upon operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.

A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required channel to ensure that the channel will perform the intended function. The Frequency of 31 days is based on the known reliability of the equipment and the two channel redundancy available.

A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop and the sensor. This test verifies 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.

The Frequency is based upon operating experience, which has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency.

RCS Chemistry B 3.4.1 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)

B 3.4.1 RCS Chemistry BASES Materials in the primary system are primarily 304 stainless steel and zircaloy. The reactor water chemistry limits are established to prevent damage to these materials. The limit placed on chloride concentration is to prevent stress corrosion cracking of the stainless steel.

When conductivity is in its proper normal range (approximately 10 µmho/cm during reactor startup and 5 µmho/cm during power operation), pH and chloride and other impurities affecting conductivity must also be within their normal range. When and if conductivity becomes abnormal, then chloride measurements are made to determine whether or not they are also out of their normal operating values. This would not necessarily be the case. Conductivity could be high due to the presence of a neutral salt, e.g., Na2SO4, which would not have an effect on pH or chloride. In such a case, high conductivity alone is not a cause for shutdown. In some types of water-cooled reactors, conductivities are in fact high due to purposeful addition of additives.

In the case of BWRs, however, no additives are used and where neutral pH is maintained, conductivity provides a very good measure of the quality of the reactor water. Significant changes therein provide the operator with a warning mechanism so he can investigate and remedy the condition causing the change before limiting conditions, with respect to variables affecting the boundaries of the reactor coolant, are exceeded. Methods available to the operator for correcting the off-standard condition include operation of the reactor cleanup system reducing the input of impurities and placing the reactor in the cold shutdown condition.

The major benefit of cold shutdown is to reduce the temperature dependent corrosion rates and provide time for the cleanup system to reestablish the purity of the reactor coolant. During startup periods, which are in the category of less than 100,000 pounds per hour, conductivity may exceed 5 µmho/cm because of the initial evolution of gases and the initial addition of dissolved metals. During this period of time when the conductivity exceeds 5 µmho (other than short term spikes), samples will be taken to assure the chloride concentration is less than 0.1 ppm.

The conductivity of the reactor coolant is continuously monitored. The samples of the coolant which are taken every 96 hours0.00111 days 0.0267 hours 1.587302e-4 weeks 3.6528e-5 months will serve as a reference for calibration of these monitors and is considered adequate to assure accurate readings of the monitors. If conductivity is within its normal range, chlorides and other impurities will also be within their normal ranges. The reactor coolant samples will also be used to determine the chlorides. Therefore, the sampling frequency is considered adequate to detect long-term changes in the chloride ion content.

Provision has been made to detect failure of the bellows monitoring system. Testing of this system once per 24 months provides assurance of bellows integrity.

TRM Snubbers B 3.4.3 B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)

B 3.4.3 Snubbers BASES BACKGROUND Component standard supports, are those metal supports which are designed to transmit loads from the pressure-retaining boundary of the component to the building structure. Although classified as component standard supports, snubbers require special consideration due to their unique function. Snubbers are designed to provide no transmission of force during normal plant operations, but function as a rigid support when subjected to dynamic transient loadings. Therefore, snubbers are chosen in lieu of rigid supports where restricting thermal growth during normal operation would induce excessive stresses in the piping nozzles or other equipment. The location and size of the snubbers are determined by stress analysis. Depending on the design classification of the particular piping, different combinations of load conditions are established. These conditions combine loading during normal operation, seismic loading and loading due to plant accidents/transients. The actual loading included in each of the conditions, depends on the design classification of the piping.

The calculated stresses in the piping and other equipment, for each of the conditions, must be in conformance with established design limits.

All safety related snubbers are required to be OPERABLE whenever the supported system is required to be OPERABLE. The Technical Requirements for Operation is based on ensuring that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. Snubbers excluded from this inspection program are those installed on nonsafety related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system on which they are installed would have no adverse effect on any safety related system.

APPLICABLE The specific design and service loading combinations used for the DESIGN BASES design of supports in safety-related systems provides assurance that, in the event of an earthquake or other service loadings due to postulated events or system operating transients, the resulting combined stresses imposed on system components will not exceed allowable stress and strain limits for the materials of construction. Limiting stresses under such loading combinations provides a conservative basis for the design of support components to withstand the most adverse combination of loading events without loss of structural integrity or supported component OPERABILITY.

Monticello B 3.4.3-1 Revision No. 3

TRM Snubbers B 3.4.3 BASES APPLICABLE DESIGN BASES (continued)

Piping systems at Monticello are designed to three basic allowable limits depending on the probability of the applied loading. These limits are normal, upset, and faulted. Normal loads are those that piping systems are expected to be subject to during day-to-day operation, such as weight, pressure, and normal thermal expansion. Upset loads are those loads that are considered occasional or infrequent loads, that the piping system is expected to withstand during its service lifetime without requiring repair, such as water hammer, relief valve discharge, or operational basis earthquake (OBE). Faulted loads are those associated with the most extreme and lowest probability events such as loss of coolant accidents, and safe shutdown earthquake (SSE). Faulted limits have been established to allow significant damage and deformation to the piping and pipe support without a loss of intended safety function.

