Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 1, Page 1 of 5 DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED CHANGES

1.0 DESCRIPTION

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.

(DNC) is submitting a request for an amendment to the technical specifications (TS) for Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3). The proposed amendment would modify TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee controlled program with the adoption of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control - Risk-Informed Technical Specification Task Force (RITSTF)'Initiative 5b." Additionally, the change would add a new program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP), to TS Section 6, Administrative Controls. The changes are consistent with NRC-approved Industry/TSTF Standard Technical Specifications (STS) change TSTF-425, Revision 3, (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642). The Federal Register notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996),

announced the availability of this TS improvement.

2.0 ASSESSMENT 2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation DNC has reviewed the safety evaluation provided in Federal Register Notice 74 FR 31996, dated July 6, 2009. This review included a review of the NRC staff's evaluation, TSTF-425, Revision 3, and the requirements specified in NEI 04-10, Rev. 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071360456). includes DNC documentation with regard to technical adequacy of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) consistent with the requirements of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200, Revision 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070240001), Section 4.2. also describes any PRA models without NRC-endorsed standards, including documentation of the quality characteristics of those models in accordance with RG 1. 200.

DNC has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to MPS3 and justify this amendment to incorporate the changes to the MPS3 TSs.

2.2 Optional Changes and Variations The proposed amendment is consistent with the STS changes described in TSTF-425, Revision 3. However, DNC proposes variations or deviations from TSTF-425, as identified below.

1. Revised (typed) TS pages are not included in this amendment request given the number of TS pages affected, the straightforward nature of the proposed changes,

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 1, Page 2 of 5 and outstanding MPS3 amendment requests that may impact some of the same TS pages. Providing only mark-ups of the proposed TS changes satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.90 in that the mark-ups fully describe the changes desired. This represents an administrative deviation from the NRC staffs model application dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) with no impact on the NRC staffs model safety evaluation published in the same Federal Register notice. As a result of this deviation, the contents and numbering of the attachments for this amendment request differ from the attachments specified in the NRC staffs model application.

The proposed TS Bases changes are provided to the NRC for information only.

2. The definition of STAGGERED TEST BASIS is being retained in MPS3 TS Definition Section 1 since this terminology is mentioned in Administrative TS Section 6.8.4.h, "Control Room Envelope Habitability Program," which is not the subject of this amendment request and is not proposed to be changed. This represents an administrative deviation from TSTF-425 with no impact on the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
3. The inserts provided in TSTF-425 are revised to fit the MPS3 TS format.

The TSTF-425 insert for each relocated surveillance frequency is changed from "in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program" to "at the frequency specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."

The insert provided in TSTF-425 to replace text describing the basis for each frequency relocated to the SFCP has been revised from "The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program" to read "The surveillance frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program." This deviation is consistent with recent NRC guidance. After NRC approval of the license amendment request (LAR) and as part of the LAR implementation, the existing MPS3 Bases information describing the basis for the relocated surveillance frequencies will also be relocated to a licensee controlled program with the relocated surveillance frequencies.

In addition, other editorial changes to the existing TS wording and/or text inserts are being made. These administrative/editorial deviations to the TSTF-425 inserts and the existing TS wording are made to fit the MPS3 TS format.

4. Attachment 4 provides a cross-reference between the NUREG-1431 surveillances included in TSTF-425 versus the MPS3 surveillances included in this amendment request. Attachment 4 includes a summary description of the referenced TSTF-425 (NUREG-1431)/MPS3 (NUREG-0452 format) TS surveillances which is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be a verbatim description of the TS surveillances. This cross-reference highlights the following:

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 1, Page 3 of 5

a. NUREG-1431 surveillances included in TSTF-425 and corresponding MPS3 surveillances with plant-specific surveillance numbers,
b. NUREG-1431 surveillances included in TSTF-425 that are not contained in the MPS3 TS, and
c. MPS3 plant-specific surveillances that are not contained in NUREG-1431 and, therefore, are not included in the TSTF-425 mark-ups.

Concerning the above, MPS3 TSs were developed based on NUREG-0452. As a result, the applicable MPS3 TSs and associated Bases number differ from the STS presented in NUREG-1431 and TSTF-425, but with no impact on the NRC staff's model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).

For NUREG-1431 surveillances not contained in MPS3 TSs, the corresponding mark-ups identified in TSTF-425 for these surveillances are not applicable. This is an administrative deviation from TSTF-425 with no impact on the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).

For MPS3 plant-specific surveillances not included in the NUREG-1431 mark-ups provided in TSTF-425, DNC has determined that since these surveillances involve fixed periodic frequencies, relocation of these frequencies is consistent with TSTF-425, Rev. 3, and with the NRC's model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), including the scope exclusions identified in Section 1.0, "Introduction," of the model safety evaluation. In accordance with TSTF-425, changes to the frequencies for these surveillances would be controlled under the SFCP.

The SFCP provides the necessary administrative controls to require that surveillances related to testing, calibration, and inspection are conducted at a frequency to assure the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, facility operation will be within safety limits, and the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Changes to frequencies in the SFCP would be evaluated using the methodology and PRA guidelines contained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ADAMS Accession No. ML071360456), as approved by NRC letter dated September 19, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072570267). The NEI 04-10, Revision 1 methodology includes qualitative considerations, risk analyses, sensitivity studies and bounding analyses, as necessary, and recommended monitoring of the performance of structures, systems, and components, (SSCs) for which frequencies are changed to assure that reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs. In addition, the NEI 04-10, Revision 1 methodology satisfies the five key safety principles specified in RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications," dated August 1998, relative to changes in surveillance frequencies.

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 3

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 1 of 18 DOCUMENTATION OF PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT (PRA)

TECHNICAL ADEQUACY PRA QUALITY OVERVIEW The implementation of the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP, also referred to as Technical Specifications Initiative 5b) at Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3) will follow the guidance provided in NEI 04-10, Revision 1 [Ref. 1] in evaluating proposed surveillance test interval (STI; also referred to as "surveillance frequency") changes. The following steps of the risk-informed STI revision process are common to all proposed STI changes within the proposed licensee controlled program.

EaCh proposed STI revision is reviewed to determine whether there are any commitments made to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that may prohibit changing the interval. If there are no related commitments, or the commitments may be changed using a commitment change process based on NRC endorsed guidance, then evaluation of the STI revision can proceed. If a commitment exists and the commitment change process does not permit the change without NRC approval, then the STI revision cannot be implemented. Only after receiving formal NRC approval to change the commitment could a STI revision proceed.

" A qualitative analysis is performed for each STI revision that involves several considerations as explained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

" Each STI revision is reviewed by an expert panel, referred to as the Integrated Decisionmaking Panel (IDP), which is normally the same panel as is used for Maintenance Rule implementation, but with the addition of specialists with experience in surveillance tests and system or component reliability. If the IDP approves the STI revision, the change is documented and implemented, and available for future audits by the NRC. If the IDP does not approve the STI revision, the STI value is left unchanged.

