This letter provides revised Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) discussions and Technical Specification (TS) and Technical Specification Bases (TSB) changes associated with the Design Basis Accident (DBA) discussion for the Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2. The changes to the WBN Unit 2 documents provide consistency with the recently approved amendment issued for WBN Unit 1 (Reference 1).

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 December 12, 2013 WBN Unit 1 submitted a license amendment request to implement the Alternate Source Term (AST) methodology for the FHA. The amendment included TS and TSB changes to remove the requirements for certain safety-related filtration systems to be operable during refueling because no credit was taken for radionuclide removal by those systems in the FHA. By Reference 3, WBN Unit 2 submitted a FHA based on the AST methodology for a dropped fuel assembly in the Auxiliary Building and in the containment when the containment was not isolated. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determined that the WBN Unit 2 FHA analysis was acceptable in NUREG-0847 Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SSER) 25, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2."

The WBN Unit 1 FHA Amendment did not include a specific evaluation for the case when the primary containment is closed and the purge system is in operation because the results from the containment closed case are clearly bounded by the containment open case. The WBN 2 FSAR currently includes a dose analysis for the FHA with the containment closed based on Regulatory Guide 1.25 guidance. This letter provides a revised WBN Unit 2 FHA FSAR Section 15.5.6 discussion consistent with the approved Unit 1 License Amendment Request (LAR). This change removes the discussion of the Regulatory Guide 1.25 analysis for the closed containment case. Changes to the Unit 2 TS and TSB to be consistent with the approved Unit 1 TS and TSB are provided.

Changes to WBN Unit 2 FSAR Chapters 6 and 9 that remove the mitigation of an FHA as a design basis for the safety related filtration systems consistent with the WBN Unit 1 Amendment are also provided. provides a discussion of changes to the FHA analysis currently described in the FSAR.

Enclosures 2 through 5 provide red-line markup and final versions of FSAR Sections in Chapters 6, 9, and 15. Enclosures 6 through 9 provide the red-lined markup and final versions of the WBN Unit 2 TS and TSB consistent with Reference 1. Enclosure 10 shows the deletion of Technical Requirements Manual Section 3.9.1, "Decay Time."

This requirement has been moved to a new TS Section 3.9.8, "Decay Time."

The FSAR changes will be incorporated in Amendment 111. This is a new regulatory commitment. If you have any questions, please call me at (423) 365-2004.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 12th day of December, 2013.

Enclosure 1 WBN Unit 2 Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Dose Analysis The Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) was updated to use the Alternate Source Term (AST) described in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183 for an event in the spent fuel pool located in the Auxiliary Building or in the containment when the equipment hatch, or both doors in a personnel air lock, are open. The analysis for a dropped fuel assembly inside containment when the containment air locks and equipment hatch are closed continued to use the methodology of RG-1.25. This change was approved by the NRC as documented in NUREG-0847 Supplement 25, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2."

Subsequently, WBN Unit 1 submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) to selectively implement the AST for the FHA. The NRC approved this request June 19, 2013, as Amendment 92. The WBN Unit 1 LAR presented two cases. Case 1 was the FHA at the Spent Fuel Pool. Case 2 was an FHA in containment with the containment open. The discussion of the FHA with the containment isolated was removed from the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) by Amendment 92. The refueling mode Limiting Condition for Operation and associated Surveillance Requirements for the Purge System and the Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System were removed from the Technical Specifications (TS) because no credit was taken in the analyses for the filtration units. The approval for these changes was included in Amendment 92.

The WBN Unit 2 FSAR, TS and TS Bases are being revised to match those of WBN Unit 1. For WBN Unit 2, the discussion of the RG 1.25 analysis of the containment closed FHA is being removed from the FSAR. A table will be added in WBN Unit 2 FSAR, Section 15.5, providing the results for the containment open case to be consistent with what was done for WBN Unit 1.

The WBN Unit 2 FSAR tables will not include the values for fuel with Tritium Producing Burnable Adsorber Rods (TPBARS), because they are not part of the WBN Unit 2 design basis. The WBN Unit 1 analyses were performed using the same meteorological data (X/Q) and wind speeds that form the basis for the WBN Unit 2 FSAR, Section 15.5 dose analyses. Thus, the results are consistent with the WBN Unit 2 AST approval documented in SSER 25.

The evaluation for the FHA at the spent fuel pool is a bounding analysis for a dropped assembly in containment when the containment is open or closed. The release point for the containment purge system is the WBN Unit 2 shield building stack. The X/Qs are lower for this release point than the normal Auxiliary Building exhaust. In addition, any release from the shield building stack would go through the purge system High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and charcoal filter assemblies prior to release. Currently, when the purge lines isolate on high radiation, the Auxiliary Building also isolates and the Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS) is actuated. The release point for ABGTS is the shield building stacks, and the releases are filtered through HEPA and charcoal assemblies. Thus, the AST analysis for the FHA in the Auxiliary Building that considers no filtration and no Auxiliary Building isolation is conservative and acceptable as the basis for the containment open evaluation. When the purge valves close at approximately 12.7 seconds with the containment closed, any further release of radioactivity would be terminated. If the purge valves did not close and the releases continued from the shield building stack, the results would be bounded by the FHA in the Auxiliary Building.

E1-1

Enclosure 1 WBN Unit 2 Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Dose Analysis This change is determined to be acceptable because:

1) If the containment closed case were evaluated using the AST, the results would be bounded by the cases currently presented in the FSAR, and

2) This will bring the WBN Unit 2 FSAR discussion of this event into agreement with the recently approved WBN Unit 1 LAR.

As part of this selective implementation of AST, the following changes are assumed in the analysis:

• The total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) acceptance criterion of 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2) replaces the previous whole body and thyroid dose guidelines of 10 CFR 100.11.

• The gap activity is revised to be consistent with RG-1.183.

" The decontamination factors were changed to be consistent with RG-1.183.

• New onsite (control room) and offsite atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q) are used.

" The time to isolate the control room is increased from 20.6 seconds to 40 seconds.

• No Auxiliary Building isolation is assumed.

• No filtration of the release from the Containment or the spent fuel pool to the environment by the containment purge filters or the ABGTS is assumed.

The WBN design includes a secondary containment that is designed to limit any potential radioactive leakage to the outside environment following a Design Basis Accident (DBA). The secondary containment consists of the concrete shield building that encloses the steel primary containment and the portion of the Auxiliary Building called the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure. The Secondary Containment is described in FSAR Section 6.2.3. The secondary containment structures work in conjunction with safety related ventilation systems and the appropriate isolation of normal ventilation systems to perform its safety functions. In addition to the descriptions in FSAR section 6.2.3, the air clean-up and filtration systems are described in FSAR Section 6.5. The DBA Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) is the accident that generally dictates the basis for the design of the Secondary Containment.

In addition to the LOCA, the FHA analyses performed based on RG-1.25 that were part of the original licensing basis for WBN resulted in safety functions being defined for the Secondary Containment. If an FHA occurred either in the Auxiliary Building or in primary containment, the ABGTS was required to start and the Auxiliary Building normal ventilation system isolated. A discussion of the Auxiliary Building Ventilation System is provided in FSAR Sections 9.4.2 and 9.4.3. If the FHA occurred in the primary containment, credit was taken for the Reactor Building Purge Filtration system in the FSAR Chapter 15 dose analysis. A general description of the Reactor Building Purge System is provided in FSAR Section 9.4.6. The FHA based on the AST does not credit containment or Auxiliary Building isolation. No credit is taken for the high efficiency particulate and charcoal filter systems associated with the ABGTS and the purge system. The approved WBN Unit 1 amendment removed the TS requirements associated with refuel mode operation for these systems. The WBN Unit 2 FSAR revisions associated with the approved WBN Unit 1 TS changes are provided in this submittal.

FSAR Section 6.2.4.3 on containment isolation discusses administrative controls to manually close the ice blowing penetrations in the event of an FHA in containment. The updated FHA based on the AST does not require containment isolation to meet dose criteria. This section has been revised accordingly.

E1-2

Enclosure I WBN Unit 2 Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Dose Analysis The following summarizes the specific changes to the FSAR and TS.

1. Update FSAR Section 15.5.6 to remove the RG-1.25 based analysis of a FHA in containment with the containment isolated except for the purge system.

2. Revise FSAR Sections 6.2.3.1.1 and 6.2.3.1.3 to remove the FHA as a design basis for the Secondary Containment and ABGTS.

3. Revise FSAR Section 6.2.4.3 to remove the administrative requirement to manually isolate the ice blowing penetrations for an FHA.

4. Revise FSAR Sections 6.5.1.1.3 and 6.5.1.2.3 to remove the discussion of the Reactor Building Purge System design basis for the FHA.

5. Revise FSAR Section 9.4.2.3 to remove the requirement for the Auxiliary Building normal ventilation system to isolate for an FHA.

6. Revise FSAR Section 9.4.6 on the Reactor Building Purge System to remove the FHA as a design basis for the system.

TS 3.9.10 ensures that the irradiated fuel meets the minimum decay time established in the radiological analysis of the FHA.

8. Modify WBN Unit 2 TS 3.3.6, "Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation"; TS 3.3.8, "Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS) Actuation Instrumentation"; and TS 3.7.12, "Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)", to eliminate the requirements associated with movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the containment or the fuel handling area. Modify associated TS Bases.

9. Eliminate TS 3.9.4, "Containment Penetrations", and TS 3.9.8, "Reactor Building Purge Air Cleanup Units".

10. Modify WBN Unit 2 TS 5.7.2.14 to remove RG-1.52 testing of the Reactor Building Purge HEPA and Charcoal Filter Units.

11. Modify WBN Unit 2 TS 5.7.2.20 to incorporate the Control Room dose limit defined in 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2)(iii).

12. Modify TS Bases 3.6.1, "Containment Penetrations"; 3.6.2, "Containment Air Locks";

and 3.6.3, "Containment Isolation Valves", to eliminate isolation requirements during fuel movement inside containment. Delete TS Bases 3.9.4.

13. Modify TS Bases 3.7.13, "Spent Fuel Pool Level," and 3.9.7, "Reactor Cavity Water Level," to update references associated with AST.

Alte ate.. -ourc- term-,(A^T) The AST described in RG 1.183 was selectively used to evaluate the FHA due to an event in the spent fuel pool located in the Auxiliary Building or in the containment when the equipment hatch or both doors in a personnel air lock are open.

As part of this selective implementation of AST, the following assumptions are used in the analysis:

• The total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) acceptance criterion of 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2) replaces the previous whole body and thyroid dose guidelines of 10 CFR 100.11.

" The gap activity is revised to be consistent with that required by RG 1.183.

Enclosure 3 WBN Unit 2 - Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Final E3-1

Enclosure 3 WBN Unit 2 - Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Final 15.5.6 Environmental Consequences of a Postulated Fuel Handling Accident The analysis of the fuel handling accident considers two cases. The first case is for an accident in the spent fuel pool area located in the Auxiliary Building. This case is evaluated using the Alternate Source Term based on Regulatory Guide 1.183118], "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors." The second case considered is an open containment case for an accident inside containment where there is open communication between the containment and the Auxiliary Building. This evaluation is also based on the AST and Regulatory Guide 1.183. The parameters used for this analysis are listed in Table 15.5-20.a.

The bases for evaluation are:

(1) The accident occurs 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> after plant shutdown. Radioactive decay of the fission product inventory during the interval between shutdown and placement of the first spent fuel assembly into the spent fuel pit is taken into account.

(2) Damage was assumed for all rods in one assembly.

(3) The assembly damaged is the highest powered assembly in the core region to be discharged. The values for individual fission product inventories in the damaged assembly are calculated assuming full-power operation at the end of core life immediately preceding shutdown. Nuclear core characteristics used in the analysis are given in Table 15.5-21. A radial peaking factor of 1.65 is used.

(4) All of the gap activity in the damaged rods is released to the spent fuel pool and consists of 8% 1-131, 10% Kr-85, and 5% of other noble gases and other halogens.

(5) Noble gases released to the Auxiliary Building spent fuel pool are released through the Auxiliary Building vent to the environment.

(6) The iodine gap inventory is composed of inorganic species (99.85%) and organic species (0.15%).

(7) The overall inorganic and organic iodine spent fuel pool decontamination factor is 200.

(8) All iodine escaping from the Auxiliary Building spent fuel pool is exhausted unfiltered through the Auxiliary Building vent.

(9) The release path for the containment scenario is changed to include 12.7 seconds of unfiltered release through the Shield Building vent, with the remainder of the unfiltered release through the Auxiliary Building vent.

