2.0 Nuclear Operating Company the safety evaluation 17,2007 as part of the CLlIP. a review of the NRC as well as the supporting information to support TSTF-448. SNC concluded that the justifications presented in proposal and the safety evaluation by the NRC staff are applicable to I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 justify this amendment for the incorporation the changes to the HNP Units 1 and 2 The Traveler and model Safety Evaluation applicable regulatory requirements and guidance, including the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GOG). HNP Unit 1 was not licensed to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GOC. The HNP Unit 1 construction permit was received under the 70 general criteria, as discussed in section F.3 of the U (Appendix F has since been as historical). The HNP Unit 1 equivalents the referenced GOCs in the model

A quality assurance program shall be established and implemented in to provide adequate assurance that structures, systems, and components will satisfactorily perform their functions. Appropriate records of fabrication, erection, and of structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be maintained by or under the control of the unit licensee throughout the life unit.

HNP Unit 1 Equivalent: 1967 GDC 1 , "Quality Standards" system and components reactor facilities which are to prevention of accidents which the public health and safety or to mitigation of their .l"Ion1'itlol"l and

1 to NL-13-0058 Basis for Proposed Change fabricated, and erected quality standards that reflect the importance of the safety function to be performed. Where generally recognized codes or standards on design, materials, fabrication, and inspection are used, they shall be identified. Where adherence such codes or standards not suffice to assure a quality product in keeping with the safety function, they shall be supplemented or modeled a Quality assurance programs, test procedures, and inspection acceptance levels to be used shall be identified. A showing of sufficiency and applicability of codes, standards, quality assurance programs, test procedures, and inspection acceptance levels used is required.

  • 10 CFR 50 Appendix A Criterion "Design Basis for Protection Against Natural Phenomena" Structures, and components important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions. The design for these structures, systems, and components shall reflect: (1) Appropriate consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that been historically reported for the site and surrounding with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which historical data have been accumulated, (2) appropriate combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with effects of the natural phenomena and (3) the importance of the safety functions to be performed.

HNP Unit 1 Equivalent: 1967 GDC Criterion 2, "Performance Standards" Those systems and components of reactor facilities which are essential to the prevention of accidents which could the public health and safety or to mitigation of their consequences shall be deSigned, fabricated, and erected to performance that will enable the facility to withstand, without loss of the capability to protect the public, the additional forces that might be imposed by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornados, flooding conditions, winds, and other local site effects. The design so established shall reflect: (a)

Appropriate consideration of the most severe of these natural phenomena that have been recorded for the site and the surrounding area and (b) an appropriate margin for withstanding forces than recorded to rClTI""f'T uncertainties about historical data and their suitability as a basis for design.

  • 10 50 Appendix A Criterion 3, Protection" Structures, systems, and components important to designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety the probability and effect of fires and explosions. Noncombustible and heat resistant materials shall be used wherever practical throughout the unit, particularly in locations such as the containment and control room. Fire detection and fighting systems of appropriate capacity and capability shall provided and designed to minimize the effects of fires on structures, systems, and components important to safety. Firefighting systems shall be designed to assure that their rupture or inadvertent operation does not significantly impair safety capability of these structures, systems, and components.

-3 to NL-13-0058 Basis for Proposed Change HNP Unit 1 Equivalent: 1967 GDC Criterion 3, Protection" The reactor facility shall be designed (1) to minimize the probability ot events such as fires and explosions and (2) to minimize the potential effects of such to satety. Noncombustible and fire resistant materials shall be used whenever practical throughout the facility, particularly in areas containing critical portions of the facility such as containment, control room, and components of engineered safety features.

  • 10 CFR 50 Appendix A Criterion 4, "Environmental and Dynamic Effects Design Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions with normal operation, maintenance, testing. and postulated accidents, including loss-ot-coolant accidents. structures, systems, and components shall appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids, that may result from equipment failures and from events and conditions outside the nuclear power unit. However, dynamic with postulated pipe ruptures in nuclear power units may excluded from the design basis when analyses reviewed and approved by the Commission demonstrate that probability of fluid system piping rupture is extremely low under conditions consistent with the deSign basis for the piping.