" Performance monitoring is conducted as recommended by the IDP. In some cases, no additional monitoring may be necessary beyond that already conducted under the Maintenance Rule. Performance monitoring helps to confirm that no failure mechanisms related to the revised test interval are subsequently identified as sufficiently significant to alter the basis provided in the justification for the surveillance interval change.

  • The IDP is responsible for periodic review of performance monitoring results. If it is determined that the time interval between successive performances of a surveillance test is a factor in the unsatisfactory performances of the surveillance, the IDP returns the STI back to the previously acceptable STI.

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 2 of 18 to acceptance criteria in NEI 04-10, Revision 1. Also, the cumulative impact of risk-informed STI revisions on PRA evaluations (i.e., internal events, external events, and shutdown) is also compared to the risk acceptance criteria as delineated in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

For those cases where the STI cannot be modeled in the plant PRA (or where a particular PRA model does not exist for a given hazard group), a qualitative or bounding analysis is performed to provide justification for the acceptability of the proposed test interval change.

The NEI 04-10, Revision 1 methodology endorses the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200, Revision 1 [Ref. 2], "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities." The guidance in RG 1.200 indicates that the following steps should be followed when performing PRA assessments (NOTE: Because of the broad scope of potential Initiative 5b applications and the fact that the risk assessment details will differ from application to application, each of the issues encompassed in Items 1 through 3 below will be covered with the preparation of each individual PRA assessment made in support of the individual STI interval requests.

Item 3 satisfies one of the requirements of Section 4.2 of RG 1.200. The remaining requirements of Section 4.2 are addressed by Item 4 below.):

1. Identify the parts of the PRA used to support the application.

" Identify structures, systems, and components (SSCs), operational characteristics affected by the application and how these are implemented in the PRA model.

" A definition of the acceptance criteria used for the application.

2. Identify the scope of risk contributors addressed by the PRA model.
  • If not full scope (i.e., internal events, external events, applicable modes), identify appropriate compensatory measures or provide bounding arguments to address the risk contributors not addressed by the PRA model.
3. Summarize the risk assessment methodology used to assess the risk of the application.
  • Include how the PRA model was modified to appropriately model the risk impact of the change request.
4. Demonstrate the technical adequacy of the PRA.
  • Identify plant changes (design or operational practices) that have been incorporated at the site, but are not yet in the PRA model and justify why the change does not impact the PRA results used to support the application.

" Document peer review findings and observations that are applicable to the parts of the PRA required for the application, and for those that have not yet been addressed, justify why the significant contributors would not be impacted.

  • Document that the parts of the PRA used in the decision are consistent with applicable standards endorsed by the RG (currently, RG 1.200, Revision 1, which includes only the internal events PRA standard). Provide justification to show that where specific requirements in the standard are not adequately met, it will not unduly impact the results.,

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 3 of 18 Identify key assumptions and approximations relevant to the results used in the decision-making process.

The purpose of the remaining portion of this attachment is to address the requirements identified in Item 4 above.

TECHNICAL ADEQUACY OF THE PRA MODEL The MPS3 PRA model of record, M310A, and associated documentation have been maintained as a living program, and the PRA is updated approximately every 3 to 5 years to reflect the as-built, as-operated plant. The M310A PRA model is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common cause events. The PRA model quantification process used for the MPS3 PRA is based on the event tree/fault tree methodology, which is a well-known methodology in the industry.

Dominion employs a structured approach to establishing and maintaining the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating Dominion nuclear generation sites. This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. The following information describes this approach as it applies to the MPS3 PRA.

PRA Maintenance and Update The MPS3 PRA model and documentation have been maintained as a living program. The PRA is routinely updated approximately every 3 to 5 years in order to reflect the current plant configuration and to reflect the accumulation of additional plant operating history and component failure data.

There are several procedures and GARDs (Guidance and Reference Documentation) that govern Dominion's PRA program. Procedure NF-AA-PRA-101 controls the maintenance and use of the PRA documentation and the associated NF-AA-PRA procedures and GARDs. These documents define the process to delineate the types of calculations to be performed, the computer codes and models used, and the process (or technique) by which each calculation is performed.

The NF-AA-PRA series of GARDs and procedures provide a detailed description of the methodology necessary to:

" Perform PRA for any station in the Dominion Nuclear Fleet, including MPS3.

" Create and maintain products to support licensing and plant operation concerns for the Dominion Nuclear Fleet.

  • Provide PRA model configuration control.
  • Create and maintain configuration risk evaluation tools for the Dominion Nuclear Fleet.

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 4 of 18 A procedurally controlled process is used to maintain configuration control of the MPS3 PRA models, data, and software. In addition to model control, administrative mechanisms are in place to assure that plant modifications, procedure changes, calculations, operator training, system operation changes, and industry operating experiences (OEs) are appropriately screened, dispositioned, and scheduled for incorporation into the model.

These processes help assure that the MPS3 PRA reflects the as-built, as-operated plant within the limitations of the PRA methodology.

This process involves a periodic review and update cycle to model any changes in the plant design or operation. Plant modifications and procedure changes are reviewed on an approximate quarterly or more frequent basis to determine if they impact the PRA and if a PRA modeling and/or documentation change is warranted. These reviews are documented, and if any PRA changes are warranted, they are added to the PRA Configuration Control (PRACC) database for PRA implementation tracking.

As part of the PRA evaluation for each STI change request, a review of open items in the PRACC database is performed and an assessment of the impact on the results of the application is made prior to presenting the results of the risk analysis to the IDP. If a non-trivial impact is expected, then the performance of additional sensitivity studies or PRA model changes to confirm the impact on the risk analysis may be included.

The MPS3 PRACC database was reviewed to identify any open (i.e., not yet officially resolved and incorporated into the PRA) PRACC items. The open PRACC items contain identified PRA changes to address plant modifications (as discussed above) as well as changes to correct errors or to enhance the model.

The Level 1 and Level 2 MPS3 PRA analyses were originally developed and submitted to the NRC in 1983 as the Plant Safety Study (PSS). In response to Generic Letter 88-20, "Individual Plant Examination for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities - 10 CFR 50.54(f)," the Millstone Unit No. 3 Individual Plant Examination (IPE) and Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) were submitted in the same letter to the NRC dated August 31, 1990 [Ref. 3]. The NRC staff evaluation reports for the IPE (May 5, 1992) [Ref. 4] and IPEEE (May 26, 1998) [Ref. 5] concluded that the studies meet the intent of Generic Letter 88-20. The MPS3 PRA has been updated many times since the original PSS. A summary of the MPS3 PRA history is listed below.

NEI PRA Peer Review The MPS3 internal events PRA received a formal industry PRA peer review in 1999 [Ref. 6].