(10) No credit is taken for the ABGTS or Containment Purge System Filters in the analysis.

(11) No credit is taken for natural decay either due to holdup in the Auxiliary Building or after the activity has been released to the atmosphere.

E3-2

Enclosure 3 WBN Unit 2 - Revised FSAR Section 15.5 Final (12) The short-term (i.e., 0-2 hour) atmospheric dilution factors at the exclusion area boundary and low population zone given in Table 15A-2 are used. The thyroid dose utilizes ICRP-30 [25] iodine dose conversion factors. Doses are based on the dose models presented in Appendix 15A.

15.5.6.3 Fuel Handling Accident Results The radiation dose results of the Regulatory Guide 1.183 fuel handling accident (FHA) are given in Table 15.5-23. The AST described in RG 1.183 was selectively used to evaluate the FHA due to an event in the spent fuel pool located in the Auxiliary Building or in the containment when the equipment hatch or both doors in a personnel air lock are open. As part of this selective implementation of AST, the following assumptions are used in the analysis:

• The total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) acceptance criterion of 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2) replaces the previous whole body and thyroid dose guidelines of 10 CFR 100.11.

• The gap activity is revised to be consistent with that required by RG 1.183.

" The decontamination factors were changed to be consistent with those required by RG.

1.183.

" No Auxiliary Building isolation is assumed.

" No filtration of the release from the Containment or the spent fuel pool to the environment by the Containment Purge filters or the ABGTS is assumed.

The evaluation for the FHA at the spent fuel pool is a bounding analysis for a dropped assembly in containment when the containment is open or closed. The release point for the containment purge system is the Unit 2 shield building stack. The X/Qs are lower for this release point than for the normal auxiliary building exhaust. The AST analysis for the FHA in the Auxiliary Building is conservative and acceptable as the basis for the containment evaluation.

The thyroid, gamma, and beta doses for FHAs in the Auxiliary and the open containment are given in Table 15.5-23 for the exclusion area boundary and low population zone. These doses are less than the 10 CFR 50.67 limit of 6.3 rem TEDE. These doses are calculated using the computer code FENCDOSE [16].

The whole body, beta, and thyroid doses to control room personnel from the radiation sources discussed above are presented in Table 15.5-23. The doses are calculated by the COROD computer code [17]. Parameters for the control room analysis are found in Table 15.5-14. The dose to control room personnel is below the 10CFR 50.67 limit of 5 rem TEDE.

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 6.2.3 Secondary Containment Functional Design Structures included as part of the secondary containment system are the Shield Building of each reactor unit, the Auxiliary Building, the Condensate Demineralizer Waste Evaporator (CDWE) Building and the essential raw cooling water (ERCW) pipe tunnels adjacent to the Auxiliary Building. Depending on the configuration of the plant, the Primary Containment Building(s) may also be included as a structure which is part of the secondary containment system. This condition exists when the primary containment is open to the Auxiliary Building.

The emergency gas treatment system (EGTS) is provided for ventilation control and cleanup of the atmosphere inside the annulus between the Shield Building and the Primary Containment Building. The Reactor Building purge air system is also available for cleaning up the atmosphere inside the Shield Building Annulus. Refer to Section 9.4.6 for further details relating to the purge air system. The Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS) provides a similar contamination control capability in the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE),which includes all of the areas listed above.

6.2.3.1 Design Bases 6.2.3.1.1 Secondary Containment Enclosures Design bases for the secondary containment structures were devised to assure that an effective barrier exists for airborne fission products that may leak from the primary containment, or the Auxiliary Building fuel handling area, during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA),-eF-a-fuel handling a,.id.. t (FH)" . Within the scope of these design bases are requirements that influence the size, structural integrity, and leak tightness of the secondary containment enclosure. Specifically, these include a capability to: (a) maintain an effective barrier for gases and vapors that may leak from the primary containment during all normal and abnormal events; (b) delay the release of any gases and vapors that may leak from the primary containment during accidents; (c) allow gases and vapors that may leak through the primary containment during accidents to flow into the contained air volume within the secondary containment where they are diluted, held up, and purified prior to being released to the environs; (d) bleed to the secondary containment each air-filled containment penetration enclosure which extends beyond the Shield Building and which is formed by automatically actuated isolation valves; (e) maintain an effective barrier for airborne radioactive contaminants, gases, and vapors originating in the ABSCE during normal and abnormal events. Refer to Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 for further details relating to the design of the Shield Building and the Auxiliary Building.

6.2.3.1.3 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

The design bases for the ABGTS are:

1. To establish and keep an air pressure that is below atmospheric within the portion of the buildings serving as a secondary containment enclosure during accidents.

2. To reduce the concentration of radioactive nuclides in air releases from the secondary containment enclosures to the environs during accidents to levels sufficiently low to keep the site boundary and LPZ dose rates below the 10 CFR 100 guideline values.

3. To minimize the spreading of airborne radioactivity within the Auxiliary Building following an accidental release in the fuel handling and waste packaging areas.

ABGTS is not required to mitigate the consequences of a fuel handling accident.

4. To withstand the safe shutdown earthquake.

E4-2

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4

5. To provide for initial and periodic testing of the system capability to function as designed (See Chapter 14.0 for information on initial testing of systems).

(3) Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE)

The Auxiliary Building secondary containment enclosure (ABSCE) is that portion of the Auxiliary Building and CDWE Building (and for certain configurations, the annulus and primary containment, as discussed below) which serves to maintain an effective barrier for airborne radioactive contaminants released in the auxiliary building during abnormal events. Mechanical and electrical penetrations of this enclosure are provided with seals to minimize infiltration.

[Text for next 3 paragraphs no provided as no changes were needed]

During periods when the primary containment and/or annulus of both units are open to the Auxiliary Building, the ABSCE also includes these areas.

L'ikeve, a A Containment Isolation Phase A (Sl Signal) from the operating unit or high temperature in the Unit 1 or Unit 2 Auxiliary Building air intake, or manual ABI will cause a CVI signal in the refueling unit. These actions will ensure proper operation of the ABSCE. Both doors of the containment vessel personnel airlocks may be open at the same time during refueling activities while the purge air ventilation system is operating. During fuel handling operations in this configuration, a high radiation signal from spent fuel pool radiation monitors will result in a Containment Ventilation Isolation (CVI) in addition to an Auxiliary Building isolation and ABGTS start. Similarly, a CVI signal, including a CVI signal generated by a high radiation signal from the containment purge air exhaust radiation monitors, will initiate an Auxiliary Building isolation and start of ABGTS.

These are not required functions for the ABGTS and the Reactor Building Purge System filters or for Purge System isolation as no credit for these features is in mitigating a fuel handling accident. Under .p...a! admi*nit*r;ate cOntr.l., one e.

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 containment of both units is open to the Auxiliary Building spaces, a CVI in one unit will initiate a CVI in the other unit in order to maintain those spaces open to the ABSCE.

6.2.3.2.3 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

The ABGTS is a fully redundant air cleanup network provided to reduce radioactive nuclide releases from the secondary containment enclosure during accidents. It does this by drawing air from the fuel handling and waste packaging areas through ducting normally used for ventilation purposes to air cleanup equipment, and then directing this air to the reactor unit vent. In doing so, this system draws air from all parts of the ABSCE to establish a negative pressure region in which virtually no unprocessed air passes from this secondary containment enclosure to the atmosphere.

During periods when the primary containment and/or annulus of both units are open to the Auxiliary Building, the ABSCE also includes these areas. The ABGTS has been designed to establish a negative pressure in these additional areas for this configuration. During fuel handling operations in this configuration, a high radiation signal from the spent fuel pool radiation monitors will result in a Containment Ventilation Isolation (CVI) in addition to an Auxiliary Building isolation and ABGTS start. Similarly, a CVI signal, including a CVI signal generated by a high radiation signal from the containment purge air exhaust radiation monitors, will initiate an Auxiliary Building isolation and start of ABGTS.

Likewise, a Containment Isolation Phase A (SI Signal) from the operating unit or high temperature in the Unit 1 or Unit 2 Auxiliary Building air intake, or manual ABI will cause a CVI signal in the refueling unit. These actions will ensure proper operation of the ABSCE. However, as an added precaution to protect the ABGTS operational boundary, operational action is needed to ensure the closure of the containment purge exhaust isolation valves (system valves not containment isolation valves) which are controlled by hand switches. In the case where containment of both units is open to the Auxiliary Building spaces, a CVI in one unit will initiate a CVI in the other unit in order to maintain those spaces open to the ABSCE.

E4-4

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 6.2.3.3.3 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

The ABGTS has the capabilities needed to preserve safety in accidents as severe as a LOCA. This was determined by conducting functional analyses of the system to verify that the system has the proper features for accident mitigation which consist of a failure modes and effects analysis, a review of Regulatory Guide 1.52 sections to assure licensing requirement conformance, and a performance analysis to verify that the system has the desired accident mitigation capabilities. A detailed failure modes and effects analysis is presented in Table 6.2.3-3.

The functional analyses conducted on the ABGTS have shown that:

1. The air intakes for the system are properly located to minimize accident effects.

The use of the air intakes provided in the fuel handling and waste disposal areas minimizes the spread of airborne contamination that may be accidentally released at these positions in which the probability of an accidental release, e.g.,

a fuel handling accident, is more likely. This localization effect is provided without reducing the effectiveness of the system to cope with multiple activity released throughout the ABSCE that may occur during a LOCA. Such coverage is accomplished by utilizing the normal ventilation ducting to draw outside air inleakage from any point along the secondary containment enclosure to the fuel handling and waste disposal areas.

2. Accident indication signals are utilized to bring the ABGTS into operation to assure that the system functions when needed to mitigate accident effects.

Accidents in which this system is needed to preserve safety are automatically detected by at least one of the three instrumentation sets used to generate accident signals that result in system startup.

3. System startup reliability is very high. The practice of allowing the automatic startup of both full capacity trains in the system gives greater assurance that one train of equipment functions upon receipt of an accident signal.

4. The method adopted to establish and keep the negative pressure level within this secondary containment enclosure minimizes the time needed to reach the desired pressure level. Initially, the full capacity of the ABGTS fans is utilized for this purpose. After reaching the desired operating level, the system control module allows outside air to enter the air flow network just upstream of the fan at a rate to keep the fans operating at full capacity with the enclosed volume at the desired negative pressure level. In this situation, the amount of air withdrawn from the enclosed volume is equal to the amount of outside air inleakage through the ABSCE. In addition, two vacuum breaker dampers in series are provided to admit outside air in case the modulating dampers fail.

5. The ABSCE is maintained at a slightly negative pressure to reduce the amount of unprocessed air escaping from this secondary containment enclosure to the atmosphere to insignificant quantities. In addition, this negative pressure level is less than that which is maintained within the annulus; such that, any air leakage between the Auxiliary Building and the Shield Building is from the Auxiliary Building into the Shield Building.

E4-5

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4

6. The Train A and Train B air cleanup units are sufficiently separated from each other to eliminate the possibility of a single failure destroying the capability to process Auxiliary Building air prior to its release to the atmosphere. Two concrete walls and a distance of more than 80 feet separate the two trains. The use of separate trains of the emergency power system to drive the air cleanup trains gives further assurance of proper equipment separation.

The review of the ABGTS conducted to determine its conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 has shown that this system, designed prior to issuance of the guide, is in general agreement with its requirements. Details on compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 are given in Table 6.5-2.

The performance analysis conducted to verify that the ABGTS has the required accident mitigation capabilities has shown that the system flow rate is sized properly to handle all expected outside air inleakage at a 1/4-inch water gauge negative pressure differential. This indicates that the nominal flow rate of 9000 cfm is sufficient to assure an adequate margin above the expected ABSCE inleakage (ACU filters are replaced as needed to maintain a minimum flow capability of 9300 cfm under surveillance instructions).

The performance analysis evaluated the capability of the ABGTS to reach and maintain a negative pressure of 1/4-inch water gauge with respect to the outside within the boundaries of the ABSCE. The following was utilized in the analysis:

1. Leakage into the ABSCE is proportional to the square root of the pressure differential.

2. Only one air cleanup unit in the ABGTS operates at the rated capacity.

3. The air cleanup unit fan begins to operate 30 seconds after the initiation of an ABI signal, Or a high .adiati.n.ig.Ral(Seo Sotion 6.2*2..2*).

4. The initial static pressure inside the ABSCE is conservatively considered to be atmospheric pressure, although the ABSCE is under a negative pressure during normal operation.