HNP Unit 1 does not have a direct 1967 Equivalent to 10 CFR 50 Appendix A Criterion 4. However, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), in their letter dated December 1 1972, requested HNP Unit 1 to provide analyses and other relevant information needed to determine the consequences of such an event (Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A), using the guidance provided in the enclosure of the December 1 1 letter. The results of the evaluation are documented in Appendix N of the Unit 1 Appendix N, Section N.7 of the Unit 1 The analysis of postulated high-energy and moderate-energy line failures outside the primary containment as previously discussed in detail has completed.

The following conclusions are drawn:

A. With the plant modifications for additional vent area, no structure or structural element will fail due to pressurization or direct effects from a failure. The resultant environmental atmosphere in any room containing equipment required for shutdown of the reactor is such that the ability of the equipment to perform its required function is not precluded.

B. physical capability for safe shutdown of reactor is maintained for any postulated failure of high-energy or moderate-energy lines. The ability to shut down the reactor also includes the assurance that radioactive releases do not exceed 10 CFR 100 values, mechanical and thermal limits for catastrophic failure of fuel are not exceeded, nuclear and containment system allowed for accidents by applicable codes are to NL-13-0058 Basis for Proposed Change not exceeded, and 10 50, Appendix A, limits for control room personnel are not Although the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant-Unit 1 is designed and constructed to quality standards that makes the failure of high-energy or moderate-energy lines highly unlikely, the analysis presented in this report indicates that with the plant modifications, the plant can withstand the effects of the postulated failures.

plant modifications that were performed are provided in Section N.6.

  • 10 CFR 50 Appendix A Criterion 5, "Sharing of Structures, Systems, and Components" Structures, systems, and components important to shall not shared among nuclear power units unless it can shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their ability to perform their safety functions, including, in event of an accident in one unit, an orderly shutdown and cooldown of the remaining units.

HNP Unit 1 Equivalent: 1967 GOC Criterion "Sharing of Reactor facilities shall not systems or components unless it is shown safety is not impaired by the sharing.

A control room shall provided from which actions can be to operate the nuclear power unit safely under normal conditions and to maintain it in a safe condition under accident conditions, including loss-of-coolant accidents.

Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access and occupancy of the control room accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem whole body, or equivalent to any part of the body, for the duration of the accident. Equipment at appropriate locations outside the control room shall be provided (1) with a design capability for prompt hot shutdown of the reactor, including necessary instrumentation and controls to maintain the unit in a condition during hot shutdown, and (2) with a potential capability for subsequent cold shutdown of the reactor through the use of suitable procedures.

HNP Unit 1 Equivalent: 1967 GOC Criterion 11, "Control Room" The facility shall be provided with a control room from which actions to maintain operational of plant can controlled. Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access, even under accident conditions, to equipment in the control room or other areas as necessary to shut down and maintain control of facility without radiation exposures in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. It shall possible shut the reactor down and maintain it in a condition if access to the control room is lost due to fire or other cause.

to NL-13-0058 Basis for Proposed Change Therefore, these differences do not alter the conclusion that the proposed change is applicable to HNP Unit 1.

HNP Unit 2 was licensed under the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A GOC. The HNP main control room habitability systems are shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2, and are designed to meet 10 CFR 50, Appendix A GOC 19.

Generic Letter 2003-01 requested that SNC confirm the control room meets its design basis.

SNC letter dated September 1, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML062480132) provided confirmation that the HNP control room meets the applicable habitability regulatory requirements (GOC 1, 3, 4, 5, and 19). The NRC stated in response letter dated October 3, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML062580134) that The information you provided also supported the fact that you meet the intent of the GOCs for CRH."