The purpose of the PRA peer review process is to provide a method for establishing the technical quality of a PRA for the spectrum of potential risk-informed plant licensing

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 7 of 18 applications for which the PRA may be used. The PRA peer review process used a team composed of industry PRA and system analysts, each with significant expertise in both PRA development and PRA applications. This team provided both an objective review of the PRA technical elements and a subjective assessment, based on their PRA experience, regarding the acceptability of the PRA elements. The team used a set of checklists as a framework within which to evaluate the scope, comprehensiveness, completeness, and fidelity of the PRA products available. The MPS3 review team used the "Westinghouse Owner's Group (WOG) Peer Review Process Guidance" as the basis for the review.

The general scope of the implementation of the PRA peer review included a review of eleven main technical elements, using checklist tables (to cover the elements and sub-elements), for an at-power PRA including internal events, internal flooding, and containment performance, with focus on LERF.

The findings and observations (F&Os) from the PRA peer review were prioritized into four categories (A through D) based upon importance to the completeness of the model. All F&Os identified during the 1999 WOG peer review have been addressed.

MPS3 PRA Self-Assessment A self-assessment/independent review of the MPS3 PRA against the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) PRA standard was performed by Dominion with the support of a contracting company, MARACOR, in late 2007 using guidance provided in NRC RG 1.200, Revision 1, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results from Risk-Informed Activities" [Ref. 7].

Many of the supporting requirements (SRs) identified in the self-assessment as not meeting Capability Category II were incorporated into the MPS3 2008 PRA model (M308A) revision.

Several improvements made to the model involved -documenting sources of uncertainty/assumptions, including additional loss of single AC and DC buses initiators, upgrading component boundaries to be consistent with generic data, updating several thermal hydraulic (e.g., MAAP computer code) runs and improving success criteria documentation.

MPS3 2012 Focused PRA Peer Review The MPS3 PRA model was then updated (M31 OA) to reflect the current plant configuration and accumulation of additional plant operating history and component failure data. In the M31OA model update, nearly all of the remaining not-met SRs were addressed by further upgrades to the model documentation as well as improvements to the model.

In June 2012, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) performed a focused PRA peer review of model upgrades [Ref. 10] incorporated since the 1999 WOG peer review. The purpose of the PRA peer review is to assess whether PRA upgrades, as defined by the ASME/ANS (American Nuclear Society) PRA standard, meet the intent of Category II SRs.

  • Documentation issue that was resolved following the peer review Gaps to Meeting the ASME/ANS Standard Table 3 provides a list of "gaps" in the technical adequacy of the MPS3 PRA model, M31OA.

Technical adequacy gaps were identified during the internal self-assessment and the focused peer review. For each gap, the table provides a gap description, ASME/ANS SR, Current Status/Comment and Importance to Application fields. Modeling gaps are classified as either high risk significance or low risk significance (based on their Fussell-Vesely (FV) importance value using a threshold value of 5E-3), or are classified as no impact to the application.

In accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," open gaps that would impact the results of the SFCP PRA assessment will require sensitivity studies. These are identified in Table 3. These open gaps will be addressed in a PRA model periodic update in accordance with the PRA program procedural requirements.

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 16 of 18 External Events Considerations Internal Plant Examination - External Events (IPEEE)

The NEI 04-10, Revision 1, methodology allows for STI change evaluations to be performed in the absence of quantifiable PRA models for all external hazards. For those cases where the STI cannot be modeled in the plant PRA (or where a particular PRA model does not exist for a given hazard group), a qualitative or bounding analysis is performed to provide justification for the acceptability of the proposed STI change.

The MPS3 PRA is a Level 1 and 2 model that includes internal events and internal floods.

For external events such as fire, seismic, extreme winds and other external events, the risk assessments from the IPEEE [Ref. 3] can be used for insights on changes to surveillance intervals.

Fire Risk The MPS3 PRA does not include a fire model. Therefore, the results of the fire risk assessment performed for the IPEEE must be qualitatively assessed for impact of the STI extension on fire risk. The IPEEE fire risk analysis quantified a CDF impact by combining the frequency of fires and the probability of detection/suppression failure with the remaining safety function unavailabilities. A systematic approach was used to identify critical fire areas where fires could fail safety functions and pose an increased risk of core damage if other safety functions are unavailable. The CDF due to fires is 4.8E-06/yr, with the dominant risk being fires in the cable spreading room, switchgear rooms, control room, and auxiliary building.

Seismic Risk The MPS3 PRA has not updated the seismic model since the IPEEE. Therefore, the results of the seismic risk assessment performed for the IPEEE must be qualitatively assessed for impact of the STI extension on seismic event risk. The IPEEE seismic risk analysis quantified a CDF impact by combining the seismic hazard frequencies with the fragilities of critical structures and components and the safety function unavailability. The CDF due to seismic events is 9.1E-06/yr, with the dominant risk being seismic events that result in a loss of offsite power and failure of the emergency diesel generator enclosures, or collapse of the control building.

High Winds, Floods and Other External Events The risk of other external events such as high winds, aircraft accidents, hazardous materials and turbine missiles was assessed in the MPS3 IPEEE. The IPEEE assessments concluded that the risk of these accidents is negligible primarily due to the low frequency of occurrence that would cause damage to mitigating systems. For example, reinforced concrete houses provide the applicable safety systems missile protection during high wind conditions.

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 2, Page 17 of 18 Summary of External Events As stated earlier, the NEI 04-10, Revision 1, methodology allows for STI change evaluations to be performed in the absence of quantifiable PRA models for external hazards. Therefore, in performing the assessments for the other hazard groups, a qualitative or bounding approach will be used.

SUMMARY

The MPS3 PRA technical capability evaluations and the maintenance and update processes described above provide a robust basis for concluding that the full power internal events MPS3 PRA is suitable for use in risk-informed processes such as that proposed for the implementation of a SFCP. In performing the assessments for the other hazard groups, the qualitative or bounding approach will be utilized in most cases. Also, in addition to the standard set of sensitivity studies required per the NEI 04-10, Revision 1, methodology, open items for changes at the site and remaining gaps to specific requirements in the ASME/ANS PRA standard will be reviewed to determine which, if any, would merit application-specific sensitivity studies in the presentation of the application results.

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 3

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 5, Page 1 of 2 PROPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Description of Amendment Request:

This amendment request involves the adoption of approved changes to the standard technical specifications (STS) for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors (NUREG-1431), to allow relocation of specific technical specification (TS) surveillance frequencies to a licensee controlled program. The proposed changes are described in Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler, TSTF-425, Revision 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642), "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control

- RITSTF Initiative 5b" and are described in the Notice of Availability published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).

The proposed changes are consistent with NRC-approved Industry/TSTF Traveler, TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF Initiative 5b." The proposed changes relocate surveillance frequencies to a licensee controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP). The changes are applicable to licensees using probabilistic risk guidelines contained in NRC-approved NEI 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ADAMS Accession No.