5. The effective pressure head due to wind equals 1/8-inch water gauge.

6. Initial average air temperature inside the ABSCE equals 140 0 F.

7. Atmospheric temperature and pressure are 70°F and 14.4 psia, respectively.

8. ABSCE isolation dampers/valves close within 30 seconds after receiving an ABI or a high radiation signal, S*copt fG" tho fuol handling a..a ".hau.t damp,..

9. The non-safety-related general ventilation and fuel handling area exhaust fans are designed to shut down automatically following a LOCA. Each fan is provided with a safety related Class 1E primary circuit breaker and a safety related Class E4-6

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 1E shunt trip isolation switch which is tripped by a signal of the opposite train from that for the primary circuit breaker to ensure that power is isolated from the fan.

6.2.4.3 Design Evaluation The containment isolation systems are designed to present a double barrier to any flow path from the inside to the outside of the containment using the double-barrier approach to meet the single-failure criterion.

(e) The design configuration for penetrations X-79A (ice blowing), and X-79B (negative return) is temporarily modified in operating Modes 5 and 6 and when the reactor is defueled (Mode 7) to support ice blowing activities. The normally closed blind flange on each penetration will be opened and temporary piping will be installed in the penetrations. A 12-inch silicone seal will be installed between the piping segment and the penetration. Manual isolation valves will be connected to the piping on the inboard and outboard side of the penetrations. This configuration is being installed to permit ice blowing operations to occur concurrently with fuel handling activities inside containment. Admo, *,tr.atko c. ntrol. ;Aill .n.uro tiN,,

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 9.4.2.3 Safety Evaluation A fuel handling accident in the Auxiliary Building is detected by the two gamma radiation detectors mounted above the fuel pool, as shown in Figure 9.4-12. The high radiation signals via redundant trains will then shut off the fuel handling and Auxiliary Building general supply and exhaust fans and start the ABGTS, as shown in Figures 9.4-9 and 9.4-10. No credit is taken in the dose or accident analyses for these functions. To a.ccmplish its :f" funt.ction following 3 fu'-" handling acid.nt,, The fuel handling area ventilation system m44st will accomplish the following functions:

(1) Isolate the normal ventilation pathways between the spent fuel pool and the environment.

(2) Filter the contaminants out of the air by the ABGTS before exhausting it to the environment.

The two redundant radiation monitors (non-safety-related) located above the spent fuel pit assure that the accident is promptly detected and that a high radiation signal is provided to each ventilation train, even if one monitor fails. Also, during refueling operations when containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, a Containment Vent Isolation (CVI) signal from either the operating or refueling unit is procedurally configured to assure that a fuel handling accident in containment is promptly detected and the CVI signal is provided to each ventilation train.

In addition, the Auxiliary Building radiation monitor (non-safety related) which monitors the Auxiliary Building exhaust vent is also capable of providing a high radiation signal to the MCR. A high radiation signal from either of the monitors located above the spent fuel pit or a operating or refueling unit CVI signal whenever containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces during refueling operations causes the fuel handling area (FHA) and Auxiliary Building general supply and exhaust fans to shut down and their associated dampers to close, as shown in Figures 9.4-9 and 9.4-10. Each of the two FHA exhaust fans has both train A and train B dampers, to ensure building isolation in the event of one damper's failure to close.

As an added safety feature, all ABSCE boundary isolation dampers are designed to fail-closed on loss of instrument air or electrical power.

E4-12

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 9.4.6 Reactor Building Purge Ventilating System (RBPVS) 9.4.6.1 Design Bases The RBPVS is designed to maintain the environment in the primary containment and Shield Building annulus within acceptable limits for equipment operation and for personnel access during inspection, testing, maintenance, and refueling operations, and to provide a filtration path for any through-duct outleakage from the primary containment to limit the release of radioactivity to the environment.

The RBPVS performs three distinct functions, the forced air purge function, the continuous pressure relief function, and the alternate containment pressure relief function.

The forced air purge function is performed by a purge supply and purge exhaust system consisting of two trains, each of which is designed to provide 50% of the capacity needed for normal purging. Each train consists of a supply fan, an exhaust fan, a HEPA filter-charcoal adsorber assembly, containment isolation valves and associated dampers and ductwork. This function provides a means by which containment air may be forcibly exchanged and filtered.

The purge function provides a means by which containment air may be forcibly exchanged and filtered. The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function. HowoYor, the filtFation units are roguired to provide a safot reated filtration path following a fuel handling acr.ddon until all conta:nment ico~ation valves are clocod. The safety functions are to assure isolation of primary containment during an accident and to isolate the purge air supply intake upon receipt of an Auxiliary Building Isolation (ABI) signal.

In the case of a fuel handling accident the filtration units provide a filtration path following a fuel handling accident until all containment isolation valves are closed. However, neither the filtration nor the isolation functions are credited in the Fuel Handling Dose Analysis. Thus they are not safety functions for this accident.

During Operating Modes 1 thru 5, continuous pressure relief is provided by a passive ducting system which passes through containment penetration X-80, through two 100% redundant containment vent air cleanup units (CVACU) containing HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.

Containment air is moved into the annulus by the motive force created by differential pressure between the two spaces. Filtration redundancy allows maintenance on one unit at a time while maintaining an open pathway through the other. This ventilation pathway is isolable using containment isolation valves FCV-30-40 and FCV-30-37 which are closed d-"ng Mede 6 r when containment isolation is required. This system is not required for f*ue handling accident mnitigation aRd is not available for that pWeurpo cic ie t ie ocentially i*rlated by containment icol-atio~n valves duNrng fuel leading or handling artivtioc (Mode 6).

The alternate pressure relief function is provided by way of a configuration alignment in the forced air purge system. This function is accomplished by opening lower compartment purge lines (one supply and one exhaust) or one of the two pairs of lines (one supply and one exhaust) in the upper compartment. During purging mode, the purge air fans may or may not be used. To prevent inadvertent pressurization of containment due to supply and exhaust side ductwork flow imbalances, the supply ductwork airflow may be temporarily throttled as needed.

The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function. H1owever, the filtration unite arreqird to pFGYide a safety related filtration path following a fuel handling accidet E4-13

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 The design bases include provisions to:

(1) Supply fresh air for breathing and contamination control when the primary containment or annulus is occupied.

(2) Exhaust primary containment and annulus air to the outdoors whenever the purge air supply system is operated.

(3) Clean up containment exhaust during normal operation by routing the air through HEPA-carbon filter trains before release to the atmosphere to limit potential release of radioactivity to the environment.

(4) Provide a reduced quantity of ventilating air to permit occupancy of the instrument room during reactor operation. The provisions for 1, 2, and 3 above will apply.

(5) Assure closure of primary and secondary containment isolation valves following accidents which result in the initiation of a containment ventilation isolation signal.

(6) Assure closure of the system air intake dampers, which form part of the ABSCE (see Section 6.2.3.2.1), upon receipt of a signal for Auxiliary Building isolation.

(7) Provide continuous containment pressure relief path through HEPA-carbon filter trains before release to the atmosphere during normal operations.

Items 5 and 6 above are safety-related functions, except in the case of the fuel handling accident.

The primary containment penetrations for the ventilation supply and exhaust subsystems are designed to primary containment structural standards. These are discussed in detail in Section 6.2.4.

The RBPVS is sized to maintain an acceptable working environment within the containment during all normal operations. The system has the capabilities to provide a filtration path for outleakage from the primary containment, and clean up containment atmosphere following a design basis accident. It also has provisions to filter air flow exhausted from containment for pressure control, during normal operation.

The controls are designed to have simultaneous starting and stopping of the matching supply and exhaust equipment and to initiate an automatic shutdown and isolation upon receipt of the containment ventilation isolation signal.

In addition, RBPVS supply fans will shut down and the ABSCE isolation dampers in purge air supply ducts will close on an ABI signal.

The RBPVS ";ir c.oanUp equipmpent acu-Fog that "t"'.ty r.loARod ineido.. ntainm.nt from a rnfueling anccient anRd p*rAWor conWAnment isolation, is proGsed through both HE-Pn A finn tr -and c~arbon adeorbere5 before reloase to the atmoephero.

Enclosure 4 WBN Unit 2 Red-line Markup of FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 The RBPVS components are designed or qualified to meet Seismic Category I requirements, except all purge ductwork within the containment, up to the inboard isolation valves, and the supply air ductwork from the downstream flange of the ABSCE isolation dampers to the upstream flange of the Shield Building isolation valves, which are designed to meet Seismic Category I(L) requirements.

The primary containment exhaust is monitored by redundant radiation detectors which provide automatic RBPVS isolation upon detecting the setpoint radioactivity in the exhaust air stream.

The RBPVS isolation valves automatically close upon the actuation of a containment ventilation isolation signal or upon manual actuation from the MCR. In addition, during fuel handling operations in the Auxiliary Building with containment and/or the annulus open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, the RBPVS isolation valves will close upon a high radiation signal from the spent fuel pool radiation monitors via a CVI signal from the operating or refueling unit.

The system air supply and exhaust ducts are routed through the Shield Building annulus to several primary containment penetrations. Two air supply locations are provided for each of the upper and lower compartments and one for the instrument room. Air is supplied to areas of low potential radioactivity and is allowed to flow to the air pickup exhaust points in areas of higher potential radioactivity. The air pickup points, located to exhaust air from the lower compartment and instrument room, also provide an air sweep across the surface of the refueling canal...

The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function-:eweve 7, and the filtration units are not required to provide a safety-related filtration path following a fuel handling accident.

The primary containment isolation valves and intermediate piping of the RBPVS are designed in accordance with ANS safety class 2A; other portions are designated ANS safety class 2B except the purge fans, all purge ductwork within the containment, purge supply air ductwork from the ABSCE boundary, fire protection, and drain piping. The instrument room purge subsystem is not an engineered safety feature, and credit for its operability for a LOCA or a fuel-handling accident is not claimed.

A containment ventilation isolation signal automatically shuts down the fans and isolates the RBPVS by closing its respective dampers and butterfly valves. Each RBPVS primary containment isolation valve is designed for fail safe closing within 4 seconds of receipt of a closure signal for containment penetrations (See Tables 6.2.4- 1 through 6.2.4-4 and Figure 6.2.4-21). The RBPVS primary containment isolation valve locations and descriptions are given in Table 6.2.4-1. Each valve is provided with an air cylinder valve operator, control air solenoid valve, and valve position indicating limit switches.

Smoke detectors, located in the Auxiliary Building air intake and the general ventilation supply ducts, shut down the purge air supply and the incore instrument room purge supply fans and their isolation dampers.

A functional analysis of the system shows that:

(1) During normal operation, adequate fresh air is provided for breathing and for contamination control when the primary or secondary containment (annulus) is occupied.

(2) Primary and secondary containment exhaust air is cleaned up during normal operations and following a fuel handling accident.

(3) Purge supply and exhaust fan operations cease and isolation dampers in the intake and exhaust ducting close when the system is in the accident isolation mode of operation.

(4) Three signals cause the system to change from the normal purge mode to the accident isolation mode. These signals, which include manual, SIS auto initiate, and high purge exhaust radiation (automatic), initiate a containment ventilation isolation signal. Additionally, during refueling operations whenever containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, a high radiation signal from the spent fuel pool accident radiation monitors or CVI signal from the operating unit automatically cause the system to change from the purge mode to the accident isolation mode.

(5) Discharges from the annulus, during normal operation, which are exhausted through the Auxiliary Building exhaust stack, are monitored at the stack. Although these radiation monitors do not initiate an automatic containment isolation signal, radioactive release limits have been established as a basis for controlling plant discharge during operation. Radioactive releases from the plant resulting from equipment faults of moderate frequency are within 10 CFR 50 Appendix I and 40 CFR 190 limits as specified in the ODCM (See Section 11.3 for further details). In addition, analyses have shown that any accident with the potential consequence to exceed the 10 CFR 100 limits, would be detected by other indicators (see item 4 above) and cause an automatic primary and/or secondary containment isolation.

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final 6.2.3 Secondary Containment Functional Design Structures included as part of the secondary containment system are the Shield Building of each reactor unit, the Auxiliary Building, the Condensate Demineralizer Waste Evaporator (CDWE) Building and the essential raw cooling water (ERCW) pipe tunnels adjacent to the Auxiliary Building. Depending on the configuration of the plant, the Primary Containment Building(s) may also be included as a structure which is part of the secondary containment system. This condition exists when the primary containment is open to the Auxiliary Building.