The 10 CFR 10, Appendix A requirements discussed in the Traveler and model Safety Evaluation are therefore applicable to both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

2.2 Optional Changes and Variations SNC is not proposing any variations or deviations from the TS changes described in the TSTF-448, Revision 3, or the applicable parts of the NRC staff's model safety evaluation dated January 17, 2007. Specifically, Evaluations 1, 5, and 6 of Section 3.3 of the model safety evaluation are applicable to HNP, Units 1 and 2. In order to establish standard terminology, "control room envelope" is used in place of "control room."

SNC is proposing the following deviations from the TS Bases changes described in TSTF 448, Revision 3, to provide consistency between the HNP Unit 1 and 2 licensing basis:

1. In the Background section, the second paragraph on page B 3.7-17 of both plants' TS Bases currently ends with the sentence, The charcoal adsorbers provide a holdup period for gaseous iodine, allowing time for decay." SNC is proposing to change this sentence to The charcoal adsorbers provide adsorption of gaseous iodine." This TS Bases change is in addition to the changes proposed in TSTF-448, Revision 3.
2. In the Applicable Safety Analysis section, TSTF-448 proposes to add the sentence, "The analysis of hazardous chemical releases demonstrates that the toxicity limits are not exceeded in the CRE following a hazardous chemical release." SNC is proposing to change this sentence to, "The evaluation of hazardous chemical releases ... " (italics added for effect).
3. In the Actions section for B.1, B.2, and B.3, TSTF-448 proposes to add the sentence "During the period that the CRE boundary is considered inoperable, action must be initiated to implement mitigating actions to lessen the effect on CRE occupants from the potential hazards of a radiological or chemical event or a challenge from smoke."

SNC proposes to add the clarifying statement "in accordance with the Control Room Habitability Program" at the end of this sentence.

4. Because HNP Units 1 and 2 have adopted the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (TSTF-425), the suggested changes for TS Bases SR 3.7.4.3 were not made.

E1-6 to NL-13-0058 Basis for Proposed Change 2.3 License Condition Regarding Initial Performance of New Surveillance and Assessment Requirements SNC proposes the following as a license condition to support implementation of the proposed TS changes. In subpart (a) of the license condition below, SNC provides a surveillance grace period as allowed by SR 3.0.2 of 18 months, which differs from the model application value of 15 months. This discrepancy was noted in an NRC memorandum from C. Craig Harbuck to Timothy J. Kobetz, date February 2,2007 (ADAMS Accession Number ML070330657).

Upon implementation of the Amendments adopting TSTF-448, Revision 3, the determination of control room envelope (CRE) unfiltered air inleakage as required by SR 3.7.4.4, in accordance with TS 5.5.14.c.(i), the assessment of CRE habitability as required by Specification 5.5.14.c.(ii), and the measurement of CRE pressure as required by Specification 5.5.14.d, shall be considered met. Following implementation:

a. The first performance of SR 3.7.4.4, in accordance with Specification 5.5.14.c.(i),

shall be within the specified Frequency of 6 years, plus the 18-month allowance of SR 3.0.2, as measured from June 2, 2006, the date of the most recent successful tracer gas test, as stated in NL-06-1930, Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Response to Generic Letter 2003-01 Control Room Habitability, dated September 1,2006, or within the next 18 months if the time period since the most recent successful tracer gas test is greater than 6 years. Please note that the next HNP tracer gas test is scheduled for January 2014.

b. The first performance of the periodic assessment of CRE habitability, Specification 5.5.14.c.(ii), shall be within 3 years, plus the 9-month allowance of SR 3.0.2, as measured from June 2, 2006, the date of the most recent successful tracer gas test, as stated in I\IL-06-1930, Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Response to Generic Letter 2003-01 Control Room Habitability, dated September 1,2006, or within the next 9 months if the time period since the most recent successful tracer gas test is greater than 3 years. Please note that the next HNP tracer gas test is scheduled for January 2014. The first performance of the periodiC assessment of CRE habitability will be within 3 years, plus the 9-month allowance of SR 3.0.2, of the next successful tracer gas test.
c. The first performance of the periodic measurement of CRE pressure, Specification 5.5.14.d, shall be within 24 months, plus the 6 months allowed by SR 3.0.2 from the date of the most recent successful pressure measurement test, or within 6 months if not performed previously.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

MCREC System B 3.7.4 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.4 Main Control Room Environmental Control (MCREC) System BASES BACKGROUND The MCREC System provides a protected environment from which occupants can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity. hazardous chemicals. or smokeradiologically controlled environment from which the unit can be safely operated following a Design Basis Accident (DBA).