071360456). In addition, administrative/editorial deviations of the TSTF-425 inserts and the existing TS wording are being proposed to fit the custom TS format.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration: As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), the Dominion analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below:

1. Do the proposed changes involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes relocate the specified frequencies for periodic surveillance requirements to licensee control under a new Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

Surveillance frequencies are not an initiator to any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the probability of any accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased.

The systems and components required by the TSs for which the surveillance frequencies are relocated are still required to be operable, meet the acceptance criteria for the surveillance requirements, and be capable of performing any mitigation function assumed in the accident analysis. As a result, the consequences of any accident previously evaluated are not significantly increased.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Serial No.12-580 Docket No. 50-423 Attachment 5, Page 2 of 2

2. Do the proposed changes create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?

Response: No.

No new or different accidents result from utilizing the proposed changes. The changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change in the methods governing normal plant operation. In addition, the changes do not impose any new or different requirements.

The changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed changes are consistent with the safety analysis assumptions and current plant operating practice.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Do the proposed changes involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?

Response: No.

The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria for systems, structures, and components (SSCs), specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plant licensing basis (including the final safety analysis report and bases to TS), since these are not affected by changes to the surveillance frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. To evaluate a change in the relocated surveillance frequency, Dominion will perform a probabilistic risk evaluation using the guidance contained in NRC approved NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, in accordance with the TS SFCP. NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, methodology provides reasonable acceptance guidelines and methods for evaluating the risk increase of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.177.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based upon the reasoning presented above, Dominion concludes that the requested changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration as set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), Issuance of Amendment.

L.BDCR 05-Nu3=025-Marc 7*, 2006 BASES REACTIVITY CONTROL Ithe SYSTEMS frequency specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Progn MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES (Contined Additional surveillance is required to ensure the plant ocess computer indications are in agreement with those displayed on the DRPI. This i a ditional SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT is as follows:

Each rod position indication as displ ed by the plant process computer shall be determined to be OPERABLE /rifying by the rod position indication as displayed on the DRPI display panel agrees wit e rod position indication as displayed by the plant process computer at least once-per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

The rod position indication, as displayed by DRPI display panel (MB4), is a non-QA system, calibrated on a refueling interval, and used to implement T/S 3.1.3.2. Because the plant process computer receives field data from the same source as the DRPI System (MB4), and is also calibrated on a refueling interval, it fully meets all requirements specified in T/S 3.1.3.2 for rod position. Additionally, the plant process computer provides the same type and level of accuracy as the DRPI System (MB4). The plant process computer does not provide any alarm or rod position deviation monitoring as does DRPI display panel (MB4).

For Specification 3.1.3.1 ACTIONS b. and c., it is incumbent upon the plant to verify the trippability of the inoperable control rod(s). Trippability is defined in Attachment C to a letter dated December 21, 1984, from E. P. Rahe (Westinghouse) to C. 0. Thomas (NRC). This may be by verification of a control system failure, usually electrical in nature, or that the failure is associated with the control rod stepping mechanism. In the event the plant is unable to verify the rod(s) trippability, it must be assumed to be untrippable and thus falls under the requirements of ACTION a. Assuming a controlled shutdown from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER, this allows approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for this verification.

For LCO 3.1.3.6 the control bank insertion limits are specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR). These insertion limits are the initial assumptions in safety analyses that assume rod insertion upon reactor trip. The insertion limits directly affect core power and fuel burnup distributions, assumptions of available SHUTDOWN MARGIN, and initial reactivity insertion rate.

The applicable I&C calibration procedure (Reference 1.) being current indicates the associated circuitry is OPERABLE.

There are conditions when the Lo-Lo and Lo alarms of the RIL Monitor are limited below the RIL specified in the COLR. The RIL Monitor remains OPERABLE because the lead control rod bank still has the Lo and Lo-Lo alarms greater than or equal to the RIL.

Margin is maintained between the safety analysis limit DNB d t design limit DNBR. This margin is more than sufficient to offset the effect of rod bow d an other DNB penalties that may occur. The remaining margin is available for plant de gn flex' ility.

When an FQ measurement is taken, an allowance for bo experim ntal error and manufacturing tolerance must be made. An allowance of 5% is appro nriate for a 11 core map taken with the incore detector flux mapping system and a 3% allow nce is apprq riate for manufacturing tolerance.

The heat flux hot channel factor, FQ(Z), is measu d periodicallylsing the incore detector system.

These measurements are generally taken with e core at or near steady state conditions. Using the measured three dimensional power distri tions, it is possible to derive F M(Z), a computed value of FQ(Z). However, because this val represents a steady state condition, it does not include the variations in the value of FQ( that are present during nonequilibrium situations.

To account for these possible variation the steady state limit of FQ(Z) is adjusted by an elevation dependent factor appropriate to eithe OC or base load operation, W(Z) or W(Z)BL, that accounts for the calculated worst ca/e transient conditions. The W(Z) and W(Z)BL, factors described above for normal operat* n are specified in the COLR per Specification 6.9.1 .6. Core monitoring and control under no steady state conditions are accomplished by operating the core within the limits of the approp te LCOs, including the limits on AFD, QPTR, and control rod insertion. Evaluation of the s ady state FQ(Z) limit is performed in Specification 4.2.2.1.2.b and 4.2.2.1.4.b while evaluation onequilibrium limits are performed in Specification 4.2.2.1.2.c and 4.2.2.1.4.c.

When RCS flow rate a d FNAH are measured, no additional allowances are necessary prior to comparison with the inits of the Limiting Condition for Operation. Measurement errors for RCS total flow rate nd for FNAH have been taken into account in determination of the design DNBR value.

The measureme t error for RCS total flow rate is based upon performing a precision heat balance and using the sult to calibrate the RCS flow rate indicators. To perform the precision heat balance, the 'strumentation used for determination of steam pressure, feedwater pressure, feedwater perature, and feedwater venturi AP in the calorimetric calculations shall be calibrated an least enco per IS manth&. Potential fouling of the feedwater venturi which might not be detected could bias the result from the precision heat balance in a non-conservative manner.

Any fouling which might bias the RCS flow rate measurement can be detected by monitoring and trending various plant performance parameters. If detected, action shall be taken before performing subsequent precision heat balance measurements, i.e., either the effect of the fouling shall be quantified and compensated for in the RCS flow rate measurement or the venturi shall be cleaned to eliminate the fouling.

The 1h periodic surveillance of indicated RCS flo is sufficient to detect only flow degradation which could lead to operation outside the acceptable region of operation defined in Specifications 3.2.3. 1.

3/4:2.4 QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO The QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO limit assures that the radial power distribution satisfies the design values used in the power capability analysis. Radial power distribution measurements are made during STARTUP testing and periodically during POWER OPERATION.