TLCO Snubbers are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System and all other safety-related systems is maintained during, and following, a seismic event or other event initiating dynamic loads. All safety-related snubbers are required snubbers for this TLCO. Additionally, snubbers installed on non-safety-related systems are required snubbers for this TLCO if their failure, or failure of the system on which they are installed, would have an adverse effect on any safety-related system.

Individual snubbers may be removed from service for functional testing within the limits established herein without violating these requirements, although the Required Action and Completion Time still applies.

APPLICABILITY Each safety related snubber and nonsafety related snubber (whose failure, or failure of the associated system(s), would adversely affect any safety related system) shall be OPERABLE whenever the supported system is required to be OPERABLE.

In MODES 1, 2, and 3, this TLCO applies since safety related systems supported by snubbers are required to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident to protect the reactor core and prevent the release of radioactive material to the environment. In MODES 4 and 5, only selected safety-related systems are necessary to ensure adequate coolant inventory and sufficient heat removal capability, or to mitigate the effects of a fuel handling accident. Therefore, only snubbers on systems required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 are required to be OPERABLE in these MODES. In any of these MODES, any nonsafety related snubbers whose failure, or failure of the associated system(s),

would adversely affect any safety related system shall be OPERABLE.

Monticello B 3.4.3-2 Revision No. 3

TRM Snubbers B 3.4.3 BASES ACTIONS The ACTIONS Table is modified by a Note indicating that a separate Condition entry is allowed for each snubber. This is acceptable, since the Required Actions for each Condition provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable snubber. Complying with the Required Actions may allow for continued operation, and subsequent inoperable snubbers are governed by subsequent Condition entry and application of associated Required Actions.

A.1 With one or more required snubbers inoperable, the ability of the affected piping system(s) to withstand dynamic loadings due to seismic events or system operating conditions is degraded. Required Action A.1 and the associated Completion Time requires LCO 3.0.8 to be entered immediately when one or more required snubbers are inoperable. This is acceptable because LCO 3.0.8 establishes the conditions under which systems are considered to remain capable of performing their intended safety function when associated snubbers are not capable of providing their associated support function(s). LCO 3.0.8 states that the supported system is not considered to be inoperable solely due to one or more snubbers not capable of performing their associated support function(s).

This is appropriate because a limited length of time is allowed for maintenance, testing, or repair of one or more snubbers not capable of performing their associated support function(s).

SURVEILLANCE TSR 3.4.3.1 REQUIREMENTS In-service inspection of each required snubber is required to be performed in accordance with the Snubber Inservice Inspection Program.

The Frequency of this SR is in accordance with the Snubber Inservice Inspection Program.

SNUBBER Visual inspection and functional testing frequencies for snubbers are INSERVICE based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection to INSPECTION systems.

PROGRAM Visual inspections will be performed at the time snubbers are removed for maintenance or testing. The visual inspection frequency basis is described in the 1995 ASME Operation and Maintenance (OM) Code, 1996 Addenda, Subsection ISTD (Reference 1) as modified by the incorporation of ASME OM Code Case OMN-13 (Reference 2), which has been approved by the NRC (Reference 3). Monticello has reviewed and meets all of the criteria to adopt Code Case OMN-13 allowing visual inspections to be performed at the time the snubber is removed for maintenance and testing.

Monticello B 3.4.3-3 Revision No. 3

TRM Snubbers B 3.4.3 BASES SNUBBER When the snubber is classified as unacceptable during visual in-service INSERVICE examination, the cause of the rejection will be clearly established and INSPECTION remedied for that snubber and for any other snubbers that may be PROGRAM generically susceptible and verified acceptable by functional testing.

(continued) Acceptable results from functional testing will exempt the snubber from being counted as inoperable.

The basis for functional testing of snubbers is described in 1995 ASME OM Code, 1996 Addenda, Subsection ISTD (Reference 1). To provide assurance of snubber functional reliability, a representative sample of 10% of the installed snubbers will be functionally tested during plant shutdowns at 24 month intervals. Observed failures of these sample snubbers will require functional testing of additional units. A sample size of one-half of the initial test sample is described in Paragraph 7.9.2 of Subsection ISTD of the ASME OM Code (Reference 1), which has been approved by the NRC (Reference 3).

When a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation or inspection is performed, in addition to the determination of the snubber mode of failure, in order to determine if any safety-related component or system has been adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubber.

The evaluation or inspection will determine whether or not the snubber mode of failure has imparted a significant effect or degradation on the supported component or system.

The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and through consideration of the snubber service conditions and associated installation and maintenance records (newly installed snubber, seal replacement, spring replacement, in high radiation, in high temperature area, etc.). The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life.