The emergency gas treatment system (EGTS) is provided for ventilation control and cleanup of the atmosphere inside the annulus between the Shield Building and the Primary Containment Building. The Reactor Building purge air system is also available for cleaning up the atmosphere inside the Shield Building Annulus. Refer to Section 9.4.6 for further details relating to the purge air system. The Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS) provides a similar contamination control capability in the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE),which includes all of the areas listed above.

6.2.3.1 Design Bases 6.2.3.1.1 Secondary Containment Enclosures Design bases for the secondary containment structures were devised to assure that an effective barrier exists for airborne fission products that may leak from the primary containment, or the Auxiliary Building fuel handling area, during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Within the scope of these design bases are requirements that influence the size, structural integrity, and leak tightness of the secondary containment enclosure. Specifically, these include a capability to: (a) maintain an effective barrier for gases and vapors that may leak from the primary containment during all normal and abnormal events; (b) delay the release of any gases and vapors that may leak from the primary containment during accidents; (c) allow gases and vapors that may leak through the primary containment during accidents to flow into the contained air volume within the secondary containment where they are diluted, held up, and purified prior to being released to the environs; (d) bleed to the secondary containment each air-filled containment penetration enclosure which extends beyond the Shield Building and which is formed by automatically actuated isolation valves; (e) maintain an effective barrier for airborne radioactive contaminants, gases, and vapors originating in the ABSCE during normal and abnormal events. Refer to Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 for further details relating to the design of the Shield Building and the Auxiliary Building.

6.2.3.1.3 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

The design bases for the ABGTS are:

1. To establish and keep an air pressure that is below atmospheric within the portion of the buildings serving as a secondary containment enclosure during accidents.

2. To reduce the concentration of radioactive nuclides in air releases from the secondary containment enclosures to the environs during accidents to levels sufficiently low to keep the site boundary and LPZ dose rates below the 10 CFR 100 guideline values.

3. To withstand the safe shutdown earthquake.

4. To provide for initial and periodic testing of the system capability to function as designed (See Chapter 14.0 for information on initial testing of systems).

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final 6.2.3.3.3 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

The ABGTS has the capabilities needed to preserve safety in accidents as severe as a LOCA. This was determined by conducting functional analyses of the system to verify that the system has the proper features for accident mitigation which consist of a failure modes and effects analysis, a review of Regulatory Guide 1.52 sections to assure licensing requirement conformance, and a performance analysis to verify that the system has the desired accident mitigation capabilities. A detailed failure modes and effects analysis is presented in Table 6.2.3-3.

The functional analyses conducted on the ABGTS have shown that:

1. The air intakes for the system are properly located to minimize accident effects.

The use of the air intakes provided in the fuel handling and waste disposal areas minimizes the spread of airborne contamination that may be accidentally released at these positions in which the probability of an accidental release, e.g.,

a fuel handling accident, is more likely. This localization effect is provided without reducing the effectiveness of the system to cope with multiple activity released throughout the ABSCE that may occur during a LOCA. Such coverage is accomplished by utilizing the normal ventilation ducting to draw outside air inleakage from any point along the secondary containment enclosure to the fuel handling and waste disposal areas.

2. Accident indication signals are utilized to bring the ABGTS into operation to assure that the system functions when needed to mitigate accident effects.

Accidents in which this system is needed to preserve safety are automatically detected by at least one of the three instrumentation sets used to generate accident signals that result in system startup.

3. System startup reliability is very high. The practice of allowing the automatic startup of both full capacity trains in the system gives greater assurance that one train of equipment functions upon receipt of an accident signal.

4. The method adopted to establish and keep the negative pressure level within this secondary containment enclosure minimizes the time needed to reach the desired pressure level. Initially, the full capacity of the ABGTS fans is utilized for this purpose. After reaching the desired operating level, the system control module allows outside air to enter the air flow network just upstream of the fan at a rate to keep the fans operating at full capacity with the enclosed volume at the desired negative pressure level. In this situation, the amount of air withdrawn from the enclosed volume is equal to the amount of outside air inleakage through the ABSCE. In addition, two vacuum breaker dampers in series are provided to admit outside air in case the modulating dampers fail.

5. The ABSCE is maintained at a slightly negative pressure to reduce the amount of unprocessed air escaping from this secondary containment enclosure to the atmosphere to insignificant quantities. In addition, this negative pressure level is less than that which is maintained within the annulus; such that, any air leakage E5-4

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final between the Auxiliary Building and the Shield Building is from the Auxiliary Building into the Shield Building.

6. The Train A and Train B air cleanup units are sufficiently separated from each other to eliminate the possibility of a single failure destroying the capability to process Auxiliary Building air prior to its release to the atmosphere. Two concrete walls and a distance of more than 80 feet separate the two trains. The use of separate trains of the emergency power system to drive the air cleanup trains gives further assurance of proper equipment separation.

The review of the ABGTS conducted to determine its conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 has shown that this system, designed prior to issuance of the guide, is in general agreement with its requirements. Details on compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 are given in Table 6.5-2.

The performance analysis conducted to verify that the ABGTS has the required accident mitigation capabilities has shown that the system flow rate is sized properly to handle all expected outside air inleakage at a 1/4-inch water gauge negative pressure differential. This indicates that the nominal flow rate of 9000 cfm is sufficient to assure an adequate margin above the expected ABSCE inleakage (ACU filters are replaced as needed to maintain a minimum flow capability of 9300 cfm under surveillance instructions).

The performance analysis evaluated the capability of the ABGTS to reach and maintain a negative pressure of 1/4-inch water gauge with respect to the outside within the boundaries of the ABSCE. The following was utilized in the analysis:

1, Leakage into the ABSCE is proportional to the square root of the pressure differential.

2. Only one air cleanup unit in the ABGTS operates at the rated capacity.

3. The air cleanup unit fan begins to operate 30 seconds after the initiation of an ABI signal.

4. The initial static pressure inside the ABSCE is conservatively considered to be atmospheric pressure, although the ABSCE is under a negative pressure during normal operation.

5. The effective pressure head due to wind equals 1/8-inch water gauge.

6. Initial average air temperature inside the ABSCE equals 140 0 F.

7. Atmospheric temperature and pressure are 70°F and 14.4 psia, respectively.

8. ABSCE isolation dampers/valves close within 30 seconds after receiving an ABI signal.

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final

9. The non-safety-related general ventilation and fuel handling area exhaust fans are designed to shut down automatically following a LOCA. Each fan is provided with a safety related Class 1E primary circuit breaker and a safety related Class 1E shunt trip isolation switch which is tripped by a signal of the opposite train from that for the primary circuit breaker to ensure that power is isolated from the fan.

6.2.4.3 Design Evaluation The containment isolation systems are designed to present a double barrier to any flow path from the inside to the outside of the containment using the double-barrier approach to meet the single-failure criterion.

(0 The design configuration for penetrations X-79A (ice blowing), and X-79B (negative return) is temporarily modified in operating Modes 5 and 6 and when the reactor is defueled (Mode 7) to support ice blowing activities. The normally closed blind flange on each penetration will be opened and temporary piping will be installed in the penetrations. A 12-inch silicone seal will be installed between the piping segment and the penetration. Manual isolation valves will be connected to the piping on the inboard and outboard side of the penetrations. This configuration is being installed to permit ice blowing operations to occur concurrently with fuel handling activities inside containment.

These are:

(1) The emergency gas treatment system (EGTS) air cleanup units.

(2) The Auxiliary Building gas treatment system (ABGTS) air cleanup units.

(3) The Reactor Building purge system air cleanup units.

(4) The Main Control Room emergency air cleanup units.

6.5.1.1 Design Bases 6.5.1.1.1 Emergency Gas Treatment System Air Cleanup Units The design bases are:

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final 9.4.2.3 Safety Evaluation A fuel handling accident in the Auxiliary Building is detected by the two gamma radiation detectors mounted above the fuel pool, as shown in Figure 9.4-12. The high radiation signals via redundant trains will then shut off the fuel handling and Auxiliary Building general supply and exhaust fans and start the ABGTS, as shown in Figures 9.4-9 and 9.4-10. No credit is taken in the dose or accident analyses for these functions. The fuel handling area ventilation system will accomplish the following functions:

(1) Isolate the normal ventilation pathways between the spent fuel pool and the environment.

(2) Filter the contaminants out of the air by the ABGTS before exhausting it to the environment.

The two redundant radiation monitors (non-safety-related) located above the spent fuel pit assure that the accident is promptly detected and that a high radiation signal is provided to each ventilation train, even if one monitor fails. Also, during refueling operations when containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, a Containment Vent Isolation (CVI) signal from either the operating or refueling unit is procedurally configured to assure that a fuel handling accident in containment is promptly detected and the CVI signal is provided to each ventilation train.

In addition, the Auxiliary Building radiation monitor (non-safety related) which monitors the Auxiliary Building exhaust vent is also capable of providing a high radiation signal to the MCR. A high radiation signal from either of the monitors located above the spent fuel pit or a operating or refueling unit CVI signal whenever containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces during refueling operations causes the fuel handling area (FHA) and Auxiliary Building general supply and exhaust fans to shut down and their associated dampers to close, as shown in Figures 9.4-9 and 9.4-10. Each of the two FHA exhaust fans has both train A and train B dampers, to ensure building isolation in the event of one damper's failure to close.

As an added safety feature, all ABSCE boundary isolation dampers are designed to fail-closed on loss of instrument air or electrical power.

E5-1

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final 9.4.6 Reactor Building Purge Ventilating System (RBPVS) 9.4.6.1 Design Bases The RBPVS is designed to maintain the environment in the primary containment and Shield Building annulus within acceptable limits for equipment operation and for personnel access during inspection, testing, maintenance, and refueling operations, and to provide a filtration path for any through-duct outleakage from the primary containment to limit the release of radioactivity to the environment.

The RBPVS performs three distinct functions, the forced air purge function, the continuous pressure relief function, and the alternate containment pressure relief function.

The forced air purge function is performed by a purge supply and purge exhaust system consisting of two trains, each of which is designed to provide 50% of the capacity needed for normal purging. Each train consists of a supply fan, an exhaust fan, a HEPA filter-charcoal adsorber assembly, containment isolation valves and associated dampers and ductwork. This function provides a means by which containment air may be forcibly exchanged and filtered. The purge function provides a means by which containment air may be forcibly exchanged and filtered. The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function. The safety functions are to assure isolation of primary containment during an accident and to isolate the purge air supply intake upon receipt of an Auxiliary Building Isolation (ABI) signal.

In the case of a fuel handling accident the filtration units provide a filtration path following a fuel handling accident until all containment isolation valves are closed.

However, neither the filtration nor the isolation functions are credited in the Fuel Handling Dose Analysis. Thus they are not safety functions for this accident.

During Operating Modes 1 thru 5, continuous pressure relief is provided by a passive ducting system which passes through containment penetration X-80, through two 100%

redundant containment vent air cleanup units (CVACU) containing HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Containment air is moved into the annulus by the motive force created by differential pressure between the two spaces. Filtration redundancy allows maintenance on one unit at a time while maintaining an open pathway through the other. This ventilation pathway is isolable using containment isolation valves FCV-30-40 and FCV-30-37 which are closed when containment isolation is required.

The alternate pressure relief function is provided by way of a configuration alignment in the forced air purge system. This function is accomplished by opening lower compartment purge lines (one supply and one exhaust) or one of the two pairs of lines (one supply and one exhaust) in the upper compartment. During purging mode, the purge air fans may or may not be used. To prevent inadvertent pressurization of containment due to supply and exhaust side ductwork flow imbalances, the supply ductwork airflow may be temporarily throttled as needed.

The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function.

E5-2

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final The design bases include provisions to:

(1) Supply fresh air for breathing and contamination control when the primary containment or annulus is occupied.

(2) Exhaust primary containment and annulus air to the outdoors whenever the purge air supply system is operated.

(3) Clean up containment exhaust during normal operation by routing the air through HEPA-carbon filter trains before release to the atmosphere to limit potential release of radioactivity to the environment.

(4) Provide a reduced quantity of ventilating air to permit occupancy of the instrument room during reactor operation. The provisions for 1, 2, and 3 above will apply.

(5) Assure closure of primary and secondary containment isolation valves following accidents which result in the initiation of a containment ventilation isolation signal.

(6) Assure closure of the system air intake dampers, which form part of the ABSCE (see Section 6.2.3.2.1), upon receipt of a signal for Auxiliary Building isolation.