The limit of 1.02, at which corrective action is required, provides DNB and linear heat generation rate protection with x-y plane power tilts. A limiting tilt of 1.025 can be tolerated before the margin for uncertainty in FQ is depleted. A limit of 1.02 was selected to provide an allowance for the uncertainty associated with the indicated power tilt.

The 2-hour time allowance for operation with a tilt condition greater than 1.02 but less than 1.09 is provided to allow identification and correction of a dropped or misaligned control rod. In the event such action does not correct the tilt, the margin for uncertainty on FQ is reinstated by reducing the maximum allowed power by 3% for each percent of tilt in excess Of 1.

For purposes of monitoring QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO when one excore detector is inoperable, the moveable incore detectors are used to confirm that the normalized symmetric power distribution is consistent with the QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO. The incore detector monitoring is done with a full incore flux map or two sets of four symmetric thimbles. The two sets of four symmetric thimbles is a unique set of eight detector locations.

These locations are C-8, E-5, E-11, H-3, H-13, L-5, L- 11,N-8.

3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB-related parameters assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady-state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR greater than the design limit throughout each analyzed transient.

The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveillance tests performed a-the minimum fr-qucnc.-os are sufficient to demonstrate this capability. "'--Insert The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Nominal Trip Setpoints specified in Table 3.3-4 are the nominal values of which the bistables are set for each functional unit. The Allowable Values (Nominal Trip Setpoints +/- the calibration tolerance) are considered the Limiting Safety System Settings as identified in 10CFR50.36 and have been selected to mitigate the consequences of accidents. A Setpoint is considered to be consistent with the nominal value when the measured "as left" Setpoint is within the administratively controlled (+) calibration tolerance identified in plant procedures (which specifies the difference between the Allowable Value and Nominal Trip Setpoint). Additionally, the Nominal Trip Setpoints may be adjusted in the conservative direction provided the calibration tolerance remains unchanged.

Measurement and Test Equipment accuracy is administratively controlled by plant procedures and is included in the plant uncertainty calculations as defined in WCAP-10991.

OPERABILITY determinations are based on the use of Measurement and Test Equipment that conforms with the accuracy used in the plant uncertainty calculation.

The Allowable Value specified in Table 3.3-4 defines the limit beyond which a channel is inoperable. If the process rack bistable setting is measured within the "as left" calibration tolerance, which specifies the difference between the Allowable Value and Nominal Trip Setpoint, then the channel is considered to be OPERABLE.

The methodology, as defined in WCAP-10991 to derive the Nominal Trip Setpoints, is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent in the determination of the Nominal Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels should be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Occasional drift in excess of the allowance may be determined to be acceptable based on the other device performance characteristics. Device drift in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and would warrant further investigation.

The above Bases does not apply to the Control Building Inlet Ventilation radiation monitors ESF Table (Item 7E). For these radiation monitors the allowable values are essentially nominal values.

Due to the uncertainties involved in radiological parameters, the methodologies of WCAP- 10991 were not applied. Actual trip setpoints will be reestablished below the allowable value based on calibration accuracies and good practices.

The OPERABILITY requirements for Table 3.3-3, Functional Units 7.a, "Control Building Isolation, Manual Actuation," and 7.e, "Control Building Isolation, Control Building Inlet Ventilation Radiation," are defined by table notation "*". These functional units are required to be OPERABLE at all times during plant operation in MODES 1,2, 3, and 4.

L;DDCR No. 01 MP3 015 3/4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The safety analyses performed for the reactor at power assume that all reactor coolant loops are initially in operation and the loop stop valves are open. This LCO places controls on the loop stop valves to ensure that the valves are not inadvertently closed in MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The inadvertent closure of a loop stop valve when the Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) are operating will result in a partial loss of forced reactor coolant flow. If the reactor is at rated power at the time of the event, the effect of the partial loss of forced coolant flow is a rapid increase in the coolant temperature which could result in DNB with subsequent fuel damage if the reactor is not tripped by the Low Flow reactor trip. If the reactor is shutdown and a RCS loop is in operation removing decay heat, closure of the loop stop valve associated with the operating loop could also result in increasing coolant temperature and the possibility of fuel damage.

The loop stop valves have motor operators. If power is inadvertently restored to one or more loop stop valve operators, the potential exists for accidental closure of the affected loop stop valve(s) and the partial loss of forced reactor coolant flow. With power applied to a valve operator, only the interlocks prevent the valve from being operated. Although operating procedures and interlocks make the occurrence of this event unlikely, the prudent action is to remove power from the loop stop valve operators. The time period of 30 minutes to remove power from the loop stop valve operators is sufficient considering the complexity of the task.

Should a loop stop valve be closed in MODES 1 through 4, the affected valve must be maintained closed and the plant placed in MODE 5. Once in MODE 5, the isolated loop may be started in a controlled manner in accordance with LCO 3.4.1.6, "Reactor Coolant System Isolated Loop Startup." Opening the closed loop stop valve in MODES 1 through 4 could result in colder water or water at a lower boron concentration being mixed with the operating RCS loops resulting in positive reactivity insertion. The time period provided in ACTION 3.4.1 .5.b allows time for borating the operating loops to a shutdown boration level such that the plant can be brought to MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and MODE 5 within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

The primary function of this Surveillance is to ensure that power is removed from the valve operators, since Surveillance Requirement 4.4. 1.1 requires verification every 12-heti that all loops are operating and circulating reactor coolant, thereby ensuring that the loop stop valves are open.

Specification 3.1.1.2 requires the SHUTDOWN MARGIN to be greater than or equal to the limits specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT for MODE 5 with RCS loops not filled provided CVCS is aligned to preclude boron dilution. This specification is for loops not filled and therefore is applicable to an all loops isolated condition.

Two hours has been selected for pressurizer level restoration after a transient to avoid an unnecessary downpower with pressurizer level outside the operating band. Normally, alarms are also available for early detection of abnormal level indications.

Electrical immersion heaters, located in the lower section of the pressurizer vessel, keep the water in the pressurizer at saturation temperature and maintain a constant operating pressure.

A minimum required available capacity of pressurizer heaters ensures that the RCS pressure can be maintained. The capability to maintain and control system pressure is important for maintaining subcooled conditions in the RCS and ensuring the capability to remove core decay heat by either forced or natural circulation of the reactor coolant. Unless adequate heater capacity is available, the hot high-pressure condition cannot be maintained indefinitely and still provide the required subcooling margin in the primary system. Inability to control the system pressure and maintain subcooling under conditions of natural circulation flow in the primary system could lead to a loss of single-phase natural circulation and decreased capability to remove core decay heat.