All safety-related snubbers installed at Monticello are hydraulic snubbers.

No mechanical snubbers are used on safety-related systems at Monticello. If installed in the future, appropriate TRM changes must be made prior to installation.

TRM CS System Nozzle Differential Pressure Instrumentation B 3.5.2 3.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECCS) AND REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING SYSTEM (RCIC)

B 3.5.2 Core Spray (CS) System Nozzle Differential Pressure Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND Two independent Core Spray subsystems are provided. Each subsystem consists of a 100 percent-capacity centrifugal pump driven by an electric motor, a spray sparger in the reactor vessel above the core, piping and valves to convey water from the suppression pool to the sparger, and the associated controls and instrumentation.

The two 100-percent capacity core spray lines separately enter the reactor vessel through two core spray nozzles that are 180 degrees apart. Each internal pipe then divides into a semicircular header with a downcomer at each end, which enters through the shroud near the top.

A semicircular sparger is attached to each of the four outlets to make two practically complete circles, one above the other. Short elbow nozzles are spaced around the spargers to spray the water radially onto the tops of the fuel assemblies.

A detection system is also provided to continuously confirm the integrity of the core spray piping between the inside of the reactor vessel and the core shroud. A differential pressure switch measures the pressure difference between the bottom of the core and the inside of the core spray sparger pipe just outside the reactor vessel. If the core spray sparger piping is sound, this pressure difference will be the pressure drop across the core. If integrity is lost, this pressure drop will include the core pressure drop and the steam separator pressure drop. An increase in the normal pressure drop (decrease in indicated differential pressure to the setpoint) initiates an alarm in the control room.

It should be noted that the instrument is in alarm during cold moderator conditions due to the instrument leg variations in densities. The alarm should clear during the increase to rated temperature and pressure.

During operation at rated temperature and pressure, the alarm should remain clear.

APPLICABLE The safety function of the Core Spray System is to maintain the fuel SAFETY ANALYSIS cladding temperature to 2200°F during times the other ECCS systems may be incapable of maintaining vessel water inventory above the top of active fuel (TAF). The method of cooling requires that the water spray directly on top of the fuel assemblies rather than trying to maintain water above TAF. If the Core Spray sparger is broken, this will not be accomplished and the subsystem will not meet its safety design function.

TLCO 3.5.2 The Core Spray sparger break detection alarm, within the allowable value at rated temperature and pressure, provides indication of a potential break in the associated subsystem's sparger. A broken sparger will cause the subsystem to be inoperable.

APPLICABILITY The OPERABILITY requirement is consistent with Technical Specification requirements for the times when the affected subsystem is required to be OPERABLE and the instrument is indicating meaningful readings.

ACTIONS A.1 When one or both Core Spray System nozzle differential pressure channels are inoperable, it is required that actions be initiated immediately to restore the channel(s) to OPERABLE status.

TECHNICAL The Technical Surveillances are modified by a Note to indicate that SURVEILLANCE when a channel is placed in an inoperable status solely for REQUIREMENTS performance of required Technical Surveillances, entry into associated Conditions and Required Actions may be delayed for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months .

Upon completion of the Technical Surveillance, or expiration of the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months 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. 2) assumption that 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months is the average time required to perform channel surveillance.

That analysis demonstrated that the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months testing allowance does not significantly reduce the probability that the capability for monitoring the integrity of the Core Spray spargers will be available when necessary.

TSR 3.5.2.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation has not occurred. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value. Significant deviations between instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or something even more serious. A CHANNEL CHECK will detect gross channel failure; thus, it is key to verifying the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each 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 instrument has drifted outside its limit.

The Frequency is based upon operating experience that demonstrates 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 channels required by the TLCO.

TSR 3.5.2.2 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required channel to ensure that the channel will perform the intended function.

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 TEST 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 Specification tests at least once per refueling interval with applicable extensions.

Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with the assumptions of the current plant specific setpoint methodology. The Frequency of 31 days is based on engineering judgment and the reliability of these components.

TSR 3.5.2.3 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.

The Frequency is based upon the assumption of a 92 day calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint analysis.

BASES TSR 3.6.1.3.2 The partial stroke test of each Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) is conducted to demonstrate that the valve is functional and will not malfunction due to valve or actuator problems. The exercise is performed by depressing and holding the MSIV test pushbutton until position indication changes or Reactor Protection System (RPS) limit switches de-energize. The exercise does not operate any MSIV solenoid or air control valve that would operate during an auto close of the MSIV or during a manual fast close of the MSIV performed using the MSIV hand switch. The IST Program requires each MSIV to be partially stroked on a quarterly basis.

Continuance of the MSIV testing requirements of TSR 3.6.1.3.2 on a quarterly basis will satisfy ASME Operation and Maintenance (OM) Code partial stroke exercise testing requirements.