(7) Provide continuous containment pressure relief path through HEPA-carbon filter trains before release to the atmosphere during normal operations.

Items 5 and 6 above are safety-related functions, except in the case of the fuel handling accident.

The primary containment penetrations for the ventilation supply and exhaust subsystems are designed to primary containment structural standards. These are discussed in detail in Section 6.2.4.

The RBPVS is sized to maintain an acceptable working environment within the containment during all normal operations. The system has the capabilities to provide a filtration path for outleakage from the primary containment, and clean up containment atmosphere following a design basis accident. It also has provisions to filter air flow exhausted from containment for pressure control, during normal operation.

The controls are designed to have simultaneous starting and stopping of the matching supply and exhaust equipment and to initiate an automatic shutdown and isolation upon receipt of the containment ventilation isolation signal.

In addition, RBPVS supply fans will shut down and the ABSCE isolation dampers in purge air supply ducts will close on an ABI signal.

The RBPVS components are designed or qualified to meet Seismic Category I requirements, except all purge ductwork within the containment, up to the inboard isolation valves, and the supply air ductwork from the downstream flange of the ABSCE E5-3

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final isolation dampers to the upstream flange of the Shield Building isolation valves, which are designed to meet Seismic Category I(L) requirements.

The primary containment exhaust is monitored by redundant radiation detectors which provide automatic RBPVS isolation upon detecting the setpoint radioactivity in the exhaust air stream. The RBPVS isolation valves automatically close upon the actuation of a containment ventilation isolation signal or upon manual actuation from the MCR. In addition, during fuel handling operations in the Auxiliary Building with containment and/or the annulus open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, the RBPVS isolation valves will close upon a high radiation signal from the spent fuel pool radiation monitors via a CVI signal from the operating or refueling unit.

The system air supply and exhaust ducts are routed through the Shield Building annulus to several primary containment penetrations. Two air supply locations are provided for each of the upper and lower compartments and one for the instrument room. Air is supplied to areas of low potential radioactivity and is allowed to flow to the air pickup exhaust points in areas of higher potential radioactivity. The air pickup points, located to exhaust air from the lower compartment and instrument room, also provide an air sweep across the surface of the refueling canal...

The purge function of the RBPVS is not a safety-related function and the filtration units are not required to provide a safety-related filtration path following a fuel handling accident. The primary containment isolation valves and intermediate piping of the RBPVS are designed in accordance with ANS safety class 2A; other portions are designated ANS safety class 2B except the purge fans, all purge ductwork within the containment, purge supply air ductwork from the ABSCE boundary, fire protection, and drain piping. The instrument room purge subsystem is not an engineered safety feature, and credit for its operability for a LOCA or a fuel-handling accident is not claimed.

A containment ventilation isolation signal automatically shuts down the fans and isolates the RBPVS by closing its respective dampers and butterfly valves. Each RBPVS primary containment isolation valve is designed for fail safe closing within 4 seconds of receipt of a closure signal for containment penetrations (See Tables 6.2.4- 1 through 6.2.4-4 and Figure 6.2.4-21). The RBPVS primary containment isolation valve locations and descriptions are given in Table 6.2.4-1. Each valve is provided with an air cylinder valve operator, control air solenoid valve, and valve position indicating limit switches.

Smoke detectors, located in the Auxiliary Building air intake and the general ventilation supply ducts, shut down the purge air supply and the incore instrument room purge supply fans and their isolation dampers.

E5-4

Enclosure 5 WBN Unit 2 - FSAR Sections 6.2, 6.5, and 9.4 Final 9.4.6.3 Safety Evaluation Functional analyses and failure modes and effects analysis have shown that the RBPVS meets the containment isolation requirements. The CVACUs, performing a continuously filtered containment vent function during normal operation, are isolated by the closure of their containment isolation valves; therefore are not operable after accidents.

A functional analysis of the system shows that:

(1) During normal operation, adequate fresh air is provided for breathing and for contamination control when the primary or secondary containment (annulus) is occupied.

(2) Primary and secondary containment exhaust air is cleaned up during normal operations and following a fuel handling accident.

(3) Purge supply and exhaust fan operations cease and isolation dampers in the intake and exhaust ducting close when the system is in the accident isolation mode of operation.

(4) Three signals cause the system to change from the normal purge mode to the accident isolation mode. These signals, which include manual, SIS auto initiate, and high purge exhaust radiation (automatic), initiate a containment ventilation isolation signal. Additionally, during refueling operations whenever containment and/or the annulus is open to the Auxiliary Building ABSCE spaces, a high radiation signal from the spent fuel pool accident radiation monitors or CVI signal from the operating unit automatically cause the system to change from the purge mode to the accident isolation mode.

(5) Discharges from the annulus, during normal operation, which are exhausted through the Auxiliary Building exhaust stack, are monitored at the stack. Although these radiation monitors do not initiate an automatic containment isolation signal, radioactive release limits have been established as a basis for controlling plant discharge during operation. Radioactive releases from the plant resulting from equipment faults of moderate frequency are within 10 CFR 50 Appendix I and 40 CFR 190 limits as specified in the ODCM (See Section 11.3 for further details). In addition, analyses have shown that any accident with the potential consequence to exceed the 10 CFR 100 limits, would be detected by other indicators (see item 4 above) and cause an automatic primary and/or secondary containment isolation.

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.6 Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation closes the containment isolation valves in the Containment Purge System. This action isolates the containment atmosphere from the environment to minimize releases of radioactivity in the event of an accident. The Reactor Building Purge System may be in use during reactor operation and with the reactor shutdown.

Containment vent isolation is initiated by a safety injection (SI) signal or by manual actuation. The Bases for LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation," discuss initiation of SI signals.

Redundant and independent gaseous radioactivity monitors measure the radioactivity levels of the containment purge exhaust, each of which will initiate its associated train of automatic Containment Vent Isolation upon detection of high gaseous radioactivity.

The Reactor Building Purge System has inner and outer containment isolation valves in its supply and exhaust ducts. This system is described in the Bases for LCO 3.6.3, "Containment Isolation Valves."

1. Manual Initiation The LCO requires two channels OPERABLE. The operator can initiate Containment Vent Isolation at any time by using either of two switches in the control room or from local panel(s). Either switch actuates both trains. This action will cause actuation of all components in the same manner as any of the automatic actuation signals. These manual switches also initiate a Phase A isolation signal.

The LCO for Manual Initiation ensures the proper amount of redundancy is maintained in the manual actuation circuitry to ensure the operator has manual initiation capability.

Each channel consists of one selector switch and the interconnecting wiring to the actuation logic cabinet.

2. Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays The LCO requires two trains of Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays OPERABLE to ensure that no single random failure can prevent automatic actuation.

Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays consist of the same features and operate in the same manner as described for ESFAS Function 1.b, SI. The applicable MODES and specified conditions for the containment vent isolation portion of the SI Function is different and less restrictive than those for the SI role. If one or more of the SI Functions becomes inoperable in such a manner that only the Containment Vent Isolation Function is affected, the Conditions applicable to the SI Functions need not be entered. The less restrictive Actions specified for inoperability of the Containment Vent Isolation Functions specify sufficient compensatory measures for this case.

OPERABILITY may also require correct valve lineups and sample pump operation, as well as detector OPERABILITY, if these supporting features are necessary for trip to occur under the conditions assumed by the safety analyses.

Only the Allowable Value is specified for the Containment Purge Exhaust Radiation Monitors in the LCO. The Allowable Value is based on expected concentrations for a small break LOCA, which is more restrictive than 10 CFR 100 limits. The Allowable Value specified is more conservative than the analytical limit assumed in the safety analysis in order to account for instrument uncertainties appropriate to the trip function. The actual nominal Trip Setpoint is normally still more conservative than that required by the Allowable Value. If the setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the radiation monitor is considered OPERABLE.

4. Safety Iniection (SI)

Refer to LCO 3.3.2, Function 1, for all initiating Functions and requirements.

APPLICABILITY The Manual Initiation, Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, Safety Injection, and Containment Radiation Functions are required OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, and during mov.ement of irradiated fue! a",.mb.i,**o.. th.. c*nta...nmnt;. Under these conditions, the potential exists for an accident that could release significant fission product radioactivity into containment. Therefore, the Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation must be OPERABLE in these MODES. See additional discussion in the Background and Applicable Safety Analysis sections.

While in MODES 5 and 6 without fuel handling in p*r"gee,' the Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation need not be OPERABLE since the potential for radioactive releases is minimized and operator action is sufficient to ensure post accident offsite doses are maintained within the limits of Reference 1.

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 BASES (continued)

ACTIONS The most common cause of channel inoperability is outright failure or drift sufficient to exceed the tolerance allowed by unit specific calibration procedures. Typically, the drift is found to be small and results in a delay of actuation rather than a total loss of function. Ifthe Trip Setpoint is less conservative than the tolerance specified by the calibration procedure, the channel must be declared inoperable immediately, and the appropriate Condition entered.

A Note has been added to the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered independently for each Function listed in Table 3.3.6-1. The Completion Time(s) of the inoperable channel(s)/train(s) of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

A.1 Condition A applies to the failure of one containment purge isolation radiation monitor channel. Since the two containment radiation monitors are both gaseous detectors, failure of a single channel may result in loss of the redundancy. Consequently, the failed channel must be restored to OPERABLE status. The 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> allowed to restore the affected channel is justified by the low likelihood of events occurring during this interval, and recognition that one or more of the remaining channels will respond to most events.

B.1 Condition B applies to all Containment Vent Isolation Functions and addresses the train orientation of the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) and the master and slave relays for these Functions. It also addresses the failure of multiple radiation monitoring channels, or the inability to restore a single failed channel to OPERABLE status in the time allowed for Required Action A. 1.

Ifa train is inoperable, multiple channels are inoperable, or the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A are not met, operation may continue as long as the Required Action for the applicable Conditions of LCO 3.6.3 is met for each valve made inoperable by failure of isolation instrumentation. A Note has been added above the Required Actions to allow one train of actuation logic to be placed in bypass and to delay entering the Required Actions for up to four hours to perform surveillance testing provided the other train is OPERABLE. The 4-hour allowance is consistent with the Required Actions for actuation logic trains in LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (continued)

ABGTS Actuation Instrumentation B 3.3.8 BASES LCO The LCO requirements ensure that instrumentation necessary to initiate the ABGTS is OPERABLE.

1. Manual Initiation The LCO requires two channels OPERABLE. The operator can initiate the ABGTS at any time by using either of two switches in the control room. This action will cause actuation of all components in the same manner as any of the automatic actuation signals.

The LCO for Manual Initiation ensures the proper amount of redundancy is maintained in the manual actuation circuitry to ensure the operator has manual initiation capability.

Each channel consists of one hand switch and the interconnecting wiring to the actuation logic relays.

Condition A applies to the actuation logic train function from the Phase A Isolation, the radiation monitor funGons, and the manual initiation function. Condition A applies to the failure of a single actuation logic train, radiati*on monitor channel-, or manual channel. If one channel or train is inoperable, a period of 7 days is allowed to restore it to OPERABLE status. If the train cannot be restored to OPERABLE status, one ABGTS train must be placed in operation. This accomplishes the actuation instrumentation function and places the unit in a conservative mode of operation. The 7-day Completion Time is the same as is allowed if one train of the mechanical portion of the system is inoperable. The basis for this time is the same as that provided in LCO 3.7.12.

B.1.1, B.1.2. B.2 Condition B applies to the failure of two ABGTS actuation logic signals from the Phase A Isolation, t-o radiation monitort, or two manual channels. The Required Action is to place one ABGTS train in operation immediately. This accomplishes the actuation instrumentation function that may have been lost and places the unit in a conservative mode of operation. The applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.7.12 must also be entered for the ABGTS train made inoperable by the inoperable actuation instrumentation. This ensures appropriate limits are placed on train inoperability as discussed in the Bases for LCO 3.7.12.

Alternatively, both trains may be placed in the emergency radiation protection mode. This ensures the ABGTS Function is performed even in the presence of a single failure.

Containment B 3.6.1 BASES APPLICABLE Satisfactory leakage rate test results are a requirement for the SAFETY establishment of containment OPERABILITY.

ANALYSES (continued) The containment satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Containment OPERABILITY is maintained by limiting leakage to < 1.0 La, except prior to the first start up after performing a required Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test. At this time, applicable leakage limits must be met.

Compliance with this LCO will ensure a containment configuration, including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leakage rates assumed in the safety analysis.