The LCO requires two groups of OPERABLE pressurizer heaters, each with a capacity of at least 175 kW. The heaters are capable of being powered from either the offsite power source or the emergency power supply. The minimum heater capacity required is sufficient to maintain the RCS near normal operating pressure when accounting for heat losses through the pressurizer insulation. By maintaining the pressure near the operating conditions, a wide margin to subcooling can be obtained in the loops. The requirement for two groups of pressurizer heaters, each having a capacity of 175 kW, is met by verifying the capacity of the pressurizer heater groups A and B. Since the pressurizer heater groups A and B are supplied from the emergency 480V electrical buses, there is reasonable assurance that these heaters can be energized during a loss of offsite power to maintain natural circulation at HOT STANDBY. Providing an emergency (Class 1E) power source for the required pressurizer heaters meets the requirement of NUREG-0737, "A Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," II.E.3. 1, "Emergency Power Requirements for Pressurizer Heaters."

If one required group of pressurizer heaters is inoperable, restoration is required within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is reasonable considering that a demand caused by loss of offsite power would be unlikely in this time period. Pressure control may be maintained during this time using normal station powered heaters.

MODE 3 The requirement for the pressurizer to be OPERABLE, with a level less than or equal to 89%, ensures that a steam bubble exists. The 89% level preserves the steam space for pressure control. The 89% level has been established to ensure the capability to establish and maintain pressure control for MODE 3 and to ensure a bubble is present in the pressurizer. Initial pressurizer level is not significant for those events analyzed for MODE 3 in Chapter 15 of the FSAR.

3/4.4.4 RELIEF VALVES The power-operated relief valves (PORVs) and steam bubble function to relieve RCS pressure during all design transients up to and including the design step load decrease with steam dump. Operation of the PORVs minimizes the undesirable opening of the spring-loaded pressurizer Code safety valves. Each PORV has a remotely operated block valve to provide a positive shutoff capability should a relief valve become inoperable. Requiring the PORVs to be OPERABLE ensures that the capability for depressurization during safety grade cold shutdown is met.

ACTION statements a, b, and c distinguishes the inoperability of the power operated relief valves ,'

(PORV). Specifically, a PORV may be designated inoperable but it may be able to automatically and manually open and close and therefore, able to perform its function. PORV inoperability may be due to seat leakage which does not prevent automatic or manual use and does not create the possibility for a small-break LOCA. For these reasons, the block valve may be closed but the action requires power to be maintained to the valve. This allows quick access to the PORV for pressure control. On the other hand if a PORV is inoperable and not capable of being automatically and manually cycled, it must be either restored or isolated by closing the associated block valve and removing power.

Note: PORV position indication does not affect the ability of the PORV to perform any of its safety functions. Therefore, the failure of PORV position indication does not cause the PORV to be inoperable. However, failed position indication of these valves must be restored "as soon as practicable" as required by Technical Specification 6.8.4.e.3.

Automatic operation of the PORVs is created to allow more time for operators to terminate an Inadvertent ECCS Actuation at Power. The PORVs and associated piping have been demonstrated to be qualified for water relief. Operation of the PORVs will prevent water relief from the pressurizer safety valves for which qualification for water relief has not been demonstrated. If the PORVs are capable of automatic operation but have been declared inoperable, closure of the PORV block valve is acceptable since the Emergency Operating Procedures provide guidance to assure that the PORVs would be available to mitigate the event.

OPERABILITY and setpoint controls for the safety grade PORV opening logic are maintained in the Technical Requirements Manual.

Satisfying the primary to secondary LEAKAGE limit ensures that the operational LEAKAGE performance criterion in the Steam Generator Program is met. If this SR is not met, compliance with LCO 3.4.5, "Steam Generator Tube Integrity," should be evaluated.

The 150 gallons per day limit is measured at room temperature as described in Reference 5. The operational LEAKAGE rate limit applies to LEAKAGE through any one SG. If it is not practical to assign the LEAKAGE to an individual SQ all the primary to secondary LEAKAGE should be conservatively assumed to be from one SG.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION SYSTEMS (continued)

The AOT in MODE 4 considers the facts that only one of the relief valves is required to mitigate an overpressure transient and that the likelihood of an active failure of the remaining valve path during this time period is very low. The RCS must be depressurized and a vent must be established within the following 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if the required relief valve is not restored to OPERABLE within the required AOT of 7 days.

The consequences of operational events that will overpressure the RCS are more severe at lower temperatures (Ref. 8). Thus, with one of the two required relief valves inoperable in MODE 5 or in MODE 6 with the head on, the AOT to restore two valves to OPERABLE status is 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

The AOT represents a reasonable time to investigate and repair several types of relief valve failures without exposure to a lengthy period with only one OPERABLE relief valve to protect against overpressure events.

The vent must be sized > 2.0 square inches to ensure that the flow capacity is greater than that required for the worst case cold overpressure transient reasonable during the applicable MODES.

This action is needed to protect the RCPB from a low temperature overpressure event and a possible non-ductile failure of the reactor vessel.

The time required to place the plant in this Condition is based on the relatively low probability of an overpressure event during this time period due to increased operator awareness of administrative control requirements.

The Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) has several piping cross connection points for use during the post-LOCA recirculation phase of operation. These cross-connection points allow the Recirculation Spray System (RSS) to supply water from the containment sump to the safety injection and charging pumps. The RSS has the capability to supply both Train A and B safety injection pumps and both Train A and B charging pumps. Operator action is required to position valves to establish flow from the containment sump through the RSS subsystems to the safety injection and charging pumps since the valves are not automatically repositioned. The quarterly stroke testing (Technical Specification 4.0.5) of the ECC/RSS recirculation flowpath valves discussed below will not result in subsystem inoperability (except due to other equipment manipulations to support valve testing) since these valves are manually aligned in accordance with the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) to establish the recirculation flowpaths. It is expected the valves will be returned to the normal pre-test position following termination of the surveillance testing in response to the accident. Failure to restore any valve to the normal pre-test position will be indicated to the Control Room Operators when the ESF status panels are checked, as directed by the EOPs. The EOPs direct the Control Room Operators to check the ESF status panels early in the event to ensure proper equipment alignment. Sufficient time before the recirculation flowpath is required is expected to be available for operator action to position any valves that have not been restored to the pretest position, including localmanual valve operation. Even if the valves are not restored to the pre-test position, sufficient capability will remain to meet ECCS post-LOCA recirculation requirements. As a result, stroke testing of the ECCS recirculation valves discussed below will not result in a loss of system independence or redundancy, and both ECCS subsystems will remain OPERABLE.