The safety related function of 1OO..MCREC System includes two independent and redundant high efficiency air filtration subsystems for emergency treatment of recirculated air and outside supply air.Jlllii.a Q.RE;_9pUPJ!oo! th?t limi~s_ !b.~.lp l~akgge qJ ulJ.filt~!~dg.ir. Each MCREC subsystem consists of a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section, a second HEPA filter, a booster fan, and the associated ductwork and damporsductwork. valves or dampers, doors, barriers. and

.i.~tLl.JmentalLQn. Additionally, one air handling unit (AHU) fan is required for each subsystem to assist in the pressurization function.

AHU fans are also addressed as part of LCO 3.7.5, "Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System." Prefilters and HEPA filters remove particulate matter, which may be radioactive. The charcoal adsorbers provide a holdup period for.ill1sorotion of gaseous iodine, allO'.ving time for decay.

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.

MCREC System B 3.7.4 BASES (continued)

APPLICABLE The ability of the MCREC System to maintain the habitability of the SAFETY ANALYSES control roomCRE is an explicit assumption for the safety analyses presented in the FSAR, Section 5.2 and Chapter 14 (Refs. 3 and 4, respectively). The pressurization mode of the MCREC System is assumed to operate following a DBAloss of coolant accidont, fuel handling accident, main steam line break, and control rod drop accident, as discussed in the Unit 2 FSAR, Section 6.4.1.2.2 (Ref. 5).

The radiological doses to control room personnelthe CRE occupants as a result of the various DBAs are summarized in Reference 6. No single active or passive failure will cause the loss of outside air or recirculated air from the control roomCRE.

TheJy1CREC System provides protection from smoke and hazardous chemicals to the CRE occupants. The evaluation of hazardous flJ.e!:Dic~I EeJeJ;t!?~§ .d~JJlon~tr:ates tb~~ the tQ.X.icity lim il§..are DQl exceeded in the CRE following a hazardous chemical release (Ref.

12). The evaluation of a smoke cba'tlenge demonstrates that it will not result in the ioability of the CRE occupants to control the reactor either from the cootrol room or from the remote shutdown panels (Ref. 2).

The MCREC System satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement (Ref. 7).

MCREC System B 3.7.4 BASES LCO OPERABILITY of two MCREC subsystems entails satisfying the (continued) requirements listed above for each subsystem and, in addition, satisfying other limitations on AHU fan OPERABILITY. For both MCREC subsystems to be OPERABLE, the two required AHU fans must be independently powered; i.e., one fan via 1R24-S002 and one fan via 1R24-S003. (Note that AHU C is treated as powered from 1R24-S002 or S003, depending upon the source of power for 1R24-S029.) Furthermore, with one of the two required AHU fans inoperable (Le., not independently powered, or not operating or capable of automatic start), one MCREC subsystem shall be declared inoperable. However, the inoperability may be assigned to either MCREC subsystem. OPERABILITY details for various configurations are outlined in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) (Ref. 8),

Each of the main control room exhaust fan ducts is equipped with only one isolation damper (1 Z41-F018A1B). During normal system operation, the dampers are maintained closed. However, when an exhaust fan is operated and its associated damper is opened, a single failure could prevent isolation of that penetration and adversely impact main control room habitability.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the MCREC System must be OPERABLE to control operator exposureensure that the CRE will remain habitable during and following a DBA, since the DBA could lead to a fission product release.