Individual leakage rates specified for the containment air lock (LCO 3.6.2), purge valves with resilient seals, and Shield Building containment bypass leakage (LCO 3.6.3) are not specifically part of the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. Therefore, leakage rates exceeding these individual limits only result in the containment being inoperable when the leakage results in exceeding the acceptance criteria of Appendix J, Option B.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material into containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, containment is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 and 6 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from containment. The. .quir.ment.for

Containment Air Locks B 3.6.2 BASES (continued)

APPLICABLE The DBAs that result in a significant release of radioactive material within SAFETY containment are a loss of coolant accident and a rod ejection accident ANALYSES (Ref. 2). In the analysis of each of these accidents, it is assumed that containment is OPERABLE such that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of containment leakage. The containment was designed with an allowable leakage rate (LJ)of 0.25%

of containment air weight per day (Ref. 2), at the calculated peak containment pressure of 15.0 psig. This allowable leakage rate forms the basis for the acceptance criteria imposed on the SRs associated with the air locks.

The containment air locks satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Each containment air lock forms part of the containment pressure boundary. As part of containment pressure boundary, the air lock safety function is related to control of the containment leakage rate resulting from a DBA. Thus, each air lock's structural integrity and leak tightness are essential to the successful mitigation of such an event.

Each air lock is required to be OPERABLE. For the air lock to be considered OPERABLE, the air lock interlock mechanism must be OPERABLE, the air lock must be in compliance with the Type B air lock leakage test, and both air lock doors must be OPERABLE. The interlock allows only one air lock door of an air lock to be opened at one time. This provision ensures that a gross breach of containment does not exist when containment is required to be OPERABLE. Closure of a single door in each air lock is sufficient to provide a leak tight barrier following postulated events. Nevertheless, both doors are kept closed when the air lock is not being used for normal entry into and exit from containment.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, the containment air locks are not required in MODE 5 and 6 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from containment.

Containment Isolation Valves B 3.6.3 BASES (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, the containment isolation valves are not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 and 6.

The roquiF8montA for.conbinRmonti1;eation valves during MODE 6 aro addressed i~q!LCO 3.9.4, "GContainmont PonoAtr1at-ione;."

ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by a Note allowing penetration flow paths, to be unisolated intermittently under administrative controls. These administrative controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator (licensed or unlicensed) at the valve controls, who is in continuous communication with the control room. In this way, the penetration can be rapidly isolated when a need for containment isolation is indicated. For valve controls located in the control room, an operator (other than the Shift Operations Supervisor (SOS), ASOS, or the Operator at the Controls) may monitor containment isolation signal status rather than be stationed at the valve controls. Other secondary responsibilities which do not prevent adequate monitoring of containment isolation signal status may be performed by the operator provided his/her primary responsibility is rapid isolation of the penetration when needed for containment isolation. Use of the Unit Control Room Operator (CRO) to perform this function should be limited to those situations where no other operator is available.

A second Note has been added to provide clarification that, for this LCO, separate Condition entry is allowed for each penetration flow path. This is acceptable, since the Required Actions for each Condition provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable containment isolation valve. Complying with the Required Actions may allow for continued operation, and subsequent inoperable containment isolation valves are governed by subsequent Condition entry and application of associated Required Actions.

The ACTIONS are further modified by third Note, which ensures appropriate remedial actions are taken, if necessary, if the affected systems are rendered inoperable by an inoperable containment isolation valve.

In the event the isolation valve leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate, Note 4 directs entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.6.1.

Containment Isolation Valves B 3.6.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.3.7 REQUIREMENTS Verifying that each 24 inch containment lower compartment purge valve is blocked to restrict opening to < 500 is required to ensure that the valves can close under DBA conditions within the times assumed in the analyses of References 1 and 2. If a LOCA occurs, the purge valves must close to maintain containment leakage within the values assumed in the accident analysis. At other times when containment when purge al've ar*e required to be.. capable

-, of ng (e.g., d*urig my,. m. t of irrdit fu,-ed assemblies), pressurization concerns are not present, thus the purge valves can be fully open. The 18-month Frequency is appropriate because the blocking devices are typically removed only during a refueling outage.

SR 3.6.3.8 This SR ensures that the combined leakage rate of all Shield Building bypass leakage paths is less than or equal to the specified leakage rate.

This provides assurance that the assumptions in the safety analysis are met. The as left bypass leakage rate prior to the first startup after performing a leakage test, requires calculation using maximum pathway leakage (leakage through the worse of the two isolation valves). If the penetration is isolated by use of one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange, then the leakage rate of the isolated bypass leakage path is assumed to be the actual pathway leakage through the isolation device. If both isolation valves in the penetration are closed, the actual leakage rate is the lesser leakage rate of the two valves. At all other times, the leakage rate will be calculated using minimum pathway leakage.

The frequency is required by the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. This SR simply imposes additional acceptance criteria.

Although not a part of La, the Shield Building Bypass leakage path combined leakage rate is determined using the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, Type B and C leakage rates for the applicable barriers.

ABGTS B 3.7.12 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.12 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

BASES BACKGROUND The ABGTS filters airborne radioactive particulates from the area of the fuel poo! following a fue! handling accident and from the area of active Unit 2 ECCS components and Unit 2 penetration rooms following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).

The ABGTS consists of two independent and redundant trains. Each train consists of a heater, a prefilter, moisture separator, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, two activated charcoal adsorber sections for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves or dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system.

A second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines and provide backup in case the main HEPA filter bank fails.

The downstream HEPA filter is not credited in the analysis. The system initiates filtered ventilation of the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE) exhaust air following receipt of a Phase A containment isolation signal Or a high radiation signal . fro the epent fuel poe'0 area.

The ABGTS is a standby system, not used during normal plant operations. During emergency operations, the ABSCE dampers are realigned and ABGTS fans are started to begin filtration. Air is exhausted from the Unit 2 ECCS pump rooms, Unit 2 penetration rooms, and fuel handling area through the filter trains. The prefilters or moisture separators remove any large particles in the air, and any entrained water droplets present, to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.

The ABGTS filter tests are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. 8 7). 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 frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

SR 3.7.12.4 This SR verifies the integrity of the ABSCE. The ability of the ABSCE to maintain negative pressure with respect to potentially uncontaminated adjacent areas is periodically tested to verify proper function of the ABGTS. During the post accident mode of operation, the ABGTS is designed to maintain a slight negative pressure in the ABSCE, to prevent unfiltered LEAKAGE. The ABGTS is designed to maintain a negative pressure between -0.25 inches water gauge and -0.5 inches water gauge (value does not account for instrument error) with respect to atmospheric I pressure at a nominal flow rate > 9300 cfm and < 9900 cfm. The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-0800, Section 6.5.1 (Ref. 0 8).

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.7.13 8 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.13 Fuel Storage Pool Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The minimum water level in the fuel storage pool meets the assumptions of iodine decontamination factors following a fuel handling accident. The specified water level shields and minimizes the general area dose when the storage racks are filled to their maximum capacity. The water also provides shielding during the movement of spent fuel.

A general description of the fuel storage pool design is given in the FSAR, Section 9.1.2 (Ref. 1). A description of the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling and Cleanup System is given in the FSAR, Section 9.1.3 (Ref. 2). The assumptions of the fuel handling accident are given in the FSAR,Section I 4S 15.5.6 (Ref. 3).

APPLICABLE The minimum water level in the fuel storage pool meets the assumptions SAFETY of the fuel handling accident described in Regulatory Guide 425 (Ref.4)

ANALYSES 1.183 Rev. 6. The Total effective Dose equivalent (TEDE) for control room occupants, individuals at the exclusion area boundary, and individuals within the low population zone will remain with 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 7) and Regulatory Position C.4.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref 6) for a fuel handling accident. The resultant 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> thyroid dose per person at the exclusion area boundary is a small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 (Ref. 5) limits.

According to Reference 3 4, there is 23 ft of water between the top of the damaged fuel bundle and the fuel pool surface during a fuel handling accident. With 23 ft of water, the assumptions of Reference 6 4 can be used directly. In practice, this LCO preserves this assumption for the bulk of the fuel in the storage racks. In the case of a single bundle dropped and lying horizontally on top of the spent fuel racks; however, there may be < 23 ft of water above the top of the fuel bundle and the surface, indicated by the width of the bundle. To offset this small non-conservatism, the analysis assumes that all fuel rods fail, although analysis shows that only the first few rows fail from a hypothetical maximum drop.

The fuel storage pool water level satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.7.13 BASES (continued)

LCO The fuel storage pool water level is required to be > 23 ft over the top of irradiated fuel assemblies seated in the storage racks. The specified water level preserves the assumptions of the fuel handling accident analysis (Ref. 3). As such, it is the minimum required for fuel storage and movement within the fuel storage pool.

APPLICABILITY This LCO applies during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel storage pool, since the potential for a release of fission products exists.

ACTIONS A.1 Required Action A.1 is modified by a Note indicating that LCO 3.0.3 does not apply.

When the initial conditions for prevention of an accident cannot be met, steps should be taken to preclude the accident from occurring. When the fuel storage pool water level is lower than the required level, the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel storage pool is immediately suspended. This action effectively precludes the occurrence of a fuel handling accident. This does not preclude movement of a fuel assembly to a safe position.

If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 5 or 6, LCO 3.0.3 would not specify any action. If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, 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.

SURVEILLANCE SIR 3.7.13.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies sufficient fuel storage pool water is available in the event of a fuel handling accident. The water level in the fuel storage pool must be checked periodically. The 7 day Frequency is appropriate because the volume in the pool is normally stable. Water level changes are controlled by plant procedures and are acceptable based on operating experience.

During refueling operations, the level in the fuel storage pool is in equilibrium with the refueling canal, and the level in the refueling canal is checked daily in accordance with SR 3.9.7.1.

Refueling Cavity Water Level B 3.9.7 B 3.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS B 3.9.7 Refueling Cavity Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment requires a minimum water level of 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange.

During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the containment, refueling canal, fuel transfer canal, refueling cavity, and spent fuel pool.

Sufficient water is necessary to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident (Refs. 2 and 8 an.d 2).

Sufficient iodine activity would be retained to limit offsite doses from the accident to - ,2% of 10 ,FR 100 limits, as providod by the guidanco,,

ee the limits defined in 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 7) and Regulatory Position C.4.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8).

APPLICABLE During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the water level in the SAFETY refueling canal and the refueling cavity is an initial condition design ANALYSES parameter in the analysis of a fuel handling accident in containment,-as postulated by Rogulator; Guido 1.25 (Ref. 1). A minimum water level of 23 ft (Regulatory Position 2 of Appendix B to Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8)) allows an overall iodine decontamination factor of 200 C.I? 9f 0-f 4~ H1 A ^fsn D i +,, D.,4,

This relates to the assumption that 99.5% of the total iodine released from the pellet to cladding gap of all the dropped fuel assembly rods is retained by the refueling cavity water. The fuel pellet to cladding gap is assumed to contain 8% of the 1-131, 10% of the Kr-85, and 5% of the other noble gases and iodines from the total fission product inventory in accordance with Regulatory Position 3.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8). 40%-of tho, total Afuo81 roed i;din in;enter; (Rof. 1) oxcopt for! 131 whirch i The fuel handling accident analysis inside containment is described in Reference 2.

Refueling Cavity Water Level B 3.9.7 BASES (continued)

LCO A minimum refueling cavity water level of 23 ft above the reactor vessel flange is required to ensure that the radiological consequences of a postulated fuel handling accident inside containment are within acceptable limits, as provided by the guidance of Reference 3.

APPLICABILITY LCO 3.9.7 is applicable when moving irradiated fuel assemblies within containment. The LCO minimizes the possibility of a fuel handling accident in containment that is beyond the assumptions of the safety analysis. If irradiated fuel assemblies are not present in containment, there can be no significant radioactivity release as a result of a postulated fuel handling accident. Requirements for fuel handling accidents in the spent fuel pool are covered by LCO 3.7.13, "Fuel Storage Pool Water Level."

ACTIONS A.1 With a water level of < 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, all operations involving movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the containment shall be suspended immediately to ensure that a fuel handling accident cannot occur. The suspension of fuel movement shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.

A.2 In addition to immediately suspending movement of irradiated fuel, actions to restore refueling cavity water level must be initiated immediately.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.7.1 REQUIREMENTS Verification of a minimum water level of 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange ensures that the design basis for the analysis of the postulated fuel handling accident during refueling operations is met.