When performing the quarterly stroke test of 3 SIH*MV8923A, the control switch for safety injection pump 3SIH PIA is placed in the pull-to-lock position to prevent an automatic pump start with the suction valve closed. With the control switch for 3SIH*P1A in pull-to-lock, the Train A ECCS subsystem is inoperable and Technical Specification 3.5.2, ACTION a., applies. This ACTION statement is sufficient to administratively control the plant configuration with the automatic start of 3SIH*PIA defeated to allow stroke testing of 3SIH*MV8923A. In addition, the EOPs and the ESF status panels will identify this abnormal plant configuration, if not corrected following the termination of the surveillance testing, to the plant operators to allow restoration of the normal post-LOCA recirculation flowpath. Even if system restoration is not accomplished, sufficient equipment will be available to perform all ECCS and RSS injection and recirculation functions, provided no additional ECCS or RSS equipment is inoperable, and an additional single failure does not occur (an acceptable assumption since the Technical Specification ACTION statement limits the plant configuration time such that no additional equipment failure need be postulated). During the injection phase the redundant subsystem (Train B) is fully functional, as is a significant portion of the Train A subsystem. During the recirculation phase, the Train A RSS subsystem can supply water from the containment sump to the Train A MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 B 3/4 5-2b Amendment No. 4-N, 44-7,4-5-7 .

EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES (Continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a design basis accident (DBA) could lead to a fission product release to containment that leaks to the secondary containment boundary. The large break LOCA, on which this system's design is based, is a full-power event. Less severe LOCAs and leakage still require the system to be OPERABLE throughout these MODES. The probability and severity of a LOCA decrease as core power and reactor coolant system pressure decrease. With the reactor shut down, the probability of release of radioactivity resulting from such an accident is low.

In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequence of a DBA are low due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Under these conditions, the SLCRS is not required to be OPERABLE.

ACTIONS If it is discovered that the TSP in the containment building sump is not within limits, action must be taken to restore the TSP to within limits. During plant operation, the containment sump is not accessible and corrections may not be possible.

The 7-day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period. The Completion Time is adequate to restore the volume of TSP to within the technical specification limits.

If the TSP cannot be restored within limits within the 7-day Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. The specified Completion Times for reaching MODES 3 and 4 are those used throughout the technical specifications; they were chosen to allow reaching the specified conditions from full power in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

LBDCGR Ne. 05 NP3 007 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES The design of the Containment RSS is sufficiently independent so that an active failure in the recirculation spray mode, cold leg recirculation mode, or hot leg recirculation mode of the ECCS has no effect on its ability to perform its engineered safety function. In other words, the failure in one subsystem does not affect the capability of the other subsystem to perform its designated safety function of assuring adequate core cooling in the event of a design basis LOCA. As long as one subsystem is OPERABLE, with one pump capable of assuring core cooling and the other pump capable of removing heat from containment, the RSS system meets its design requirements.

The LCO 3.6.2.2. ACTION applies when any of the RSS pumps, heat exchangers, or associated components are declared inoperable. All four RSS pumps are required to be OPERABLE to meet the requirements of this LCO 3.6.2.2. During the injection phase of a Loss Of Coolant Accident all four RSS pumps would inject into containment to perform their containment heat removal function. The minimum requirement for the RSS to adequately perform this function is to have at least one subsystem available. Meeting the requirements of LCO 3.6.2.2. ensures the minimum RSS requirements are satisfied.

Surveillance Requirement 4.6.2.2.c requires that at least ncee per 24 mHnths, verification is made that on a CDA test signal, each RSS pump starts automatically after receipt of an RWST Low-Low level signal. The 21m.onth frequen.y is based on the need to per-fr.m

Normal plant operation and maintenance activities are not expected to trigger performance of these surveillance requirements. However, activities, such as an inadvertent spray actuation that causes fluid flow through the nozzles, a major configuration change, or a loss of foreign material control when working within the respective system boundary may require surveillance performance. An evaluation, based on the specific situation, will determine the appropriate test method (e.g., visual inspection, air or smoke flow test) to verify no nozzle obstruction.

LBDCR No. 04 MP3 015 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES The OPERABILITY of the containment isolation valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment and is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 54 through 57 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. Containment isolation within the time limits specified for these isolation valves designed to close automatically ensures that the release of radioactive material to the environment will be consistent with the assumptions used in the analyses for a LOCA. FSAR Table 6.2-65 lists all containment isolation valves. The addition or deletion of any containment isolation valve shall be made in accordance with Section 50.59 of IOCFR50 and approved by the committee(s) as described in the QAP Topical Report.

For the purposes of meeting this LCO, the safety function of the containment isolation valves is to shut within the time limits assumed in the accident analyses. As long as the valves can shut within the time limits assumed in the accident analyses, the valves are OPERABLE. Where the valve position indication does not affect the operation of the valve, the indication is not required for valve OPERABILITY under this LCO. Position indication for containment isolation valves is covered by Technical Specification 6.8.4.e., Accident Monitoring Instrumentation.

Failed position indication on these valves must.be restored "as soon as practicable" as required by Technical Specification 6.8.4.e.3. Maintaining the valves OPERABLE, when position indication fails, facilitates troubleshooting and correction of the failure, allowing the indication to be restored "as soon as practicable."

With one or more penetration flow paths with one containment isolation valve inoperable, the inoperable valve must be restored to OPERABLE status or the affected penetration flow path must be isolated. The method of isolation must include the use of at least one isolation barrier that cannot be adversely affected by a single active failure. Isolation barriers that meet this criterion are a closed and deactivated automatic valve, a closed manual valve, and a blind flange. A check valve may not be used to isolate the affected penetration.

If the containment isolation valve on a closed system becomes inoperable, the remaining barrier is a closed system since a closed system is an acceptable alternative to an automatic valve.

However, actions must still be taken to meet Technical Specification ACTION 3.6.3.d and the valve, not normally considered as a containment isolation valve, and closest to the containment wall should be put into the closed position. No leak testing of the alternate valve is necessary to satisfy the ACTION statement, Placing the manual valve in the closed position sufficiently 4]

deactivates the penetration for Technical Specification compliance.

Closed system isolation valves applicable to Technical Specification ACTION 3.6.3.d are included in FSAR Table 6.2-65, and are the isolation valves for those penetrations credited as General Design Criteria 57. The specified time (i.e., 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />) of Technical Specification ACTION 3.6.3.d is reasonable, considering the relative stability of the closed system (hence, reliability) to act as a penetration isolation boundary and the relative importance of supporting containment OPERABILITY during MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4. In the event the affected penetration is ,

isolated in accordance with 3.6.3.d, the affected penetration flow path must be verified to be isolated on a periodic basis, (Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1 .a). This is necessary to assure leak tightness of containment and that containment penetrations requiring isolation following an accident are isolated. ; ,- r1 3 days-th-i- suiv,-illancc for verif-hfg that h td pnra ,,opahisolated is appropriat cnsidcring thc valvca arc opcratcd MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 B3/46-3Amendment No. 28, 63, 4-2, 26, Akcowledged by NfR, tetter dated O8,25ff,5

ANSI N510-1980 shall be used in place of ANSI N510-1975 referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2. Laboratory testing of methyl iodide penetration shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D3803-89 and Millstone Unit 3 specific parameters. The surveillances include testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal (general use and following specific operations). The heater kW measured must be corrected to its nameplate rating. Variations in system voltage can lead to measurements of kW which cannot be compared to the nameplate rating because the output kW is proportional to the square of the voltage.