In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of a DBA are reduced because of the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining the MCREC System OPERABLE is not required in MODE 4 or 5, except for the following situations under which significant radioactive releases can be postulated:

a. During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment. Moving irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment may also occur in MODES 1, 2, and 3;
b. During CORE ALTERATIONS; and
c. During operations with apotential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs).

ACTIONS With one MCREC subsystem inoperable, for reasons other than an inoperable CRE boundarY. the inoperable MCREC subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. With the unit in this condition, the remaining OPERABLE MCREC subsystem is adequate to perform control room radiationtb.!l-CB£._o_<!,cJJ.P..an1 protection function. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a sffiWe failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in reduced loss of the ,MCREC System fyogtioncapability. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and that the remaining subsystem can provide the required capabilities.

0.1, 0.2.1. 0.2.2. and 0.2.3 The Required Actions of Condition 0 are modified by a Note indicating that LCO 3.0.3 does not apply. If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the fuel movement is independent of reactor operations. Therefore, inability to suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies is not sufficient reason to require a reactor shutdown.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment, during CORE ALTERATIONS, or during OPDRVs, if the inoperable MCREC subsystem cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the OPERABLE MCREC subsystem may be placed in the pressurization mode. This action ensures that the remaining subsystem is OPERABLE, that no failures that would prevent automatic actuation have occurred, and that any active failure will be readily detected.

An alternative to Required Action 0.1 is to immediately suspend activities that present a potential for releasing radioactivity that might require isolation of the control roomCRE. This places the unit in a condition that minimizes the accident risk.

The safety related function of lh~LMCREC System includes two independent and redundant high efficiency air filtration subsystems for emergency treatment of recirculated air and outside supply air and a gSE boundary that limits the _ iol~akqge of unfiltered air. Each MCRI;C subsystem consists of a prefilter, a high efficiency particu,late air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section, a second HEPA filter, a booster fan, and the associated ductwork and damporsductwork. valves or dampers, doors, barriers, and iostn,u::ne.nta.1i.o_n. Additionally, one air handling unit (AHU) fan is required for each subsystem to assist in the pressurization function.

AHU fans are also addressed as part of LCO 3.7.5, "Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System." Prefilters and HEPA filters remove particulate matter, which may be radioactive. The charcoal adsorbers provide a holdup period foradsorotion of gaseous iodine, allO'.ving time for decay.

The radiological doses to control room personnelthe CRE occupants as a result of the various DBAs are summarized in Reference 6.

MCREC System B 3.7.4 BASES LCO OPERABILITY of two MCREC subsystems entails satisfying the (continued) requirements listed above for each subsystem and, in addition, satisfying other limitations on AHU fan OPERABILITY. For both MCREC subsystems to be OPERABLE, the two required AHU fans must be independently powered; i.e., one fan via 1R24-S002 and one fan via 1R24-S003. (Note that AHU C is treated as powered from 1R24-S002 or S003, depending upon the source of power for 1R24-S029.) Furthermore, with one of the two required AHU fans inoperable (Le., not independently powered, or not operating or capable of automatic start), one MCREC subsystem shall be declared inoperable. However, the inoperability may be assigned to either MCREC subsystem. OPERABILITY details for various configurations are outlined in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) (Ref. 8),

Section 2.0.

In order for the MCREC subsystems to be considered OPERABLE, the CRE boundary must be maintained such that the CRE occupant dose from a large radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licBosing basis consequence analyses for DBAs, and that CRE Q.CCUR.ants....aHLQIQlo_cted {mOl. hazacoQu.s. c.b.emic...aLs...and....s mQk e. ffi addition, the control room boundary must be maintained, including tho integrity of tho walls, floors, seilings, dusp.vork, and access doors, such that tho pressurization limit of SR 3.7.4.4 can be met.

The LCO is modified by a Note allowing the mail control room.cRE boundary to be opened intermittently under administrative controls.