Water at the required level above the top of the reactor vessel flange limits the consequences of damaged fuel rods that are postulated to result from a fuel handling accident inside containment (Ref. 2).

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.6 Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation closes the containment isolation valves in the Containment Purge System. This action isolates the containment atmosphere from the environment to minimize releases of radioactivity in the event of an accident. The Reactor Building Purge System may be in use during reactor operation and with the reactor shutdown.

Containment vent isolation is initiated by a safety injection (SI) signal or by manual actuation. The Bases for LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation," discuss initiation of SI signals.

Redundant and independent gaseous radioactivity monitors measure the radioactivity levels of the containment purge exhaust, each of which will initiate its associated train of automatic Containment Vent Isolation upon detection of high gaseous radioactivity.

The Reactor Building Purge System has inner and outer containment isolation valves in its supply and exhaust ducts. This system is described in the Bases for LCO 3.6.3, "Containment Isolation Valves."

APPLICABLE The containment isolation valves for the Reactor Building Purge System SAFETY close within six seconds following the DBA. The containment vent ANALYSES isolation radiation monitors act as backup to the SI signal to ensure closing of the purge air system supply and exhaust valves. Containment isolation in turn ensures meeting the containment leakage rate assumptions of the safety analyses, and ensures that the calculated accidental offsite radiological doses are below 10 CFR 100 (Ref. 1) limits.

The Containment Vent Isolation instrumentation satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 BASES LCO The LCO requirements ensure that the instrumentation necessary to initiate Containment Vent Isolation, listed in Table 3.3.6-1, is OPERABLE.

5. Manual Initiation The LCO requires two channels OPERABLE. The operator can initiate Containment Vent Isolation at any time by using either of two switches in the control room or from local panel(s). Either switch actuates both trains. This action will cause actuation of all components in the same manner as any of the automatic actuation signals. These manual switches also initiate a Phase A isolation signal.

The LCO for Manual Initiation ensures the proper amount of redundancy is maintained in the manual actuation circuitry to ensure the operator has manual initiation capability.

Each channel consists of one selector switch and the interconnecting wiring to the actuation logic cabinet.

6. Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays The LCO requires two trains of Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays OPERABLE to ensure that no single random failure can prevent automatic actuation.

Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays consist of the same features and operate in the same manner as described for ESFAS Function 1.b, SI. The applicable MODES and specified conditions for the containment vent isolation portion of the SI Function is different and less restrictive than those for the SI role. If one or more of the SI Functions becomes inoperable in such a manner that only the Containment Vent Isolation Function is affected, the Conditions applicable to the SI Functions need not be entered. The less restrictive Actions specified for inoperability of the Containment Vent Isolation Functions specify sufficient compensatory measures for this case.

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 BASES LCO 7. Containment Radiation (continued)

The LCO specifies two required channels of radiation monitors to ensure that the radiation monitoring instrumentation necessary to initiate Containment Vent Isolation remains OPERABLE.

For sampling systems, channel OPERABILITY involves more than OPERABILITY of the channel electronics. OPERABILITY may also require correct valve lineups and sample pump operation, as well as detector OPERABILITY, if these supporting features are necessary for trip to occur under the conditions assumed by the safety analyses.

Only the Allowable Value is specified for the Containment Purge Exhaust Radiation Monitors in the LCO. The Allowable Value is based on expected concentrations for a small break LOCA, which is more restrictive than 10 CFR 100 limits. The Allowable Value specified is more conservative than the analytical limit assumed in the safety analysis in order to account for instrument uncertainties appropriate to the trip function. The actual nominal Trip Setpoint is normally still more conservative than that required by the Allowable Value. Ifthe setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the radiation monitor is considered OPERABLE.

8. Safety Injection (SI)

Refer to LCO 3.3.2, Function 1, for all initiating Functions and requirements.

APPLICABILITY The Manual Initiation, Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, Safety Injection, and Containment Radiation Functions are required OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. Under these conditions, the potential exists for an accident that could release significant fission product radioactivity into containment. Therefore, the Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation must be OPERABLE in these MODES. See additional discussion in the Background and Applicable Safety Analysis sections.

While in MODES 5 and 6, the Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation need not be OPERABLE since the potential for radioactive releases is minimized and operator action is sufficient to ensure post accident offsite doses are maintained within the limits of Reference 1.

Containment Vent Isolation Instrumentation B 3.3.6 BASES (continued)

ACTIONS The most common cause of channel inoperability is outright failure or drift sufficient to exceed the tolerance allowed by unit specific calibration procedures. Typically, the drift is found to be small and results in a delay of actuation rather than a total loss of function. If the Trip Setpoint is less conservative than the tolerance specified by the calibration procedure, the channel must be declared inoperable immediately, and the appropriate Condition entered.

A Note has been added to the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered independently for each Function listed in Table 3.3.6-1. The Completion Time(s) of the inoperable channel(s)/train(s) of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

A.1 Condition A applies to the failure of one containment purge isolation radiation monitor channel. Since the two containment radiation monitors are both gaseous detectors, failure of a single channel may result in loss of the redundancy. Consequently, the failed channel must be restored to OPERABLE status. The 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> allowed to restore the affected channel is justified by the low likelihood of events occurring during this interval, and recognition that one or more of the remaining channels will respond to most events.

B.1 Condition B applies to all Containment Vent Isolation Functions and addresses the train orientation of the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) and the master and slave relays for these Functions. It also addresses the failure of multiple radiation monitoring channels, or the inability to restore a single failed channel to OPERABLE status in the time allowed for Required Action A. 1.

If a train is inoperable, multiple channels are inoperable, or the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A are not met, operation may continue as long as the Required Action for the applicable Conditions of LCO 3.6.3 is met for each valve made inoperable by failure of isolation instrumentation. A Note has been added above the Required Actions to allow one train of actuation logic to be placed in bypass and to delay entering the Required Actions for up to four hours to perform surveillance testing provided the other train is OPERABLE. The 4-hour allowance is consistent with the Required Actions for actuation logic trains in LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (continued)

Instrumentation" and allows periodic testing to be conducted while at power without causing an actual actuation. The delay for entering the Required Actions relieves the administrative burden of entering the Required Actions for isolation valves inoperable solely due to the performance of surveillance testing on the actuation logic and is acceptable based on the OPERABILITY of the opposite train.

ABGTS Actuation Instrumentation B 3.3.8 BASES B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.8 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment (ABGTS) Actuation Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND The ABGTS ensures that radioactive materials in the fuel building atmosphere following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) are filtered and adsorbed prior to exhausting to the environment. The system is described in the Bases for LCO 3.7.12, "Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)." The system initiates filtered exhaust of air from the fuel handling area, ECCS pump rooms, and penetration rooms automatically following receipt of a fuel pool area high radiation signal or a Containment Phase A Isolation signal. Initiation may also be performed manually as needed from the main control room.

There are a total of two channels, one for each train. A Phase A isolation signal from the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) initiates auxiliary building isolation and starts the ABGTS. These actions function to prevent exfiltration of contaminated air by initiating filtered ventilation, which imposes a negative pressure on the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE).

APPLICABLE The ABGTS ensures that radioactive materials in the ABSCE atmosphere SAFETY following a LOCA are filtered and adsorbed prior to being exhausted to ANALYSES the environment. This action reduces the radioactive content in the auxiliary building exhaust following a LOCA or fuel handling accident so that offsite doses remain within the limits specified in 10 CFR 100 (Ref. 1).

The ABGTS Actuation Instrumentation satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

ABGTS Actuation Instrumentation B 3.3.8 BASES APPLICABILITY The manual ABGTS initiation must be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure the ABGTS operates to remove fission products associated with leakage after a LOCA. The Phase A ABGTS Actuation is also required in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to remove fission products caused by post LOCA Emergency Core Cooling Systems leakage.

While in MODES 5 and 6, the ABGTS instrumentation need not be OPERABLE. See additional discussion in the Background and Applicable Safety Analysis sections.

ACTIONS The most common cause of channel inoperability is outright failure or drift sufficient to exceed the tolerance allowed by unit specific calibration procedures. Typically, the drift is found to be small and results in a delay of actuation rather than a total loss of function. If the Trip Setpoint is less conservative than the tolerance specified by the calibration procedure, the channel must be declared inoperable immediately and the appropriate Condition entered.

A Note has been added to the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered independently for each Function listed in Table 3.3.8-1 in the accompanying LCO. The Completion Time(s) of the inoperable channel(s)/train(s) of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

A.1 Condition A applies to the actuation logic train function from the Phase A Isolation and the manual initiation function. Condition A applies to the failure of a single actuation logic train or manual channel. If one channel or train is inoperable, a period of 7 days is allowed to restore it to OPERABLE status. If the train cannot be restored to OPERABLE status, one ABGTS train must be placed in operation. This accomplishes the actuation instrumentation function and places the unit in a conservative mode of operation. The 7-day Completion Time is the same as is allowed if one train of the mechanical portion of the system is inoperable. The basis for this time is the same as that provided in LCO 3.7.12.

Condition B applies to the failure of two ABGTS actuation logic signals from the Phase A Isolation or two manual channels. The Required Action is to place one ABGTS train in operation immediately. This accomplishes the actuation instrumentation function that may have been lost and places the unit in a conservative mode of operation. The applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.7.12 must also be entered for the ABGTS train made inoperable by the inoperable actuation instrumentation. This ensures appropriate limits are placed on train inoperability as discussed in the Bases for LCO 3.7.12.

Alternatively, both trains may be placed in the emergency radiation protection mode. This ensures the ABGTS Function is performed even in the presence of a single failure.

Cl and C2 Condition C applies when the Required Action and associated Completion Time for Condition A or B have not been met and the plant is in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4. The plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO requirements are not applicable. To achieve this status, the plant must 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 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Containment B 3.6.1 BASES APPLICABLE Satisfactory leakage rate test results are a requirement for the SAFETY establishment of containment OPERABILITY.

ANALYSES (continued) The containment satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Containment OPERABILITY is maintained by limiting leakage to < 1.0 La, except prior to the first start up after performing a required Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test. At this time, applicable leakage limits must be met.

Compliance with this LCO will ensure a containment configuration, including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leakage rates assumed in the safety analysis.

Individual leakage rates specified for the containment air lock (LCO 3.6.2), purge valves with resilient seals, and Shield Building containment bypass leakage (LCO 3.6.3) are not specifically part of the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. Therefore, leakage rates exceeding these individual limits only result in the containment being inoperable when the leakage results in exceeding the acceptance criteria of Appendix J, Option B.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material into containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, containment is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 and 6 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from containment.

(continued)

Watts Bar- Unit 2 B 3.6-3 (developmental) H

Containment Air Locks B 3.6.2 BASES (continued)

APPLICABLE The DBAs that result in a significant release of radioactive material within SAFETY containment are a loss of coolant accident and a rod ejection accident ANALYSES (Ref. 2). In the analysis of each of these accidents, it is assumed that containment is OPERABLE such that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of containment leakage. The containment was designed with an allowable leakage rate (La) of 0.25%

of containment air weight per day (Ref. 2), at the calculated peak containment pressure of 15.0 psig. This allowable leakage rate forms the basis for the acceptance criteria imposed on the SRs associated with the air locks.

The containment air locks satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Each containment air lock forms part of the containment pressure boundary. As part of containment pressure boundary, the air lock safety function is related to control of the containment leakage rate resulting from a DBA. Thus, each air lock's structural integrity and leak tightness are essential to the successful mitigation of such an event.

Each air lock is required to be OPERABLE. For the air lock to be considered OPERABLE, the air lock interlock mechanism must be OPERABLE, the air lock must be in compliance with the Type B air lock leakage test, and both air lock doors must be OPERABLE. The interlock allows only one air lock door of an air lock to be opened at one time. This provision ensures that a gross breach of containment does not exist when containment is required to be OPERABLE. Closure of a single door in each air lock is sufficient to provide a leak tight barrier following postulated events. Nevertheless, both doors are kept closed when the air lock is not being used for normal entry into and exit from containment.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, the containment air locks are not required in MODE 5 and 6 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from containment.

Watts Bar - Unit 2 B 3.6-7 (developmental) H

Containment Isolation Valves B 3.6.3 BASES (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, the containment isolation valves are not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 and 6.

ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by a Note allowing penetration flow paths, to be unisolated intermittently under administrative controls. These administrative controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator (licensed or unlicensed) at the valve controls, who is in continuous communication with the control room. In this way, the penetration can be rapidly isolated when a need for containment isolation is indicated. For valve controls located in the control room, an operator (other than the Shift Operations Supervisor (SOS), ASOS, or the Operator at the Controls) may monitor containment isolation signal status rather than be stationed at the valve controls. Other secondary responsibilities which do not prevent adequate monitoring of containment isolation signal status may be performed by the operator provided his/her primary responsibility is rapid isolation of the penetration when needed for containment isolation. Use of the Unit Control Room Operator (CRO) to perform this function should be limited to those situations where no other operator is available.

A second Note has been added to provide clarification that, for this LCO, separate Condition entry is allowed for each penetration flow path. This is acceptable, since the Required Actions for each Condition provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable containment isolation valve. Complying with the Required Actions may allow for continued operation, and subsequent inoperable containment isolation valves are governed by subsequent Condition entry and application of associated Required Actions.

The ACTIONS are further modified by third Note, which ensures appropriate remedial actions are taken, if necessary, if the affected systems are rendered inoperable by an inoperable containment isolation valve.

In the event the isolation valve leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate, Note 4 directs entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.6.1.

Containment Isolation Valves B 3.6.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.3.7 REQUIREMENTS Verifying that each 24 inch containment lower compartment purge valve is blocked to restrict opening to < 500 is required to ensure that the valves can close under DBA conditions within the times assumed in the analyses of References 1 and 2. Ifa LOCA occurs, the purge valves must close to maintain containment leakage within the values assumed in the accident analysis. At other times when containment pressurization concerns are not present, the purge valves can be fully open. The 18-month Frequency is appropriate because the blocking devices are typically removed only during a refueling outage.

SR 3.6.3.8 This SR ensures that the combined leakage rate of all Shield Building bypass leakage paths is less than or equal to the specified leakage rate.

This provides assurance that the assumptions in the safety analysis are met. The as left bypass leakage rate prior to the first startup after performing a leakage test, requires calculation using maximum pathway leakage (leakage through the worse of the two isolation valves). If the penetration is isolated by use of one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange, then the leakage rate of the isolated bypass leakage path is assumed to be the actual pathway leakage through the isolation device. If both isolation valves in the penetration are closed, the actual leakage rate is the lesser leakage rate of the two valves. At all other times, the leakage rate will be calculated using minimum pathway leakage.

The frequency is required by the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. This SR simply imposes additional acceptance criteria.

Although not a part of La, the Shield Building Bypass leakage path combined leakage rate is determined using the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, Type B and C leakage rates for the applicable barriers.

ABGTS B 3.7.12 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.12 Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System (ABGTS)

BASES BACKGROUND The ABGTS filters airborne radioactive particulates from the area of active Unit 2 ECCS components and Unit 2 penetration rooms following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).

The ABGTS consists of two independent and redundant trains. Each train consists of a heater, a prefilter, moisture separator, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, two activated charcoal adsorber sections for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves or dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system.

A second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines and provide backup in case the main HEPA filter bank fails.

The downstream HEPA filter is not credited in the analysis. The system initiates filtered ventilation of the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure (ABSCE) exhaust air following receipt of a Phase A containment isolation signal.

The ABGTS is a standby system, not used during normal plant operations. During emergency operations, the ABSCE dampers are realigned and ABGTS fans are started to begin filtration. Air is exhausted from the Unit 2 ECCS pump rooms, Unit 2 penetration rooms, and fuel handling area through the filter trains. The prefilters or moisture separators remove any large particles in the air, and any entrained water droplets present, to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.

The ABGTS is discussed in the FSAR, Sections 6.5.1, 9.4.2, 15.0, and 6.2.3 (Refs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively).

Watts Bar - Unit 2 B 3.7-63 (developmental) H

ABGTS B 3.7.12 BASES APPLICABLE The ABGTS design basis is established by the consequences of the SAFETY limiting Design Basis Accident (DBA), which is a LOCA. The analysis of ANALYSES the LOCA assumes that radioactive materials leaked from the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) are filtered and adsorbed by the ABGTS.

The DBA analysis assumes that only one train of the ABGTS is functional due to a single failure that disables the other train. The accident analysis accounts for the reduction in airborne radioactive material provided by the one remaining train of this filtration system. The amount of fission products available for release from the ABSCE is determined for a LOCA.

The assumptions and analysis for a LOCA follow the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.4 (Ref. 5).

The ABGTS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Two independent and redundant trains of the ABGTS are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one train is available, assuming a single failure that disables the other train, coincident with a loss of offsite power. Total system failure could result in the atmospheric release from the ABSCE exceeding the 10 CFR 100 (Ref. 6) limits in the event of a LOCA.

The ABGTS is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to control exposure in the Auxiliary Building are OPERABLE in both trains. An ABGTS train is considered OPERABLE when its associated:

a. Fan is OPERABLE;

b. HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration function; and

c. Heater, moisture separator, ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

APPLICABILITY In MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, the ABGTS is required to be OPERABLE to provide fission product removal associated with ECCS leaks due to a LOCA and leakage from containment and annulus.

In MODE 5 or 6, the ABGTS is not required to be OPERABLE since the ECCS is not required to be OPERABLE.

ACTIONS A.1 With one ABGTS train inoperable, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. During this period, the remaining OPERABLE train is adequate to perform the ABGTS function. The 7-day Completion Time is based on the risk from an event occurring requiring the inoperable ABGTS train, and the remaining ABGTS train providing the required protection.

B.1 and B.2 When Required Action A.1 cannot be completed within the associated Completion Time, or when both ABGTS trains are inoperable, the plant must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

ABGTS B 3.7.12 BASES ACTIONS (continued)

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.12.1 REQUIREMENTS Standby systems should be checked periodically to ensure that they function properly. As the environmental and normal operating conditions on this system are not severe, testing each train once every month provides an adequate check on this system.

Monthly heater operation dries out any moisture accumulated in the charcoal from humidity in the ambient air. The system must be operated for > 10 continuous hours with the heaters energized. The 31-day Frequency is based on the known reliability of the equipment and the two train redundancy available.

SR 3.7.12.2 This SR verifies that the required ABGTS testing is performed in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP). The ABGTS filter tests are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. 7).

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 frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

This SR verifies the integrity of the ABSCE. The ability of the ABSCE to maintain negative pressure with respect to potentially uncontaminated adjacent areas is periodically tested to verify proper function of the ABGTS. During the post accident mode of operation, the ABGTS is designed to maintain a slight negative pressure in the ABSCE, to prevent unfiltered LEAKAGE. The ABGTS is designed to maintain a negative pressure between -0.25 inches water gauge and -0.5 inches water gauge (value does not account for instrument error) with respect to atmospheric pressure at a nominal flow rate > 9300 cfm and < 9900 cfm. The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-0800, Section 6.5.1 (Ref. 8).

An 18-month Frequency (on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS) is consistent with Reference 7.

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.7.13 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.13 Fuel Storage Pool Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The minimum water level in the fuel storage pool meets the assumptions of iodine decontamination factors following a fuel handling accident. The specified water level shields and minimizes the general area dose when the storage racks are filled to their maximum capacity. The water also provides shielding during the movement of spent fuel.

A general description of the fuel storage pool design is given in the FSAR, Section 9.1.2 (Ref. 1). A description of the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling and Cleanup System is given in the FSAR, Section 9.1.3 (Ref. 2). The assumptions of the fuel handling accident are given in the FSAR, Section 15.5.6 (Ref. 3).

APPLICABLE The minimum water level in the fuel storage pool meets the assumptions SAFETY of the fuel handling accident described in Regulatory Guide 1.183 Rev. 6.

ANALYSES The Total effective Dose equivalent (TEDE) for control room occupants, individuals at the exclusion area boundary, and individuals within the low population zone will remain with 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 7) and Regulatory Position C.4.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref 6) for a fuel handling accident.

According to Reference 3, there is 23 ft of water between the top of the damaged fuel bundle and the fuel pool surface during a fuel handling accident. With 23 ft of water, the assumptions of Reference 6 can be used directly. In practice, this LCO preserves this assumption for the bulk of the fuel in the storage racks. In the case of a single bundle dropped and lying horizontally on top of the spent fuel racks; however, there may be < 23 ft of water above the top of the fuel bundle and the surface, indicated by the width of the bundle. To offset this small non-conservatism, the analysis assumes that all fuel rods fail, although analysis shows that only the first few rows fail from a hypothetical maximum drop.

The fuel storage pool water level satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

The specified water level preserves the assumptions of the fuel handling accident analysis (Ref. 3). As such, it is the minimum required for fuel storage and movement within the fuel storage pool.

APPLICABILITY This LCO applies during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel storage pool, since the potential for a release of fission products exists.

ACTIONS A.1 Required Action A.1 is modified by a Note indicating that LCO 3.0.3 does not apply.

When the initial conditions for prevention of an accident cannot be met, steps should be taken to preclude the accident from occurring. When the fuel storage pool water level is lower than the required level, the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel storage pool is immediately suspended. This action effectively precludes the occurrence of a fuel handling accident. This does not preclude movement of a fuel assembly to a safe position.

If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 5 or 6, LCO 3.0.3 would not specify any action. If moving irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, 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.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.13.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies sufficient fuel storage pool water is available in the event of a fuel handling accident. The water level in the fuel storage pool must be checked periodically. The 7 day Frequency is appropriate because the volume in the pool is normally stable. Water level changes are controlled by plant procedures and are acceptable based on operating experience.

During refueling operations, the level in the fuel storage pool is in equilibrium with the refueling canal, and the level in the refueling canal is checked daily in accordance with SR 3.9.7.1.

Refueling Cavity Water Level B 3.9.7 B 3.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS B 3.9.7 Refueling Cavity Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment requires a minimum water level of 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange.

During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the containment, refueling canal, fuel transfer canal, refueling cavity, and spent fuel pool.

Sufficient water is necessary to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident (Refs. 2 and 8). Sufficient iodine activity would be retained to limit offsite doses from the accident to the limits defined in 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 7) and Regulatory Position C.4.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8).

APPLICABLE During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the water level in the SAFETY refueling canal and the refueling cavity is an initial condition design ANALYSES parameter in the analysis of a fuel handling accident in containment. A minimum water level of 23 ft (Regulatory Position 2 of Appendix B to Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8)) allows an overall iodine decontamination factor of 200 to be used in the accident analysis. This relates to the assumption that 99.5% of the total iodine released from the pellet to cladding gap of all the dropped fuel assembly rods is retained by the refueling cavity water. The fuel pellet to cladding gap is assumed to contain 8% of the 1-131, 10% of the Kr-85, and 5% of the other noble gases and iodines from the total fission product inventory in accordance with Regulatory Position 3.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Ref. 8).

The fuel handling accident analysis inside containment is described in Reference 2. With a minimum water level of 23 ft in conjunction with a minimum decay time of 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> prior to fuel handling, the analysis and test programs demonstrate that the iodine release due to a postulated fuel handling accident is adequately captured by the water and offsite doses are maintained within allowable limits (Refs. 7 and 8 ).

Refueling cavity water level satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

Refueling Cavity Water Level B 3.9.7 BASES (continued)

LCO A minimum refueling cavity water level of 23 ft above the reactor vessel flange is required to ensure that the radiological consequences of a postulated fuel handling accident inside containment are within acceptable limits, as provided by the guidance of Reference 3.

APPLICABILITY LCO 3.9.7 is applicable when moving irradiated fuel assemblies within containment. The LCO minimizes the possibility of a fuel handling accident in containment that is beyond the assumptions of the safety analysis. If irradiated fuel assemblies are not present in containment, there can be no significant radioactivity release as a result of a postulated fuel handling accident. Requirements for fuel handling accidents in the spent fuel pool are covered by LCO 3.7.13, "Fuel Storage Pool Water Level."

ACTIONS A._1 With a water level of < 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, all operations involving movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the containment shall be suspended immediately to ensure that a fuel handling accident cannot occur. The suspension of fuel movement shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.

A.2 In addition to immediately suspending movement of irradiated fuel, actions to restore refueling cavity water level must be initiated immediately.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.7.1 REQUIREMENTS Verification of a minimum water level of 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange ensures that the design basis for the analysis of the postulated fuel handling accident during refueling operations is met.

Water at the required level above the top of the reactor vessel flange limits the consequences of damaged fuel rods that are postulated to result from a fuel handling accident inside containment (Ref. 2).

The Frequency of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is based on engineering judgment and is considered adequate in view of the large volume of water and the normal procedural controls of valve positions, which make significant unplanned level changes unlikely.