Any time the OPERABILITY of a HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housing has been affected by repair, maintenance, modification, or replacement activity, post maintenance testing in accordance with SR 4.0.1 is required to demonstrate OPERABILITY.

The 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of operation requirement originates from Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, Table 2, Note "c", which states that "Testing should be performed (1) initially, (2) at least once per 18 months thereafter for systems maintained in a standby status or after 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of system operations, and (3) following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system."

This testing ensures that the charcoal adsorbency capacity has not degraded below acceptable limits, as well as providing trend data. The 720 hour0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> figure is an arbitrary number which is equivalent to a 30 day period.

In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of a DBA are low due to the RCS temperature and pressure limitation in these MODES. Therefore, Secondary Containment is not required in MODES 5 and 6.

ACTIONS In the event Secondary Containment OPERABILITY is not maintained, Secondary Containment OPERABILITY must be restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Twenty-four hours is a reasonable Completion Time considering the limited leakage design of containment and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period. Therefore, it is considered that there exists no loss of safety function while in the ACTION Statement.

Inoperability of the Secondary Containment does not make the SLCRS fans and filters inoperable. Therefore, while in this ACTION Statement solely due to inoperability of the Secondary Containment, the conditions and required ACTIONS associated with Specification 3.6.6.1 (i.e., Supplementary Leak Collection and Release System) are not required to be entered.

1 If the Secondary Containment OPERABILITY cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required completion time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

If all three AFW pumps are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the unit is in a seriously degraded condition with no safety related means for conducting a cooldown, and only limited means for conducting a cooldown with non safety related equipment. In such a condition, the unit should not be perturbed by any action, including a power change, that might result in a trip. The seriousness of this condition requires that action be started immediately to restore one AFW pump to OPERABLE status. Required ACTION e. is modified by a Note indicating that all required MODE changes or power reductions are suspended until one AFW pump is restored to OPERABLE status. In this case, LCO 3.0.3 is not applicable because it could force the unit into a less safe condition.

SR 4.7.1.2. 1a. verifies the correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the auxiliary feedwater water and steam supply flow paths to provide assurance that the proper flow paths exist for auxiliary feedwater operation. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these valves are verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. This SR also does not apply to valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned, such as check valves.

This exception to pump OPERABILITY allows the pump(s) and associated valves to be out of their normal standby alignment and temporarily incapable of automatic initiation without declaring the pump(s) inoperable. Since auxiliary feedwater may be used during STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, HOT STANDBY operations, and HOT SHUTDOWN operations for steam generator level control, and these manual operations are an accepted function of the auxiliary feedwater system, OPERABILITY (i.e., the intended safety function) continues to be maintained.

3/4.7.6 DELETED 3/4.7.7 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM BACKGROUND The control room emergency ventilation system provides a protected environment from which operators can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemicals, or smoke. Additionally, the system provides temperature control for the control room envelope (CRE) during normal and post-accident operations.

The control room emergency ventilation system is comprised of the CRE emergency air filtration system and a temperature control system.

The control room emergency air filtration system consists of two redundant systems that recirculate and filter the air in the CRE and a CRE boundary that limits the inleakage of unfiltered 1/

air. Each control room emergency air filtration system consists of a moisture separator, electric/4 heater, prefilter, upstream high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, charcoal adsorber, downstream HEPA filter, and fan. Additionally, ductwork, valves or dampers, and instrumentation form part of the system.

The CRE is the area within the confines of the CRE boundary that contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit during normal and accident conditions. This area encompasses the control room, and other non-critical areas including adjacent support offices, MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 B 3/4 7-10 Amendment No. 49, 4-3.6, 4-44, 24-4,

The Charging Pump/Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation System is required to be available to support the Auxiliary Building Filter System and the Supplementary Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS). The Charging Pump/Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation System consists of two redundant trains, each capable of providing 100% of the required flow. Each train has a two position, "Off' and "Auto," remote control switch. With the remote control switches for each train in the "Auto" position, the system is capable of automatically transferring operation to the redundant train in the event of a low flow condition in the operating train.

Suspending positive reactivity additions that could result in failure to meet the minimum SDM or boron concentration limit is required to assure continued safe operation. Introduction of coolant inventory must be from sources that have a boron concentration greater than that what would be required in the RCS for minimum SDM or refueling boron concentration. This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration, but provides acceptable margin to maintaining subcritical operation. Introduction of temperature changes including temperature increases when operating with a positive MTC must also be evaluated to ensure they do not result in a loss of required SDM.

Suspension of these activities does not preclude completion of actions to establish a safe conservative condition. These actions minimize the probability of the occurrence of postulated events. It is further required to immediately initiate action to restore the required AC and DC electrical power source and distribution subsystems and to continue this action until restoration is accomplished in order to provide the necessary power to the unit safety systems.

The Surveillance Requirement for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129, "Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1975 & 1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations." Sections 5 and 6 of IEEE Std 450-1980 replaced Sections 4 and 5 of IEEE Std 450-1975. Guidance on bypassing weak cells, if required, is in accordance with section 7.4 of IEEE 450-2002. The f balance of IEEE Std 450-1975 applies. \--Insert2 Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values, and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates, and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-2a specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage, and specific gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-2a is permitted for up to 7 days. During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design function.

ACTIONS RHR loop requirements are met by having one RHR loop OPERABLE and in operations, except as permitted in the Note to the LCO.

If RHR loop requirements are not met, there will be no forced circulation to provide mixing to establish uniform boron concentrations. Suspending positive reactivity additions that could result in failure to meet the minimum boron concentration limit is required to assure continued safe operation. Introduction of coolant inventory must be from sources that have a boron concentration greater than that what would be required in the RCS for minimum refueling boron concentration. This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration, but provides acceptable margin to maintaining subcritical operation.

If RHR loop requirements are not met, actions shall be taken immediately to suspend loading of irradiated fuel assemblies in the core. With no forced circulation cooling, decay heat removal from the core occurs by.natural convection to the heat sink provided by the water above the core.

A minimum refueling water level of 23 ft above the reactor vessel flange provides an adequate available heat sink. Suspending any operation that would increase decay heat load, such as loading a fuel assembly, is a prudent action under this condition.

If RHR loop requirements are not met, actions shall be initiated and continued in order to satisfy RHR loop requirements. With the unit in MODE 6 and the refueling water level > 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, corrective actions shall be initiated immediately.

If RHR loop requirements are not met, all containment penetrations providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere must be closed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. With the RHR loop requirements not met, the potential exists for the coolant to boil and release radioactive gas to the containment atmosphere. Closing containment penetrations that are open to the outside atmosphere ensures dose limits are not exceeded.