This Note only applies to openings in the CRE boundarv that can be rnpidly restored to the design condition, suclu!s goors, hatches. floor plugs, and access panels. For entry and exit through doors the administrative control of the opening is performed by the person(s) entering or exiting the area. For other openings, these controls should be proceduralized and consist of stationing a dedicated individual at the opening who is in continuous communication with the QReJ..aiQf§ in_.1b.e .-<~EEmain control room. This individual will have a method to rapidly close the opening and to restore the CRE boundarv to a conill1iQn equivalent to the design condition when a need for maffi control roomGRE isolation is indicated.

Each of the main control room exhaust fan ducts is equipped with only one isolation damper (1Z41-F018AJB). During normal system operation, the dampers are maintained closed. However, when an exhaust fan is operated and its associated damper is opened, a single failure could prevent isolation of that penetration and adversely impact main control room habitability. Consequently, when a MCREC system exhaust fan (1Z41-C011A1B) is operated or its associated damper (1 Z41-FO 18A1B) is opened, one of the two MCREC subsystems must be declared inoperable.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the MCREC System must be OPERABLE to aontrol operator exposureensure that the CRE will remain habitable during and following a DBA, since the DBA could lead to a fission product release.

In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of a DBA are reduced because of the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining the MCREC System OPERABLE is not required in MODE 4 or 5, except for the following situations under which significant radioactive releases can be postulated:

a. During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment. Moving irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment may also occur in MODES 1, 2, and 3;
b. During CORE ALTERATIONS; and
c. During operations with a.potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs).

ACTIONS With one MCREC subsystem inoperable, for reasons other than an in-2J2.§.@ble CRE boundary, the inoperable MCREC subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. With the unit in this condition, the remaining OPERABLE MCREC subsystem is adequate to perform ~~RE..Q.Q.Q!J.J;Lg[lJcontrol room radiation protection fl.Jm;JlQn. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a sffiWe failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in roducedloss of the MCREC System fYos:liQQcapability.

F.1, F.2. and F.3 The Required Actions of Condition F are modified by a Note indicating that LCO 3.0.3 does not apply. If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the fuel movement is independent of reactor operations.

Therefore, inability to suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies is not sufficient reason to require a reactor shutdown .

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment, during CORE ALTERATIONS, or during OPDRVs, with two MCREC subsystems inoperable or with one or more MCREC sUbsystems inoperable due to an inoperable CRE boundary, action must be taken immediately to suspend activities that present a potential for releasing radioactivity that might require isolation of the CREcontrol room . This places the unit in a condition that minimizes thf3 gC.9~df3 f!Lrisk.

If applicable, CORE ALTERATIONS and movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment must be suspended immediately. Suspension of these activities shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position. If applicable, action must be initiated immediately to suspend OPDRVs to minimize the probability of a vessel draindown and subsequent potential for fission product release.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.4.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that a subsystem in a standby mode starts on demand and continues to operate. Standby systems should be checked periodically to ensure that they start and function properly.

As the environmental and normal operating conditions of this system are not severe, testing each subsystem once every 31 days provides an adequate check on this system. Since the MCREC System does not have heaters, each subsystem need only be operated for

~ 15 minutes to demonstrate the function of the subsystem. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.7.4.2 This SR verifies that the required MCREC testing is performed in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP). The VFTP includes testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, minimum system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal (general use and following specific operations) .

Specific test Efrequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

SR 3.7.4.3 This SR verifies that on an actual or simulated initiation signal , each MCREC subsystem starts and operates. The LOGIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST in SR 3.3.7.1.4 overlaps this SR to provide complete testing of the safety function. This Surveillance can be performed with the reactor at power. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.7.4.4 This SR verifies the integrity of the control room enclosure and the assumed inleakage rates of potentially contaminated air. The control room positive pressure, ,,"ith respect te potentially contaminated adjacent areas (the turbine building), is periodically tested to verify proper function of the MCREC System. During the pressurization mode of operation, the MCREC System is designed to slightly pressurize the control room> 0.1 inches water gauge positive pressure with respect to the turbine building to prevent unfiltered inleakage.
